S.C. Congressional Candidate: Beware of Gay 'Gremlins'

[William769]

Apparently LGBT people shouldn’t get wet, be exposed to bright light, or eat after midnight — after all, we’re gremlins, at least in the opinion of a South Carolina congressional candidate.

For those not familiar with the 1984 movie Gremlins, those are the factors that turned cuddly little creatures into destructive monsters, and Republican candidate Anthony Culler made a reference to the film in an antigay Facebook diatribe he posted last week and followed up with a Facebook video yesterday, in a strategy that has proved off-putting even to the state's Republican Party.

“If you believe in traditional families and that marriage is defined as an institution between one man and one woman then I ask that you start acting like it and START VOTING like it!” Culler said in the original post October 14. “Do not buy the ‘cuteness’ and ‘What will it hurt?’ arguments whispered in your ears and marketed to our children. Same-sex couples that seek to destroy our way of life and the institution of marriage are NOT cute and cuddly but rather (for those of you that are old enough to remember the movie), Gremlins that will only destroy our way of life.”

Culler, who also called same-sex marriage “a pestilence,” is challenging gay-friendly, pro-marriage equality incumbent Jim Clyburn, the only Democrat in the South Carolina congressional delegation, for the House seat from the Sixth District, which includes the state capital, Columbia. Culler narrowly won the Republican primary to become the party’s nominee.
