Karen Handel Is A Closeminded Homophobic Bigoted Asshat

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel doesn't like The Gays. Because. She said so!

Here are a few excerpts from an interview with a local TV station Karen I-Can't-Handel-Gay-People:

Question: Frequently, folks in the Legislature kind of threaten to — there are always rumblings in the Legislature that they may outlaw gay adoptions. You’re against gay adoption.
Karen Handel: I am against gay adoption. But remember — I mean, if there is legislation on that, certainly I will follow that and look at it. But in the end, ultimately courts are going to be the ones to have to make the decision on that and it’s always in the best interests of the child. Do I think that gay parents is in the best interest of the child? No. But we do have our court system that deals with many and most of those issues.

Question: Would you favor outlawing gay adoptions?
Karen Handel: Yeah, I would consider that, absolutely.

Question: Do you know any gay couples with children?
Karen Handel: Not that I’m aware of.

Question: So you think gay couples are less qualified to function as parents than straight couples?
Karen Handel: I think that for a child to be in a household — in a family in a household with a situation where the parents are not married, as in one man and one woman, is not the best household for a child.

Question: Is it better or worse than a single parent household?
Karen Handel: Doug, I’m really trying to be straightforward with you but I’m not going to debate all the nuances. I’ve made it abundantly clear that I think that marriage is between a man and a woman. And that’s what I believe, and I don’t know what more you would like me to add to that.

Question: I guess I want to know why you think gay parents aren’t as legitimate as heterosexual parents.
Karen Handel: Because I don’t.

There's your answer: she's simply a homophobic, bigoted, right-wing, religious zealot, fucktard.

Because I said so!
