HOMOPHOBIC SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER RESIGNS
The man who wrote on Facebook that gay teens should commit suicide has resigned from a US school board in disgrace.
“I’m sorry I’ve hurt people with my comments. I’m sorry I made those ignorant comments and hurt people on a broad spectrum,” said Clint McCance, who is vice-president of the Midland School District in Arkansas.
McCance wrote on Facebook: “Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide.” He also said that he was happy that gays can’t procreate and that “they often give each other aids and die.”
The comments generated international outrage with calls for him to step down from his position, which McCance has now agreed to do.
“I would never support suicide for any kids,” he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
“I’d like to extend apologies to those families that have lost children, for all those children who feel that suicide is the only way out, especially for the five families who have already lost children. I brought more hurt on them… they didn’t deserve that and I do feel genuinely bad for them.”
McCance, who still asserts his opposition to homosexuality, said that he has sent his wife and two children out of state because he was concerned for their safety.
“I’m reaping what I’ve sown,” he admitted. “I’ve had a lot of hate speech thrown at me and my family on every level.”
Hate speech. That numb-nuts deserves to be chained to my pink tractor and ploughed through Dame Edna’s possum field!
…. Why do idiots like him (and celebs) love to say stupid things and then when the sh!t hit the fans they act all concerned and apologetic. Why say horrible things in the first place? While typing out his FB msg did the thought not cross his pea-sized brain that maybe a few people would have trouble with what he was saying?! Or is he really that dumb?! Then again, people only stupid things to get their 15 minutes of fame … he sure got his and a whole lot more than he bargained for!
He’s vice-president of the Midland School District but he believes it’s the gay people that are spreading aids. And the fact that he gets so uptight over homsexuality shows that he’s a deeply disturbed man with huge insecurities.
It takes a hell of a lot for me to say something like this – but if McCance were to commit suicide, I wouldn’t feel a thing. He’s already caused damage beyond repair with his ignorant comments. I hope his foolish words haunt him for a long time.
I feel sorry for his wife and children who are paying for this piece of shit’s comments.
hate speech??. so now what you r getting is hate speech??and what did you think you were spewing out before that?love and universal brotherhood??
