Idiot of the Week: Missouri State Congressman Claims Gay People Are "not human"

Believe it or not, there is an American congressman who genuinely does not understand the definition of human being. He basically thinks gay people are "not human."
How do these fools get elected?

In Missouri, citizens can legally be discriminated against based on their sexual orientation. On May 8, state legislators attempted to pass an amendment banning sexual-orientation-based prejudice when Brattin expressed his concern over the proposal.


"When you look at the tenets of religion, of the Bible, of the Quran, of other religions, there is a distinction between homosexuality and just being a human being," Brattin told the House floor. According to The Kansas City Star , Brattin has yet to clarify his statement, although it aligns with his previous push for teaching creationism in public schools.
