Basically, the chairman of Macoupin County, Illinois said vile things about queer people and disabled people in one swoop, which is kind of impressive. Specifically, with regard to ANHEUSER-BUSCH's dropping of support for Pride STL, the chairman wrote the following comment:

Now is a great time to do away with Pride. You can be queer, but you don’t need to march in the streets to show off your disability.

The chairman has also posted queerphobic -- and generally lame -- Facebook memes.

i attended and was kind of disappointed by the lack of coverage. But i suppose that i was wrong to expect any coverage of a protest about local politics. zo'o xo'o nai ru'e
