This is a tumblr dedicated to the marvelous Rep. Gerald Gay of Casper, Wyo. Gay, a Republican, has distiguished himself as the firebrand of HD 36, proposing legislation like mandating the pledge and placing flags of mandatory size in all Wyoming classrooms. He also wants to ban Sharia law in Wyoming and recognition of out-of-state same-sex marriages.
The final straw came when, during a discussion on an anti-gay bill, Gay rebuked other members of the house for using his last name when describing homosexuals. Using the term "gay" was disrespectful to his last name.
We believe he's disrepectful. When you can't beat them (it's not 2012 yet), join 'em at their level.
Oh, and he really, really hates communist water balloons.
Gerald Gay calls his fellow legislators “pinko’s” for not passing his misguided, North Korea-ish bill regulating the size of American flags in Wyoming classrooms, mandating their presence, and also requiring daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in Wyoming classrooms.
The greatest bigotry ever told
This is Gerald Gay’s response to a gay Wyomingite’s email regarding HB74. This is not a joke. The segment in blockquote format is the section he pasted from the man’s email.

“With the country trying to move forward, but constantly being pulled backwards, I would like ask you a question before you make your vote tomorrow.
Try to think of one of your children, or your grandchildren coming to you to tell you they are gay. Of course you know it will be very difficult for them, because everyone is against them and they will be fighting for rights all of their lives, but, you love them and want only the best for them.
How would you like them to think of you and your vote on this resolution? Cause and effect.”
I appreciate your question. However having the family name “Gay” I look at this issue somewhat differently:
Try explaining to your 7 year-old why the kids in the schoolyard ridicule him for his name and tell nasty jokes that really have nothing to do with him or his lifestyle. Try explaining to a very young child that some people are different and conduct themselves in a manner that societies have taught is abhorrent but in order to gain social acceptance they have adopted a word with a very different meaning in order to make their lifestyle seem more mainstream. A child of that age can’t grasp certain subtle nuances. This would be a very different issue if we still used the words “homosexual” or “sodomite” to describe such choices.
Imagine for a moment the nonsense I hear about this reprobate issue every day of my life. Every member of my family has universally turned its’ back on the use of the family name to describe sodomy. So in answer to your question, I feel confident that none of my descendants will ever come to me and say “I am gay”. And yes, I do wish more people considered “cause and effect” when making the choices they make.
Sincerely,
Gerald Gay
Please, for the love of God, throw him back!
Nah, it’s not okay if you’re named Gay… but only if you’re a bigot. That name is disrespectful to my homosexual friends.

Wait, video arcades still exist? Bitchin’
I love this guy. Not the Gay above, but the gay right here —> Tastes Like Tongue
You’re damn right it is. Any suggestions?
In honor of Valentine’s Day….
Ladies and gentleman, Gerald NotGay summarizes Teabagger hypocrisy by proposing flag size regulation:
House Bill 204, “Patriotism in the classroom,” would require all Wyoming classrooms to display an American flag measuring at least 3 by 5 feet.
“This is an effort to standardize the size of the American flag in classrooms,” [Gerald] Gay said. “Displaying a cupcake flag is more of an insult than anything.”
The bill would also require every classroom to start the day reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and provide for students not wishing to participate to leave the classroom if they wish.
Or in your classroom.
You should follow this. It’s a tumblr dedicated to the most homophobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic member of the Wyoming House. This man has actually stated that banning Sharia law is necessary in keeping with his ideal of legislating via his faith. He also wants to regulate the size of flags in Wyoming classrooms and mandate saying the pledge every morning. Kids who don’t want to are required to leave the room. Finally, he asked members of the Wyoming House to not use the word “gay” to describe homosexuality because it’s disrespectful to his last name.
He’s an all-round asshat.
Yes. Yes he is.
