To help ring in the New Year, anti-gay
activist Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About
Homosexuality (AFTAH), wrote a poem about Michael Sam kissing his
boyfriend.
The kiss in question took place when
Sam learned that he had been drafted into the NFL, making him the
league's first openly gay player. ESPN broadcast the moment live.
LaBarbera has previously condemned the
kiss, claiming that people were “forced “ to watch it.
In introducing his poem, which is set
to Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and
Ham, LaBarbera anticipated that he would be chided by
“humorless homosexuals” and “progressive hacks” who “bristle
at anything characterizing homosexuality as immoral, destructive and
changeable.”
“But who cares: LGBTQ activists
attack, slander and lie about AFTAH all the time anyway. So enjoy …
or not. Happy New Year!”
Notable lines include, “We don't want
to see this man-on-man!” and “Why are so many diseases linked to
'sex' in the anus?”
