Dear friends,
I love gay people, I have gay friends, BUT…"
"This is just another part of the liberal agenda."
"I want to protect my rights and my religion."
"This just isn’t appropriate for children."
Casual homophobia was rampant in 2016. So rampant, it's been excused as "opinions" or "political views."
It's not. And we need to call it out for exactly what it is.
That's why we've matched up some of the worst promoters of this kind of coded hate in an online battle for Homophobe of the Year.
They've gone above and beyond to disempower, threaten, or hurt LGBT people in the name of political agendas, twisted ideas of religion, or blatant self-promotion.
Voting will happen in three rounds, narrowing down the contenders in each round until All Out members have crowned this year's biggest homophobe. Then we'll make sure our winner knows what we really think of their anti-LGBT bigotry.
Here’s your chance to call out some of the year’s worst homophobes for what they really are. Like Donald Trump.
Not only did Trump run on the most anti-LGBT Republican platform in the party's history, but he appointed one of the most notoriously anti-LGBT politicians as his Vice President. Trump has spoken out against marriage equality and supports "religious freedom" bills that legalise discrimination against LGBT people.
His empty pandering and flip flopping on LGBT issues shouldn't be taken lightly. Every time this attention-seeking, billionaire reality star posts a bigoted tweet, he's giving millions of people permission to do the same and follow his ways.
Let's call out homophobes like Trump for what they really are!
Thanks for going All Out,
Matt, Sarah, Pamela, Leandro, Yuri, Enrique, and the rest of the All Out team.
