Former South Carolina GOP Executive Director, Todd Kincannon has publicly declared that some Americans should be interned in “camps.” Kincannon went on to refer to a trans person as a “goddamn he-she” and stated that trans people were “disgusting mentally ill weirdos.”

While certainly worded with cruel intent, how does Kincannon’s message of exclusion differ in substance from the stated position of the South Carolina GOP? The South Carolina Republican party is very clear about their views of LGBT people and their stated aims and goals with regard to LGBT people:

We oppose efforts to redefine the marriage unit to accommodate proponents of homosexual “marriages” and oppose any legislation that legally recognizes same-sex marriage, civil unions, or allows such couples to adopt children or provide foster care. Morally and pragmatically, the Party considers homosexuality a lifestyle detrimental to the health and well-being of individuals and therefore opposes its promotion as simply “an alternate lifestyle.” We applaud the state for prohibiting same sex marriage and adoptions, and consider such as detrimental to the peace and tranquility or our state.

We affirm the wonderful differences with which each gender is created and oppose efforts to blur or disregard the uniqueness of male and female genders. Furthermore, we affirm that one’s gender is fixed at birth and that no citizen should be entitled to special treatment or accorded any special benefits not accorded to others of the same birth gender regardless of how they have altered their anatomy or appearance. We oppose federal, state, county, or municipal laws, regulations or ordinances that require a person to be granted special rights or protections based on his or her “perceived” gender identity.

- South Carolina Republican Platform, pp 13 – 14

While the South Carolina GOP (SCGOP) won’t go as far as interning specific classes of American citizens, it clearly favors a society in which some classes of law-abiding American citizens are favored over others. It’s clear that SCGOP believes that only select groups of American citizens should have access to 14th amendment constitutional rights. In this way Kincannon and SCGOP are in agreement: full constitutional rights are the domain of cisgender heterosexual Americans only; LGBT Americans are immoral and unpragmatic in their aspirations for equality as American citizens.

So why dose LA have so few hurricanes? Proof that you lie and it actually causes earthquakes!

**Dreadclaw69**

It was always amazing hearing people in Ireland pronounce quiche as "quickie", especially when ordering it in a restaurant

**Frazzled**

Well LA and SF both have earthquakes and massive traffic. They must also cause massive traffic. And roach coach burritoes.

Man goes into a restaurant asks the waitress "can I have a quickie?"
She slaps him and walks off.
Man on the next table leans over and says 'dude, it's pronounced quiche"

No jokes like the old ones

And On topic
I've never thought about whether I'm for or against gay marriage - I just know I don't want to be on this guy's side.
He could tell me the sun was yellow and I'd go stand in the sun is blue camp cos the guys such a complete

Those camps may be tastefully decorated, but if all they have to eat is quiche and salmonella burritoes then count me out.

My attitude is that if two gay people want to get married then go for it.

**Soladrin**

I'm against marriage.

For gay marriage are the cakes awesome, or fabulous?

I'll put up with bad cake if there is a free bar, but that is where I draw the line. Awesome cake or free bar. People should not be aloud to get married without at least one, preferably both, of these. It is a crime against nature I tell you

**Frazzled**

Our wedding had two awesomely awesome cakes and a free bar. Because I am a river to my people!

**Soladrin**

A river of alcohol.

Believe it or not there is a considerably large portion of young people that voted for Romney that feel the exact same way.

Don't be silly. People voted Romney because they hated a Black man being POTUS, hated the poor, etc. etc.

It erodes traditional family values (think the classic 50's image of the stay at home mom and the dad going out to work and earn the money), as we all know, homosexuals are evil and spineless creatures that exist to destroy the good old American way. The real reason is a lot of parents don't want to answer the awkward question when their child asks how come Timmy gets two mommies.

And when this guy said camps, what exactly was he implying there? "Pray away the gay?" Reeducation? Death camps? All I know is the way he says it doesn't imply its summer camp with water skiing, camping, and S'mores.

Either way, I'm cool with trans sexual people as long as they are honest about what they legally are when its important. If you identify as a chick good for you, but if you start hitting on me in the bar and I don't find out you're still legally a man till the pants come off, there's going to be problems.

Maybe that's what happened to this guy?

Because little Timmy has all the luck in the world

I'm not sure a trans-person would agree with you on the legally are when it's important. My buddy is currently pre-transition (FTM) and his drivers license has his male name, says M, etc... but he doesn't quite have the parts. So by the view of the law he's legally a dude, but biologically he's got female parts still...

**MrMoustaffa**

It was mainly a joke. Really the only time I think "legally" it would need to be required is for medical reasons. For example, if you were going to see a doctor, if you have male body parts, you need to tell him, even if you're identifying as a woman. Certain medicines have different side effects depending on gender, and its important that the doctor understands what's going on. But I have a feeling that most would already do that so its probably a non issue.

Which is ironic with the Republicans being the ones bravely leading the charge in the movement to destroy the middle class that made stay at home mom's possible.

Yeah, that creeps me out, to be honest. Just because you feel like you're woman, dress like a woman, and maybe even look like you have parts externally resembling those of a woman, doesn't mean that I want you to wait until after you've come back to my apartment before I find out.

I guess I'm just too small minded for this brave new world though.
