Mecklenburg County Commissioner's homophobic remark caught on tape

After Mecklenburg County North Carolina County Commissioner Vilma Leake (D) made an impassioned speech about her son dying of AIDS, Bill James (Republican) leans over and whispered a homophobic comment.

James: "Your son was a homo, really?"

Leake: "I'm going to hit you, don't talk about my son that way."

After denying he made the comment, Bill James is refusing to apologize to Miss Leake for his insensitive remarks.

Thanks for the posting. I wish James's comment were "amplified" so it's easier to understand.

@tgillspy1 that's funny, judging others and claiming to know about their sins is warned against much more in the bible. But then you will pick and choose won't you? You are wasting your life with your imaginary friend in the sky.

He is a dinosaur, a fossil from an era way before back in the 20th century...

This POS pushes every gross, hateful lie about gay life imaginable:

"A lifestyle where one of their past times is buying gerbils and hamsters from the pet store and cramming them up their rears in an activity called felching? A group of people who like to urinate on their partners and call them "golden showers"? Where one of the honored members of the Gay Alliance is an organization called the "Man-Boy Love Association" that promotes sex with underage boys? "

Absolutely disgraceful.

He thinks gays just all up and die from AIDS. Out of choice, too.

Can't tell why "homo" is insulting.

Play dumb. Keep playing dumb. Everyone hates an intellectual.
