Bradlee Dean's sidekick Jake McMillian:
"We have countries all over the world that are standing for what's right and what's wrong. In Rwanda, there's legislation right now that repeat offenders of homosexuality will spend their life in prison."
Bradlee Dean agrees and goes on to say sodomy laws protect gays who he says are committing "slow suicide"
Listen:
Is this what the Heritage Foundation stands for?
Does Tony Sutton, Michael Brodkorb, Michele Bachmann, Tom Emmer and the rest of the MN GOP leadership believe gays should be arrested and sentenced to life in jail?
Alliance for a Better Minnesota has a petition asking Tom Emmer to throw Bradlee Dean and his ministry of hate under the bus:
Earlier this week, Republican Tom Emmer’s campaign contacted the state Campaign Finance Board about a possible campaign violation involving a donation to the controversial ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International.
A mistake with a $250 donation is one thing, but the extreme and hateful rhetoric coming out of You Can Run International frontman Bradlee Dean is much more troubling for Tom Emmer.
On May 15th, Dean took to the airwaves to say that extreme efforts by Muslims in other countries to execute people based on sexual orientation made them “more moral than even American Christians.”
While he was trying to distance himself from the extreme views of You Can Run International, Tom Emmer even called YCRI “nice people.”
Hateful, violence-condoning rhetoric has no place in Minnesota, and it does not deserve any defense by people running for public office. Discrimination and violence towards our family, friends, and neighbors in the LGBT community is far too real to allow this to go any further.
Sign our petition below demanding Tom Emmer denounce this hateful organization, and take back any money that he may have given them and donate an equal amount to the Matthew Shepard Foundation, an organization that speaks out against hate.
UPDATE: The gay couple arrested in Malawi have been freed:
Some great news from Africa yesterday. The president of Malawi Bingu Wa Mutharaki pardoned to gay couple previously sentenced to 14 years in jail after talks with UN leader Ban Ki-moon. He still thought they did something that was a crime against the country’s culture religion and law but out of humanity pardoned them even though he does not agree with what they did. Seems like the foreign pressure did help.
California Senator Roy Ashburn, who recently was outed as gay admitted in an interview that during his career he voted against gay issues out of fear his secret would be revealed. He said with it he denied gays basic rights and was ashamed of it. Another reason closeted politicians need to be outed.
A survey in the U.K showed that 61% of gay men are afraid to show affection in public. They are hesitant to kiss/hold hands ,only 6% of straight couples feel the same. Pretty bad, wonder what that is in the U.S. I never hold hands with my boyfriend in public but do kiss upon seeing him. Not slobbery, just a hello kiss and that should be fine.
A Minnesota christian ministry, tied to tea-bagger favorite, the horrible Michelle Bachman, praised the Muslims for their call to execute gays in the U.S on a radio show. The host Bradlee Dean goes on about gays being predators, destroying lives and God raising an enemy for the U.S to kill the gays. Such loving people.
Reporters need to ask Bachmann about Bradlee Dean.
