Utah Lawmaker Chris Buttars Says LGBT People are America’s “Greatest Threat”

America is currently facing the worst economy in 80 years, widespread layoffs, the crumbling of financial institutions, multiple bailout and stimulus packages for companies and American families, a meltdown in the auto industry and millions of people at risk of losing their homes.

However, none of the crises we face as a country come close to being America’s “greatest threat.” According to Utah State Sen. Chris Buttars, America’s greatest threat is the LGBT community.

Buttars has publicly made several hate-filled, discriminatory remarks against the LGBT community, such as:

  • Lesbian and gay relationships are abominations.
  • LGBT people lack morals.
  • Thanks to them we are, “moving toward a society that has no morals.”
  • He refers to LGBT people as “the meanest buggers I’ve ever seen.”
  • LGBT people are “destroying the constitution.”
  • Their “number one goal is to proselytize to youth” and use schools as “a recruiting station.”
  • They will “destroy the foundation of American society… In my mind, it is the beginning of the end.”

Not only has Buttars not apologized for one disgusting remark he has made, he clearly takes pride in his mindset saying that he has “killed” every piece of pro-equality legislation in Utah for eight years.

Buttars is perhaps the worst, if not then the most outspoken and unapologetic in his outrageous hate speech and if you believe that Sen. Buttars should be held accountable for his word vomit, write to Utah’s Senate President and tell him to denounce Buttars’ remarks.

    That's simply obscene. It's like Falwell and Robertson, three days after 9/11, blaming it on gays and lesbians and feminists. What evil, evil people.

  10. Things that make you go hmm….

  11. It is a tragedy when our elected officials resort to irrational fears as a tactic of governance or policy making. One of my favorite books is “A Distant Mirror: the Calamitous 14thg Century” by the late historian Barbara Tuchman. There are so many parallels one can draw between those late Medieval times to our current challenges. During the height of the Black Death, the plague brought to continental Europe by fleas piggybacking on rats, mobs attacked Jews when people of Buttars' ilk rallied them into a frenzy of bloodletting. They wanted to give death a face rather than face up to an abstract that had no foothold for political or moral gain. It's a sad fact of human nature, there is the tendency to humanize evil.
