Former SNL star, current Tea Party member, and noted homophobe Victoria Jackson attended the Democratic National Convention last month armed with her video camera and American flags sticking out of her hair. Walking down the street past a group of gay activists, she says that she was approached by one of them after he recognized her from her recent anti-Glee/anti-gay PR tour in which the forgotten comic was reintroduced to the world, this time as a bible-waving intolerant zealot who now has a heavy interest in politics after “learning” how to vote in for the first time in 2000.
She then filmed her civil conversation with the gay man, who tried his best to appeal to Jackson first with logic and then with compassion. As Jackson pointed out that she thinks that sexuality is a choice. She actually chooses to be straight, she explained. Then she asked him why gay people’s “identity is in their sex life? Why can’t their identity be in Christ?”
