LGBTQ people are mocking the Christian right activist after she claimed those sex practices are strictly gay.
Linda Harvey, the founder of antigay Christian organization Mission: America, has claimed that all oral and anal sex is gay, leading scores of LGBTQ people to mock her remark
In a column for the far-right site Barbwire, Harvey argued that teaching safe sex practices in schools is bad for children and that LGBTQ people are using sex education to corrupt students.
"Let's not forget the deadly contribution of 'LGBTQ' advocates who demand 'inclusive' sex ed --i.e., lessons that outline in detail how kids can engage in anal and oral sex, the sex practices of homosexuals. These lessons often encourage masturbation and pornography use," she wrote. "Outright molestation isn't always the outcome of 'LGBTQ' propaganda, but mental and moral corruption is."
Rather than let a homophobe get them down, LGBTQ people have taken to Twitter to laugh at Harvey's assessment of oral and anal sex as exclusively gay practices.
\u201cThis is cultural appropriation gone too far! Heterosexual kids being taught how to copy our oral and anal sex practices. I urge all gay men to rise up and reclaim our cultural heritage before it's too late \ud83d\ude1c\u201d— Tim O'Rahilly (@Tim O'Rahilly) 1537171949
\u201cIMPORTANT! WE ARE ALL GAY! ALL OF US!\n\nYES, YOU ARE GAY! I AM GAY! WE ARE ALL GAY! (Except this one bitch...)\n\nAnd why is it that all the people who are against blowjobs are the ones you wouldn't want to have blow you in the first place?\nhttps://t.co/3NB29paraT\u201d— Michael (@Michael) 1537256069
\u201c@PinkNews "The sex practice of homosexuals", so, do all queers get to claim copyright on this now? How much are we owed?\u201d— PinkNews (@PinkNews) 1537212012
\u201cYou know technically she\u2019s not wrong. Oral sex is the practice of everyone and gays would fall under everyone in a Venn diagram circle\u201d— Barbara Mastermind Rising (@Barbara Mastermind Rising) 1537229035
\u201cTurns out I'm gay, and have engaged in numerous homosexual acts, just with women https://t.co/9CPjZjztqD\u201d— Bryan Kim (@Bryan Kim) 1537294770
\u201c@DCdebbie Yeah, what straight guy would ever want a blowjob?\u201d— \ud83d\udd25Double Dee\ud83d\udc60\ud83d\udc60 (@\ud83d\udd25Double Dee\ud83d\udc60\ud83d\udc60) 1537261271
Harvey, who has a long record of homophobia, has yet to respond to the uproar, but Mission: America is already designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an active anti-LGBTQ hate group.
In this case, perhaps it's smartest to fight hate with laughter.
