The field of contemptible anti-gay activists has long been overcrowded, like a room full of teenagers frenetically rushing a concert stage. In this cacophony of crazy it is quite a feat to rise above the din. Yet radio host and Mission America President Linda Harvey is making a name for herself by fast becoming the most homophobic woman in the nation.
Linda Harvey
Unlike her more sophisticated counterparts, Harvey is a zealot without a filter who appears unable to finesse her fanaticism. She is outright paranoid of an imagined gay menace that in her diseased mind is lurking to corrupt children on every street corner. For example, Harvey’s latest screed warns naïve mothers about the “threat” of openly gay doctors and nurses treating their children.
“There are a few homosexual doctors treating kids, there are far more nurses, LPNs, technicians and other health care workers in these lifestyles so you may want to consider writing a letter that you file with your pediatrician that should your child ever be hospitalized, you do not want your child to be treated or cared for by one of these members of the Children’s Hospital gay employees group except in the case of an emergency situation.”
Harvey is also opposed to openly LGBT schoolteachers and claimed on her website that that, “These teachers then become role models, in-house activists, and possible confidants for students who want to start homosexual behavior. Student molestation becomes a real risk.”
The Mission America leader is so obsessed with bashing LGBT people that she even took a swipe while commenting on the mortgage crisis: “But back to our main point, probably few such households are homosexually-headed, because few homosexuals want to settle down to any kind of permanence.” (Has she seen the latest census figures or actually met any gay couples?)
Harvey is so extreme that she believes she has the right to control the lives of LGBT people: “Our President has launched a broad scale attack on traditional values,” Harvey said on her radio program. “If homosexuals and transgenders are allowed to live and love as they see fit, we would have a whole societal mess on our hands, which is already starting to happen in some areas.”
Exactly what does Harvey mean when she says, “If homosexuals and transgenders are allowed to live and love as they see fit?” Is Harvey suggesting that she and her fundamentalist friends have the right to dominion over our existence? Does she think that she has the authority to deny us life, liberty, and freedom?
Harvey answered these questions at a March 2010 speaking appearance in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. At the event she flat out lied about Uganda’s “Kill the Gays” bill and even expressed her support for the deadly legislation: “The fact they are re-criminalizing homosexuality is (a) their business, (b) it is patronizing for white Westerners to be telling these folks — they are seeing George Soros funded gay groups going into Uganda. They are all through the schools, lots of promotion to kids. Poor kids, poor kids are being offered money and favors and gifts to have sex. That’s exploitation. That’s sex trafficking. And it’s being done mostly homosexually. By Western homosexuals coming in and trying to get involved in Uganda.”
It is absolutely abominable and shameless that Harvey peddled such unsubstantiated propaganda about LGBT westerners coming to Uganda to exploit children. In reality, the Westerners who are actually going to this nation are fundamentalist Christians who are exporting homophobia in an effort to take over Uganda though business contracts and the funneling of US taxpayer money into this repressive, rogue state.
More disturbing, it seems that Harvey thinks it’s okay to terrorize, imprison, and even murder LGBT people in any country that would allow it. One wonders if she would deem it a local matter if the legislation in Uganda were called the “Kill the Christians Bill.” And one also questions if her support for such brutal punishment would apply to American states had they the ability to pass such punitive anti-gay laws.
Finally, Harvey is so mean-spirited that she even gives succor to school bullies by attacking Dan Savage’s laudable It Gets Better campaign: “It’s supposed to encourage kids, that’s great,” says Harvey. “Encourage kids, say, you know if you’re having trouble, you’re getting bullied, you feel despaired, don’t give up. That would be a worthy goal if they stop there. But no they tag on to it approval of homosexuality and the implication that anybody who objects is just like those bullies out there and they’re leading you or others into suicide. That’s just wrong, it’s evil, it’s dark…”
If one wants to witness evil and darkness, look no further than the ignorant mind, cruel heart, and empty soul of Linda Harvey.

Don’t forget Sally Kern. She could give this idiot a run for her money.
Maggie Gallagher is being outdone!
That’s what she prides herself on?
Salf-hatred at its finest
She’s still a bitch.
Because we always hear that LGBT teachers molest kids and doctors and nurses too. Oh ok
Dumb broad
let’s take all the homophobic women and leave them on one island, and all the homophobic men leave them in a desert on the other side of the earth. maybe they’ll die out…
I surely hope Linda gets a speeding ticket and the judge would say “Nope, you’re not gonna pay the $250 fine but I’m gonna sentence you 30 days in jail with women who is either bi or lebian.” Who knows? she could co me out as a changed woman!
and, in another homosexual doctor related incident…
Everyone needs a goal.
