Rick Scarborough, Tea Party Leader, Suggests Class Action Lawsuit Against Homosexuality

Quote
Former Baptist pastor and Tea Party Unity founder Rick Scarborough spoke with conservative activist Peter LaBarbera on Thursday about potential anti-gay strategies, including a class action lawsuit against homosexuality.

“The whole issue of a class action lawsuit, you and I have talked about this a little bit,” Scarborough told LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, in a conversation at a Tea Party Unity gathering Thursday. People For the American Way’s Right Wing Watch, a progressive advocacy group that monitors and reports on conservative political organizations, posted a partial transcript and audio recording of the discussion.

Scarborough said he believes homosexuality and tobacco companies should be equally vulnerable to class action lawsuits.

Only in America can someone this delusional get to a position where someone publishes what he says.

They can call it: Sue the gay away smile

These two legal eagles didn’t quite explain how this was supposed to work - would the target of the suit be gay organizations, the entire gay population, or maybe just the ad agency for Abercrobie & Fitch? Would lesbians, who are far less likely to have HIV than straights, be left alone, or sued for contributing to overall gaiety?

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

They'll have to start by suing their own gay children I guess.

Not to mention the complete mystery as to how they would go about stating a claim for damages.
