Christian conservative group Liberty
Counsel on Wednesday asked followers to weigh in on whether it will
soon be “taboo to be heterosexual in America?”
“Will it soon be taboo to be
heterosexual in America? Vote for #promarriage,” the
group messaged to its 4,500 followers.
The tweet was largely panned, with
responses ranging from “Stoooopidest tweet of the year” to “You
guys got a special kind of stupid going on over there.”
The tweet included a link to an
Alliance Defending Freedom post alerting members to the recent ouster
of six of the seven Illinois Republican officials who last year
publicly called to hold a vote on removing former Illinois GOP
Chairman Pat Brady for his support of gay marriage.
Brady made his comments as lawmakers
debated a bill allowing gay couples to marry.
