Michigan's Gay-Bashing Assistant Attorney General Is An Unfathomable Idiot
LatestWhen Anderson Cooper is visibly unable to comprehend the absurdity of an interview subject, it is very fun to watch. Last night: Michigan’s assistant attorney general and his obsessive, hate-filled attacks on the University of Michigan’s gay student body president.
A 2002 graduate of the university, Shirvell was also an anti-abortion activist while on campus. There is a lot of raving bigotry afoot, but here’s a good summary of what has taken place on “Chris Armstrong Watch,” a blog Shirvell set up in April to oppose the university’s first openly gay student body president:
Among other things, Shirvell has published blog posts that accuse Armstrong of going back on a campaign promise he made to minority students; engaging in “flagrant sexual promiscuity” with another male member of the student government; sexually seducing and influencing “a previously conservative [male] student” so much so that the student, according to Shirvell, “morphed into a proponent of the radical homosexual agenda;” hosting a gay orgy in his dorm room in October 2009; and trying to recruit incoming first year students “to join the homosexual ‘lifestyle.'”
Shirvell is particularly piqued by Armstrong’s push for gender-neutral housing. He also pickets Armstrong’s house (with a video camera!) and blogs about his friends and his friends’ parents.
