Homophobia is usually deeply ingrained in older people



Tim Philpot claims to have discovered a “phenomenal love” for gays and lesbians in his seventh decade. As a state senator however, he did not think LGBT people deserved hate crime protection because he considered gays themselves "the primary form" of anti-gay violence, as this newspaper article recalls:

HATE-CRIME PROVISION SURVIVES
Chad Carlton, HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER
FRANKFORT - Republican lawmakers tried unsuccessfully yesterday to remove from a wide-ranging crime bill tougher penalties for people who commit hate crimes.
Sen. Tim Philpot touched off a verbal backlash from Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee by claiming that gay men are the greatest source of violence against themselves because they spread AIDS.
"The lifestyle itself is extremely destructive," said Philpot, R-Lexington . He added, "The real problem of violence in the gay community is they are hurting each other."
Philpot's amendment would have removed portions of the bill that would increase penalties for people who commit crimes against people because of their race, color, religion or national origin.
"I don't think hate-motivated crime should be punished at a greater level than greed-motivated crime," he said. he said, homosexuals are "the primary form" of anti-gay violence, via the spread of AIDS.
"All I'm trying to say to the gay community is, `Your conduct is killing you; therefore, don't do it,' " Philpot said.

Tim Philpot says he is not heterosexual - then what?

Image
Poem Timmy P wrote a poem:  Being gay is so passé, And hetero is retro. Nowadays, one swings both ways, To stay “de rigueur” in the Metro! Relax Nosario, I’m not throwing open the closet doors. What I’m saying here is that God doesn’t care about gonads and chromosomes. When we sit on his lap, our sexuality doesn’t matter one iota. When he sees our hearts and minds and souls, we are all hermaphrodites in his eyes.   Therefore, spiritually speaking our gender and sexual identity is meaningless. Unless we want to perform a legal commitment ceremony – then it becomes really important. I know it’s confusing but there’s probably an appendix in the bible that explains it.
