The official has a problem with the LGBT community in general.

Lance Sanderson, an 18-year-old student at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, wanted to bring a same-sex date to the school’s homecoming dance but school officials wouldn’t let him do so. He took his plight to social media and launched a petition in hopes of changing their minds, all to no avail. As a result of his efforts, he was suspended this week because administrators said he brought the school unwanted media attention.

Clark Plunk, a Lakeland commissioner, went after Sanderson on Facebook while deriding the LGBT community as a whole. Here are his posts, typos included, via Towleroad:

I’m told by the alumni the gay kid is looking for publicity. I hate the term gay. It makes them sound like they are happy and ‘Gay’ And they want to call people that criticize them homophobes to make them sound mean. As a whole, gays are mean, cruel spiteful people with an axe to grind…

I would say let the little homo sue all he wants. The alumni of CBHS will meet him dollar for dollar and lawyer for lawyer. This is a threat to our values, our Christian values. Everyone shudders when the homosexuals say the word sue. They are vicious spiteful people.
