Alabama Mayor Calls for Killing LGBTQ People in Facebook Post

An Alabama mayor has posted comments on Facebook about killing LGBTQ people, then tried to deny the post was his, but finally admitted it.

Carbon Hill Mayor Mark Chambers posted a graphic that read, “We live in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights and socialists lecture us on economics.” It has now been removed, but Birmingham TV station WBRC captured a screen shot.

These people are the heart and soul of the Republican Party, billionaires and goobers notwithstanding. There is a reason that the local aristocracy was the main target of the French Revolution. Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and other high profile types lost their heads, to be sure, but it was the hereditary bosses out in the provinces who contributed the real numbers to Madame Guillotine.
