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.
Trump himself is a homophobe. Just listen to remarks he has made recently. Why would we expect him to address this issue on his show?
Jane always seems angry and outraged. And righteous (with that pointy finger thing she does). And her volume is infectious. So nice to have Wayne as a commenter who can communicate at a non-hostile level (and his few comments were absolutely spot-on: particularly the point about “dressed up/pulpits” etc.).
Thank you Reed — very kind of you. :)
The thought of any comments about appearance coming from Lil’ Idiot are hilarious. That aside, Trump is the king of babbling on and knowing nothing. I’m sure he thought a good slur would keep the ratings going for his snoozefest.
