Conservatives panic: ‘Lesbian and transgender hillbillies’ are coming to take over red states

[DonViejo]

Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing conservatives have found what they believe is a plot by the Obama administration to infiltrate rural communities with “lesbian and transgender hillbillies” who will turn formerly Republican strongholds into Democratic majorities.

Media Matters reported Saturday on the conservative media’s reaction to the 15th annual Nationwide LGBT Rural Summit, which was held at Drake University in Des Moines, IA on Aug. 18.

The event was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Center for Lesbian Rights and is intended as a way for LGBT people living in rural areas to connect, network and share resources.

The right-wing freakout over the summit began at conservative website The College Fix, which mocked the summit, complained that it was a waste of tax money and denied that LGBT people living in rural areas might face any special hurdles. By August 16, the Washington Free Beacon picked up the story, wailing that the summit will enable “lesbian and transgender hillbillies how to get subsidies from the government.”

1. They spelled 'Latinos' wrong.

Latinos being the ones who will turn red states blue within 20 years.

2. What about gay men?

I would enjoy texting an old buddy of mine and tell him that I am onto his plot to take over Kentucky, LOL.

4. Oh conservatives have been onto the gay agenda for years

They are just now learning about the super secret lesbian and transgender agendas. You know, being treated like the regular normal people they are.

5. It's too late...

Living in rural Idaho I can tell you their concern is about two decades too late... There is already a surprisingly large rural LGBT community living under the radar here in arguably the most conservative state in the union.
