On last week’s edition of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality Radio Hour, a self-described “former homosexual” called for the arrest of author Dan Savage for his campaign to end suicide among LGBT youth, and today host Peter LaBarbera and guest Patrick Wooden reminisced about when violence against gay and transgender people was considered “normal.”

Wooden, a North Carolina pastor and anti-gay activist with who has claimed that older gay men have to wear diapers after a lifetime of shoving a variety of objects and animals up their anuses, started the program by criticizing NAACP president Ben Jealous for addressing the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s Creating Change conference.
In his speech, Jealous described how his childhood best friend whom he considered a brother was bullied not only because he is black but also because of his “preference for wigs, dresses and make-up.” Pastor Wooden said that the family should have “whooped” him and “taught the child how to dress,” saying that his “heart breaks” for the NAACP’s stance on LGBT rights.
Later in the interview, Wooden and LaBarbera both claimed that it was “normal” for men to violently react to a gay man they perceived to be flirting with them and LaBarbera even said he fears that it would be considered a “hate crime” for a man to punch a transgender woman using the woman’s restroom.
Listen:
LaBarbera: It used to be common of course, I’ve heard many stories. I remember a story from a military guy, saying a guy came and he was a sailor and they had some temporary little day off at port and some guy hit on him and he decked him.
Wooden: That’s normal.

Lord and Lady…
Since when is violence considered ‘normal’?!? Seriously?!?
Fuck buddies
What a couple of total fucktards…I wonder if Mr. (I refuse to call him a ‘pastor’) Wooden remembers when it was “Ok” and ‘accepted’ to attack and kill blacks as ‘normal’…goddamned hypocrite.
I wonder if Patrick Wooden remembers when pro-segregration violence against blacks was “normal”
and once upon a time slavery was considered “normal” as well.
Yes, and at those same ‘good ole days’ the Klan could march in the streets and hang anyone who wasn’t white from trees and lamp-posts. Guess that’s okay, too, right?
Way to go, Uncle Tom.
Might as well stone people, since that was regarded as “normal” violence in the Bible.
I really can’t believe these fucks sleep at night!
Yep…and I remember when violence against anyone who wasn’t white was considered “normal” too. When are these morons going to realize that just because something was condoned or accepted as “normal” by the majority, doesn’t mean it was RIGHT!!
yep, those were the good old days before the time when we actually started fighting back.
Really, what the hell is wrong with the human race, Savage!
sometimes i cant read things like this because i get so irritated and let the anger get the better of me, and i almsot go against my buddhist practice and day dream about very horrible things happining to these people, but in turn i realize its there down fall, they are poisoned with hate and anger, and as they dream about anti lgbt violance we dream about a world of love, if they want us dead, then i say let them kill us, because i for one rather die with love in my heart then live with hate poisoning my soul.
Guess I Could Pro-Create……..In A Pinch…….Just Need A Heads Up..
Wwwahaaatttt???
Got to love right at the end of the audio clip where they say: “But we’re not advocating violence here.” “Of course not.” That kind of disingenuous comment and cognitive dissonance is so typical. So what do they think they are advocating? Some kind of Christian “love”? Thugs.
