An Asheville-area Republican political operative has taken to Twitter to call Susan Wilson, an openly lesbian contender for a N.C. State House seat, “an old ugly dyke.”
The tweet came from the account of Michael F. Muller, who once managed a separate political campaign for Nathan Ramsey, Wilson’s opponent in the race to represent House District 115.
Wilson is a Victory Fund-endorsed candidate and a longtime lawyer who prosecuted child support cases for the Department of Social Services.
“Susan Wilson has only ever wanted to serve her community and help Buncombe County families. To be faced with this kind of vicious and mean-spirited attack in the middle of a campaign for the state legislature is just incredibly disappointing,” said Tiffany Muller, vice president for political operations at the Victory Fund.
“Nathan Ramsey should disavow this attack and condemn his former campaign manager for injecting anti-gay politics into this race at the last minute,” said Muller.
Just one current member of the N.C. state legislature is openly gay, but Wilson is one of three Victory-endorsed candidates who could give the state’s LGBT community a bolder voice in Raleigh.

You have an IQ of 80 and wanted to be the smartest person in the state???
Dude, serious? How freaking stupid and horrible can people get to the LGBT community who just simply want rights like everyone else?!
Lowest form of intelligence- always resorts to name calling. Everytime. (And usually have the most skeletons in their own closet)
yep…another day in paradise…we’ve really come a long way, uh huh
-_- sigh
Nothing like Christian love .
Is that the best he can do? Bring it on asshole.
Sad that “adults” even resort to name-calling. :(
what do you EXPECT from such IGNORANT, STUPID people…I myself have been called names like this by people who DON’T KNOW anything about me.
now i am trully shamed to live in north carolina
WWJH? (Who Would Jesus Hate?)
Here I had been thinking about visiting Asheville, but screw that! Between the gay guy getting beat up, and this asshat politician, not so sure it’s worth it. People like Michael Muller make it difficult to find tolerance anymore. Why must we tolerate them? Would be nice if he’d get voted out of office.
More North Carolina bigotry.
I used to live in NC. When people are bigots down there, they definitely know how to hurt people’s feelings and go below the belt.
Not surprising…Florida is just as bad.
Sadly bigotry is everywhere. Asheville and where I live – just south of it, Hendersonville – are actually for the most part pretty tolerant. I have very few problems except the occasional faggot called out to me which I find hilarious since I am a dyke. LOL
wow why are people so ignorant it s freekin sad cause this all needs to end deal with it and let god judge us i hate people who try to play god and then some i understand we all need god in one point in our lives but this is overraecting
dykes, fags, apples or oranges, they can just never get it “straight”! lol guess they missed the “stick and stones will break my bones” that their sweet lil ole country granny taught em…
Actually she’s quite fetching…I would be happy to date such a smart, upstanding lady. Then the big hits could call us both dykes.
he is an ass fuck homophobe. shes friggin adorable
