'Is Fort Lauderdale Mayor Naugle Responsible for Anti-Gay Hate?'

From TowleRoad.

Two ugly attacks on gay men, one fatal, have occurred in Fort Lauderdale in the last week. . . .

Naugle has been publicly demonizing gays for months. In July, Naugle proposed installing a timed, $250,000 robotic toilet in Fort Lauderdale public restrooms. Naugle, who claims he uses the word "homosexuals" to describe gay men rather than "gay" because gay people "are unhappy," has said that an added plus to having the toilets is that they would keep gay people from using the facilities. Last August, Naugle stood with right-wing religious leaders and held a news conference where the Rev. O'Neal Dozier said "We want the homosexual community to know that we love them and that God loves them also. But God hates the act of homosexuality." . . .
