Crackpot Radio Host Declares ‘I Love Black Males’ as Reason for Banning Homosexuality
There’s a paleoconservative extremist on the radio who’s very likely the dictionary definition of a wingnut. His name is Bryan Fischer, a director for issues analysis the American Family Association (yes, “analysis” is part of his job title), and he’s gaining quite a bit of visibility.
Yesterday, on National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, Fischer ran face-first into both homophobia and racism with an epic rant about how, yes, if you support LGBT rights, you hate black people. Via Right Wing Watch, here’s what Fischer said:
FISCHER: Black males are the leading victims of HIV/AIDS in our culture. […] Let me put it bluntly.

From the Bryan Fischer Greatest Hits, he once said it’s a bad idea to give welfare assistance to African-Americans because they “rut like rabbits.” There was also that time when he said President Obama isn’t a “real black man.” Oh, and the president is also a “christophobic bigot.”
But he loves African-American men… [CONTINUE READING HERE]
