In a rant about President Obama, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh sarcastically said he wanted to thank the president for “appointing a pervert to serve as the safe schools czar.”
Limbaugh was referring to former GLSEN founder Kevin Jennings. Oddly, this was part of a fiery monologue on how the right wing was not extreme. Thanks for proving the point of your critics, Mr. Limbaugh.
Wayne Besen is the Founding Executive Director of Truth Wins Out and author of “Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth” (Haworth, 2003). In 2010, Besen was awarded the “Visionary Award” at the Out Music Awards for organizing the American Prayer Hour, an event which shined a spotlight on the role American evangelicals played in the introduction of Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
You could have stopped at “Disgusting: Rush Limbaugh”.
I’m not sure I’d call Jennings himself a pervert, because I don’t think he was ever a member of NAMBLA. But his hero, Harry Hay, WAS. That’s quite enough for me to dislike the guy and I’m a lesbian.
