GOP Official Dave Agema Says ‘Sexual Perversion’ Is Ruining America

Dave Agema’s comments about gay people may be common, but he recently said that gay people are perverted and ruining America, which shows that they are still offensive.

In a post on Facebook on Friday, the former state representative from Michigan wrote, “The most important thing in a country is its families. Sexual sin destroys a country. It’s okay because it’s politically correct. Our politicians keep it going when they stay quiet out of fear.”

Agema’s comment had a link to an article on the website of conservative Rich Swier. The article used a definition from Urban Dictionary to say that gay people who fight for their rights are attacking and “stupidifying” straight people into agreeing with them.

Agema has often said things that are hurtful and unfair about LGBT people. Progress Michigan, a liberal group, criticised his most recent comments because he might become lieutenant governor in the future, though this is not very likely. Agema has said that he is thinking about running for office, but there is tension within his own party and there are calls for him to quit his current job.

Progress Michigan Executive Director Lonnie Scott said in a statement, “Because Dave Agema could be a possible running mate for [Republican Gov. Rick Snyder’s] reelection campaign, the governor should immediately condemn Agema’s comments and call for him to publicly apologise for this latest comment and the many other racist things he has said over the years.” “[Agema’s] bad behaviour has no place in politics or, for that matter, anywhere in Michigan.”

Last year, Snyder’s team called Agema’s comments extreme and unfair after he said that gay people support public health care because they die younger and that gay people at a previous job lied to their insurance company to get health care for AIDS patients. Agema was asked to leave his job by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus in January.

Agema has also said bad things about Muslims and compared the “lifestyle of homosexuals” to drinking.

At an event in February, he said, “Homosexuals and LGBT groups have war rooms, real war rooms, for when someone tries to fight against their way of life.”
