What kind of mixed message is this? "Joe the Plumber" (note, his real name is not Joe, and last I heard, he was not an officially licensed plumber) says that he has gay friends (who must have really low self-esteem, apparently), but that he won’t allow openly gay people anywhere near his children. He then claims that he isn’t using the word "queer" as a slur, and then mentions the word "honky" as being a slur. (I.e. apparently things only count if they are said by other people by him.)
He also says later in the interview that he is waiting for a sign from God before running for elected office. If Joe/Sam DOES get a sign, it’s my guess that God is a Democrat, and She really wants his opponent to win. Or maybe She just has a wonderfully perverse sense of humor.
This man’s 15 minutes of fame were up a LONG time ago.
Joe The Plumber Slurs Gay People: I Would Never Let "Queers" Near My Children
Joe the Plumber, aka Samuel Wurzelbacher, sat down for an lengthy interview with Christianity Today to discuss his views on the future of the Republican party. Wurzelbacher took the opportunity to speak out against gay marriage, which he says is wrong. The unlikely conservative spokesman went so far as to say he doesn’t allow openly gay people "anywhere near" his children.
The word "queer," Wurzelbacher noted, "means strange and unusual."
