Utah Homophobe Senator Chris Buttars Doesn't Want Gays 'Stuffin' It Down His Throat All The Time'
The Mormon Church's endorsement of a Salt Lake City anti-discrimination ordinance that would protect gays and lesbians in matters of housing and employment has caused one of the state's biggest homophobes to ease in his positions on statewide rights for gays.
Following the suggestion that the LDS Church's endorsement could extend beyond Salt Lake's borders, "Buttars, a West Jordan
Republican and fiery opponent of gay rights, said Wednesday he 'very
well might' sponsor legislation in 2010 that would allow local
governments to adopt such anti-discrimination measures for housing and
employment -- but forbid them from going any further on gay rights. 'Maybe we ought to have a statewide bill that allows those things,' Buttars said, 'but that's all it allows. No creep.' Buttars said he opposes any 'legislative creep' toward gay marriage."
Hey wait, isn't Buttars the creep?
You may remember Buttars was removed from two committees in February for comparing gays to radical Muslim extremists and asserting that they are America's 'greatest threat.' He later said he stood by his remarks.
Watch FOX 13's interview, in which Buttars says, "I don't mind gays. I just don't want 'em stuffin' it down my throat all the time," AFTER THE JUMP...

Why are all right wingers such perverts? All they think about is sex.

Don't blame us honey, you're the one talking about having something stuffed down your throat. The lady doth protest too much methinks.

Once a pig, always a pig.
I can only imagine what it must be like to be the type of person that could help make this world a better place only by leaving it.
Watching all of this play out, and watching heterosexuals carry on in the manner they have, really makes me so happy not to be one of them.
I would sooner take their abuse and bullshit any day.
They have become kind of embarrassing.

So much to have fun with. The down the throat was too easy, my favorite was how he uses the term 'the gays', just like Kathy Griffin. I wonder if he watches her show?

So he's a top then? Heterosexuals sometimes confuse me. I don't understand what they want!

Hey, Senator Buttholes, er um, Buttars... we'll stop stuffing it down your throat when gay citizens have all of their civil rights in the land of the free. Until then, I'd keep gargling with salt water if I were you.
