Hate Watch: Bradlee Dean calls gays mentally ill

1

Bradlee Dean of the anti-gay ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International, Inc., used his radio show again on Saturday to call gays and lesbian mentally ill — and that was after one of his callers went off about a radio host who “takes it in the butt” and is a “faggot.” Dean’s ministry has drawn the support of prominent Republicans including Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer, and several state legislators.

Steve from Texas called in to the program. “I love the term you use queerifying America,” he says referring to “faggots” while Bradlee Dean laughs then cuts him off. Another caller insinuated that Dean and his sidekick Jake McMillian might be gay. To that Dean said, “Folks you are not dealing with a … you are dealing with a mental issue. I mean this is why it was considered a mental illness before 1973. This is why it was against the law in every state before 1961.”

He continued, “They mock God. They mock you America.”

  1. This isn’t even rational to any degree. It has no validity. He only is furthering his own problem by not facing what the facts are. Bigot!!!
