Giffords' Heroic Intern Hit With Anti-Gay Smear Campaign



Daniel Hernandez Jr., the heroic former intern who was credited with helping save former Rep. Gabby Gifford's (D-AZ) life when she was shot in 2011 near Tucson, Ariz., is now facing an anti-gay smear campaign related to an effort to recall him from a local school board.

Hernandez was elected last year to the board of Tucson's Sunnyside Unified School District. Since then, supporters of the board's president have launched a recall campaign against him. Hernandez told the Huffington Post in a story published late Monday that parents have alerted him to flyers that attacked Hernandez for being gay and for supporting gun control.

He's lesbian, gay, bi and transgender?

He's a member of the LGBT community, but that wouldn't fit on the flyer.

Oh well, at least it didn't say "f*gg*t".