She’s the biggest bitch in the whole wide world…
I’m growing so tired of this insane woman. First she says I don’t exist, now this? I feel like she’s just trying to Be Ann Coulter and say the most mind-numbingly stupid things she can conjure up to get attention from the media.
The best part is that she thinks she’s fighting for America, a country founded on freedom and a personal pursuit of happiness. You can’t represent this country and stand against everything this country stands for at the same time.
Ugly inside and out I see. She doesn’t impress me, just another Anita Bryant wannabe.
Everybody sing! Linda Harvey is a bitch, she’s a big big bitch, she’s the biggest bitch in the whole wide world…
lmao :D
It’s so sad to know that there are still unenlightened, close-minded people in this world. :-(
what a nut job!!!
stop giving her a platform! get her off our site! smh
She should get an award for winning this coveted title. Perhaps, say, a rocket trip right into the sun?
Even homophobic people hate her – so who does she think ‘supports’ her???
what a bitch!
She is absolutely horrible in every way
This lady should be deported to some private island with only LGBT people to live with for an entire year.
Linda Harvey can claim to be a Christian all she likes. True Christians, and I know a TON of them, don’t judge, and don’t hate. They live by the words of Christ, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Think about this, Linda- When your time comes, will the Lord say to you, “Well done, my good and faithful servant,” or will He turn His head from you and say, “Depart from me; I know ye not?” I can’t say I know where your soul is headed, Linda, but if I were you, I’d pack for really, really hot weather.
she’s not a bitch actually – I like dogs!!! She’s just a sad, pathetic individual who needs pity. I can’t even be bothered to hate her, waste of energy!
she is probably proud as hell of that accolade being the most homophobic person in the world. what a sick human!
Ignorant ass bitch!!
Maybe she is incapable of having an Orgasm. She should see Dr. Phil at http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/371.
well said matthew. a christian would follow the teachings of christ and leave the judging to god instead of tyring to take over the lord’s job
shes a dumb bitch!! and needs a lesson 101 in the gay/lesbbian community!!
“There are a few homosexual doctors treating kids, there are far more nurses, LPNs, technicians and other health care workers in these lifestyles so you may want to consider writing a letter that you file with your pediatrician that should your child ever be hospitalized, you do not want your child to be treated or cared for by one of these members of the Children’s Hospital gay employees group except in the case of an emergency situation.”
Oh right, so it’s ok as long as it’s an emergency then? Horrid horrid woman!!!!
You can see the hate that oozes from every pore in this woman. This crap is what THEY call pure evil, and look where it comes from?
She’s really a closet lesbian afraid of he own sexuality..lol
*her
And the most cuntliest at that.
Demented, evil She-Devil >:-(
she’s a dyke
She is a total waste of space on this planet. But one day life will get even with her and she will get what she deserves for all the hate that runs through her veins.
She’ll get her day and eat her words.
She must be single…she is homely!!!! Poor thing, I feel sorry for her!!! I mean she is just pathetic and sad!! Look at her she is extremely horrifying to look at and she looks absolutely miserable!!!!
Well… this is just flat out wrong.
She’s fucking DEMENTED. Talking slander about us and then proposing to slaughter all gays, bis, lesbians, and transgenders? She needs mental help.
Legitimate mental help. Like I said, DEMENTED.
So… she slanders all over the LGBT community and proposes to kill us all off? Honestly reminds me of Hitler… but she needs mental therapy or SOMETHING if she supposes this to be right. Which should include living with a gay couple for a year, witness that, for s matter of pure fact, we can be just as committed as straights.
This ignorant trick is demented.
I can think of dozens of cases of molestation by straight teachers but I’m drawing a blank on any LGBT cases. someone please enlighten me. I can’t stand people like this. How can one person be so GD ignorant?
Linda dear! Just come out of the closet! You’ll feel so much better!!!! She is making it clear she is gay because it is easier to bash gay people then to come out from the closet and feel the fear! We all have came out and I’d never go back!!!
Whats in her past for such a reaction formation…
Obviously molestation.
Her sullen face tells it all : she looks like an Inquisitor,lol
Anyone has the right to choose who cares for their child. Maybe parents don’t want to deal with the inevitable questions that will come up if a transgender/man in drag is treating their 6 year od child. It’s the parents right to handle that as they see fit, and calling someone a bitch for pointing it out is harsh and extreme.
Linda Harvey is a model Christian. This is exactly the kind of hatred that churches and right-wing politicians love to spread. They are trying to get us killed.
Gays, think about this the next time you’re tempted to give your money to a religious organization. This is what you’re funding!
Look at that face. No lesbian in the world would want that. Anyway, she’s a straight, bible loving, cross burning bitch.
She’s only saying what the preachers won’t say because they want our money.
LGBT people! It is DANGEROUS to give money to any religious organization. They will use it against you. Giving money to religion is no smarter than giving a loaded gun to your worst enemy.
