Self-Hating "Ex-Gay" Nutter Greg Quinlan:
I Was Not A Limp-Wristed Faggot
In a secret recording made at Porno Pete's Hate Academy by spies from Truth Wins Out, PFOX president Greg Quinlan asserts that back when he was still gay, at LEAST he wasn't one of them "limp-wristed faggots." TWO's Wayne Besen writes:
Besen notes that while Quinlan claims to have once worked for the Human Rights Campaign, nobody at the organization can recall his ever having done so.The presentation was packed with misinformation, crude stereotypes and a healthy dose of gay bashing. Quinlan punctuated his sermon by claiming he wasn’t a limp wristed, flaming faggot, even while shining oh-so brightly onstage.
“I wasn’t your flaming faggot, you know. I can say that because I’ve been there and done that. You know, the one’s whose wrists are so limp that when the wind blows they slap themselves in the face. I wasn’t one of them,” Quinlan said, as the small audience chuckled. (8:00—8:13)
This was an interesting observation by Quinlan, given that he describes during his talk how he walked into an Assemblies of God church with bleach blond hair and a mullet. Yes, he sounds like a paragon of masculinity. I’m not sure whether to be offended by his comments or feel sorry for a man who is clearly in denial and deeply ashamed about his gender expression. It is sad that Quinlan can’t accept himself and instead has to resort to bashing people who look and sound exactly like he does.
