Five Dumbass Antigay Activists Who Unintentionally Helped Our Cause This Year

Governor Bobby Jindal

 Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself. This political truism certainly applies to some of our own worst enemies, many of whom had awful, self-inflected wounds in 2015. And the world took note, punishing them by heaping loses upon them.

Check out the five anti gay activists whose over-the-top shenanigans actually helped advance the LGBTQ cause…

Oh, how the mighty of Louisiana have fallen.

Failed “religious freedom” fighter Gov. Bobby Jindal’s crappy leadership skills led to his funders finally cutting him off and resulting in his withdrawal from the 2016 presidential race. Now he’s back for a bit in the governor’s office, where his approval ratings have fallen to a historic low of 20 percent. (Ouch!) Even the state’s Republican voters disapprove of their governor, who has slashed education, health care and environmental funding to service the state’s massive deficit, triggered primarily by GOP tax cuts for oil companies and the wealthy.

Meanwhile, the bad bedroom behavior of “family values” politician and admitted prostitute patron Sen. David Vitter resulted in the state just electing a Democrat for governor to replace the aforementioned horrible Jindal. John Bel Edwards is set to take office on January 11, and he’s already pledged to issue an executive order protecting LGBTQ government employees and contractors from workplace discrimination as soon as he gets there.

Jindal and Vitter’s hypo-crazy was too much even for the solidly Republican state voters.

Thanks, fellas!
