The newly elected mayor of Latta, South Carolina, just fired the town’s first female police chief because she is openly gay. She’s been a cop there for more than 20 years, with an exemplary record.
Bullard was recorded by a city council member making several unsavory statements about Moore and other town employee.
According to a local news report (which obtained the audio), Bullard said:
“I would much rather have.. and I will say this to anybody’s face… somebody who drank and drank too much taking care of my child than I had somebody whose lifestyle is questionable around children.Because that ain’t the damn way it’s supposed to be. You know.. you got people out there — I’m telling you buddy — I don’t agree with some of the lifestyles that I see portrayed and I don’t say anything because that is the way they want to live, but I am not going to let my child be around. ”
I’m not going to let 2 women stand up there and hold hands and let my child be aware of it. And I’m not going to see them do it with 2 men neither.”
And I’m going to take their jobs away. And then I’m going to be in big big trouble.
Let’s hope so at least.

I suppose he’s talking about babysitters who are drunk on communion wine…? Oh, THAT’s a good idea O_O

Two women holding hands?
Heavens!
And a child might… be… aware of it?
Think of the damage!
Best we hang ’em all.
No offense, of course…
Pierce R. Butler says
Drinking too much does not constitute even a “questionable lifestyle” for Hizzoner?
And if he “will say this to anybody’s face”, how could having his statement recorded and publicized bother him?

Outside the Buddy System Chambers™, he might say it to anybody’s face in private. You know, so the liberal gay agenda can’t attack him.

Reminds me of how my now-adult, straight son spent many weekends at the home of his doting aunt and her (also doting) female partner when he was a child. These ladies were out, and had many gay friends, yet he didn’t even realize they were a couple until the partner passed away when he was in college. It just never occurred to him before then to think about their relationship as sexual, although they owned a house together and slept in the same bed.
This is why the right-wing obsession with the supposed ill effects on our youth is all just bs to me; kids are just FINE with adults who are good people. The only ones dwelling on sex are these ignorant adults.

Somebody call CPS, because that’s something my kids are so used to, they’re not even noticing it anymore

Yanno, last I heard alcoholism was WAAAAAAAAAAY more influenced by who kids grew up around than homosexuality was.
