Hey guys, remember the election?

Mostly, I try to forget.

Not the part where the nation rose up in a swell of hope and all that good stuff to elect President Obama (squee!) but the part where it was eight months or more of absolute batshit craziness. Remember that? Remember Sarah Palin? REMEMBER JOE THE PLUMBER WHO WAS NOT REALLY A PLUMBER?

Yeah, me too, unfortunately. Well, via the Huffington Post who took it from the Colorado Independent, who in turn took the original quotes from Christianity Today (what, you’re not a reader?) Joe Wurzelbacher took some time out to talk about how much he’s all for “loving your brother” and all, but not you know, in that faggy way. Also, keep the gays away from his children.

Christianity Today: In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?

Wurzelbacher: At a state level, it’s up to them. I don’t want it to be a federal thing. I personally still think it’s wrong. People don’t understand the dictionary–it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do–what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.

My favorite part is “People don’t understand the dictionary.”

Oh, and so many other things, Joe the Plumber!

You can takepart by checking out the definition of “homophobia.” Just a sneak peak, it includes the word “irrational.”
