This school board vice president in a town 85 or so miles from Little Rock, Arkansas decided to use Facebook as his vehicle to bitch about having to wear purple in commemoration of the gay youngsters who killed themselves due to bullying.

There are screencaps of his Facebook comments posted on the link above, but they go:

Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed therselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE.


No because being a fag doesnt give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live their lives. They dont bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it.


I would disown my kids if they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone.


The man writes like a 4chan troll, which actually made me think someone had hacked into his account and wrote these things. But, I guess, he really did write this bigotry. He went on Anderson Cooper to "apologize."



This guy ducks all of the questions. He pretty much agrees that he was caught saying the "wrong" things, but he doesn't deny BELIEVING what he said.

What douche throws a fit over having to wear purple?

A family who lost a child to suicide over bullying reacts:


BONUS: Immediately after the "apology," a reporter got on him to ask the question I was curious about:


I realize that someone is not going to learn love, acceptance, and gay tolerance over night, but this is such a ridiculous farce.

Wow, that guy is so gay

Honestly, Gay hate speeches these days need to just fucking go away. This is 2010 people, there is no such thing as Niggers, Kikes, Crackers, Gooks, Queers, or faggots. We are all humans in this world. Race, gender, sex, age, and sexuality is no ones business but your own. If you feel so damned inclined to go out of your way to preach hate speech about someone due to the color of their skin or who they fuck at night. You really need to fuck off yourself.

You see a person use "thereselves" in a sentence more than once, and you already wonder how he got on the schoolboard to begin with. I was wondering how dumb his opponent was. Then I heard that he ran unopposed.

These poor kids in Arkansas.

My squad leader and I had a debate over this issue. Of course being the person I am, I told him how tired I was of the "It Gets Better" stuff. I told him that YOU make it better with YOUR actions. I did not see these suicides as a bigot thing. I just saw them as a "fuck you" to all of the things they could be. We even talked about this stuff because it was on AFN. He compared me to that guy. I was pissed of course.

Seriously though, to have a thought process like that you have to be from Tennessee or Kentucky. =P

People are stuck to their own opinion. Doesn't mean that they should show it.

What stinks for me, being right around Little Rock, is that we're going to to get labeled as right-wing extremists over this BS when a lot of people around here may have somewhat similar conservative values but aren't exceptionally fundamentalist about them like this canned spiel.

And, of course, the media is JUST fine about eating some of that up and making it look like all people around here think like that. Can't do that with normal people - isn't newsworthy - but it's easy to generalize by state with the media doing things the way they do these days and living in an era of political correctness.

I don't think anyone on this board saw this story and shook their heads about those dang Arkansasians (is that what you're called? Sorry, I don't know). It's shocking that someone who manages the goings-on of a school district (maybe just a school?) would have such notions and voice them in such a hateful way.

Obviously, with this being the United States, he has the right to say and think and feel whatever way he chooses, BUT that doesn't stop the rest of us who have the right to speak out and think and feel that he's an asshole and should step down from his position.

We mean no offense toward the people of Arkansas, nor do we think everyone in that state (or region of the country, for that matter) all think the same way. So yeah. Sorry this guy is in your state?

Naw, I kinda figured you guys weren't dissing Arkansas or anything, but anything like this does get the talk of 'extreme wingnuts' and 'lol the south' going in a lot of dumb people's opinions again.

And I'm originally from Illinois so I get to hear both sides of it often enough.

Heh, yeah. I'm from California and we have all kinds with raging extremes in every which direction and not just left and right. Most other states think we're all liberal and crazy. I guess, in a certain sense, depending on what part of the state you wander to, they might be right.

But then again, we've also got counties that were founded by white supremacists.


EDIT: Awwwright, this was my 6666th post.

You wanna talk white supremacists. You should go to South Carolina. Very VERY racist there.

I'm from the south. 90% of us are super religious and hate the gays. Thankfully I am a part of the 10% who really do not care.

Not to, you know, actually be a mod for once, but can we actually post a bit more than that?

Thank you.


Anyway, as of today, McCance has officially been recognized by the other board members as resigned. His single-paragraph letter of resignation can be found here.

I guess it needed to be acknowledged by the other schoolboard members or he needed a letter?

I figure the Anderson Cooper interview only was only him saying that he will resign and that he was resigning right at that moment.

"I am a better person today than I was a week ago I promise you."

Sounds like he got dumped by his girlfriend and he wrote her a little note in homeroom asking her to take him back.

George Takei put up a video commenting on this issue:


I can't believe they made that "It gets better" thing a theme song for the Trevor Project.

I. FUCKING. CALLED. IT!

Every politician, every damn human on this planet who wishes ill on this planet (Wishes ill on Gay children) always turns up Gay.

I should have posted this sooner. But it always fucking happens: This man is gonna end up coming out of the closet. It's a science.

Hell a pastor even came out reciently. But who cares about that? This douchbag has enough media attention on him that when he is caught with the same sex he is gonna feel like a crock of fucking shit.

E- PS, and I just made a quote: "I am gonna facebook the shit out of that video"

Bitmap out!

Well, he hasn't come out ... yet. Sulu was just insinuating that it's only a matter of time.
