Huckabee resigns from country music board over his "grossly offensive" anti-LGBT views
Daily Mail ^ | 3-01-2018

Posted on 03/01/2018 7:28:59 PM PST by ZagFan

Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has resigned from the board for the Country Music Association Foundation, one day after he was appointed the position.

Within 24 hours, Huckabee's appointment faced harsh criticism with a prominent artist manager sending a letter to the foundation calling Huckabee's election 'grossly offensive' due to his political opinions and associations with the National Rifle Association.

'Huckabee speaks of the sort of things that would suggest my family is morally beneath his and uses language that has a profoundly negative impact upon young people all across this country,' Owen wrote.

Owen and his husband have one child and are expecting more, but Owen said that Huckabee has made it clear that his family is not welcome.

'Not to mention how harmful and damaging his deep involvement with the NRA is. What a shameful choice.'

Ah yes, “tolerance” rears its ugly face again.

Things country music songs aren’t about:

1) My same-sex partner just left me
2) My Prius won’t start
3) My cat ran away
4) There’s no more Zima left in my fridge

Who says anyone disgusted by depravity should do a damn thing about their opinions?

Homo-sex is basically revolting, a natural revulsion.

I was of the impression that most country singers and their fans are conservative, except for k. d. lang and the Dixie Chicks. Therefore Huckabee’s stand on these issues shouldn’t matter to them, and may even be a plus.

He and his husband are 'expecting'.

How does that work?

The disease-ridden child-molesting whackjobs shouldn't be allowed anywhere near children.

Looks like the queers are infiltrating yet another American institution, with the intention of discrediting and destroying it.

Here's a country music fan who is okay with LGBT. In fact he demands it.

Country Music is shit.

I'd like to agree with you but.....OK, I do agree with you.

The only thing wrong with Country, is that I can hear it.
