Utah lawmaker claims he doesn’t ‘mind’ gays, but ‘I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time.’
Earlier this month, the Church of Latter Day Saints made headlines when it threw its support behind a measure in Salt Lake City that barred “landlords and employers from discriminating based on sexuality,” making it the first city in Utah to adopt the gay rights measure. Now, the Mormon Church is backing a similar statewide bill, enlisting the help of a variety of lawmakers to help get it passed. One such lawmaker is Sen. Chris Buttars (R), who, despite his adamant support for an earlier proposition that banned same-sex marriage, does believe that sexual orientation deserves protection from employer and landlord abuse. However, while explaining his opposition to allowing same-sex couples to adopt children, he told the press that while he doesn’t “mind” gays, he doesn’t want them “stuffing it down [his] throat all the time“:
BUTTARS: I meet with the gays here and there. They were in my house two weeks ago. I don’t mind gays. But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time. Certainly not in my kid’s face.
Watch it:
In the past, Buttars has said that gay men and women are “the greatest threat to America going down.” “I believe they will destroy the foundation of the American society,” he said in February. “In my mind, it’s the beginning of the end. … Sodom and Gomorrah was localized. This is worldwide.” Last year, the NAACP called for his resignation because of his comments about a controversial bill: “This baby is black, I’ll tell you,” said Buttars. “This is a dark and ugly thing.”

Complaining about gays ’stuffing it down my throat’…
***shakes head in AWE…***
You CAN’T make stuff this good up…
November 20th, 2009 at 1:05 pmYou are supposed to be teaching your children to cope in the real world.
When you hide reality from them they will fail. See sara palen and abstinance.

He and his kid just have another “preferred” orifice that they would rather have stuffed.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:06 pmI don’t mind gays. But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time. Certainly not in my kid’s face.

Surely Buttars could have found a better way to phrase this?
November 20th, 2009 at 1:06 pm. . . or maybe they’re “givers” rather than “takers”.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:07 pmMy cup runneth over with the innuendos here…
Oh Mr. Buttars
If they’re stuffing it down your throat that’s ok, if you or anyone else is putting it in your kid’s face, then I’m calling social services!!
Also, I’m sick of homophobes always assuming any gay person just cannot wait to land on them like a vampire…as if any gay person would be so inclined to throw themselves on such reptiles in the first place…i DO declare!!
November 20th, 2009 at 1:07 pmI take it he want’s it to be gently slid down his throat, and in a private room away from his wife and kids then? Perhaps he’s looking for a tea room with a nice glory hole?

November 20th, 2009 at 1:10 pmmissmolly he COULD if he werent so much a slave of his subconcious that he doesnt recognize his own HUGE need to get out of the closet. Since his desires have no outlet they spring out. That small quiet voice he fights so hard against takes the only avenue to express itself it can find
November 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pmThe “old fart language” is a temptation for attention and ridicule. However, we can’t lose sight of what he so poorly saying: he doesn’t mind gays if stay quietly in the closet, accepting their non-citizen status. He doesn’t want them petitioning their government, through him as a representative, for grievances about that non-citizen status. That attitude is much more important than the words to attack.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pmThat remark makes its own gravy, so to speak.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pmThis is both hilarious and awesome.
Oddly enough, this is probably the most liberal thing an elected rep from Utah has ever said.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pmMr. Buttars, your freudian slip is showing.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pmI wish some gay man would stuff his fist down this jerkwads throat.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:14 pmPLC, you are of course correct. It is EXACTLY that kind of soft bigotry that more reasonable people tend to accept as valid and is therefore even MORE dangerous. On the other hand…How can you pass up a setup like THAT?
November 20th, 2009 at 1:14 pmOK, I can’t resist the temptation. Your “kid’s” face?? What is he, the model for the movie “The Forty Year Old Virgin”? You’ve got to be old enough for grand- (or even great-grand-) children, aren’t you?

November 20th, 2009 at 1:17 pmAnd, let’s not forget the Utah Boys Ranch and the alleged sexual abuse that went on there.
While Buttars was executive director.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:18 pmMan that’s strange cause it sure sounds like he has the moves down pat. Shove it in his kids face ,whatever!
November 20th, 2009 at 1:18 pmIf Mr. Buttars wouldn’t stick his head in other men’s shorts, he wouldn’t have a stuffing problem.
Have you ever thought of changing your name from Buttars to Butthead?
November 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pmAnd maybe it’s who’s doing the stuffing too…
Perhaps Buttars is just… well… picky…
November 20th, 2009 at 1:21 pmUm, I think I missed something here. I’m assuming everyone here supports equal rights for the gay community. That being said, has anyone had a gay person run up to them screaming “I’M GAY!!!”? Yup, didn’t think so.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:22 pmThis certainly seems like enough reason that I don’t want my tax dollars paying his salary.

Thank you! I have been trying to find previous quotes from Buttars as I was sure I remembered him from somewhere. You answered that.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:24 pmAnd before this jerkwad gets “corn-holed”, he butters it. He is therefore aptly named.

Unnecessary stuffing can cause tears. You don’t have to stuff it if it is well Buttars’d.

November 20th, 2009 at 1:40 pmUh…I don’t think that’s actually the case Mr. Buttars.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:40 pm“Buttars has said that gay men and women are
“the greatest threat to America going down.””
Heh.
Can’t see how…
November 20th, 2009 at 1:41 pmJust another caring compassionate conservative showing his true colors. Why does this sort of thing even phase people any longer? Republicans care not one whit about other humans or their plight. For those creeps its all about me, me, and me.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:41 pmhigh fives, pastcaring!
November 20th, 2009 at 1:42 pm;)
Rather than concentrating on the GOP’s apparent inability to refrain from Freudian comments, it would be a better use of “journalism” to investigate the proposed Utah law and why the Mormon hierarchy supports it. The law is full of loopholes that would be utterly intolerable if applied to any other minority.

I know I shouldn’t be laughing, but this funny as shit.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:45 pmToo many puns, so little time.
And, most all the innuendos have been used, dammit!
That said, why do ugly older Republicans fear teh gays?
As if some homosexual is going to randomly run to his kid and say, “I’m Gay, I’m Proud, and I want my rainbow coalition!”
This mucking foron probably believes that women quiver at their knees when he enters a room.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:46 pmDelusion of grandeur, much?
Great minds and all that noseem!!
November 20th, 2009 at 1:50 pmWhy does his name have to be BUTTars?
November 20th, 2009 at 1:54 pmBUTTARS:
“I meet with the gays here and there.”
In public or private?
“They were in my house two weeks ago.”
Oh, I see, in private.
“But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time. Certainly not in my kid’s face.”
November 20th, 2009 at 1:54 pmI wonder how old his kids are…
Oh please these loons would prefer that they be like foley and sneak around molesting boys. He doesn’t know who’s gay and who’s isn’t gay. They act as if teh gays have some sort of power they use to make people gay. IDIOTS.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:58 pmWow, this guy is nasty…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Buttars
November 20th, 2009 at 2:01 pmOK, OK — we’ve had a lot of fun with Buttars’ unfortunate way of turning a phrase. But I give him points for at least supporting a measure that would bar employers and landlords from discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation, even though he’s an obvious homophobe.
This is a step in the right direction. Now, maybe if he finds that gays exist in his neighborhood and at his workplace, and they aren’t “stuffing” anything down his throat, he will relax a bit.
Why is it that when oppressed people just want equal rights, they are accused of wanting “special” rights? I never have been given an adequate answer to that question.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:02 pm“Butt I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time.”
Butt i’m sure he’s a card-carrying member of the tea baggin’ party!
November 20th, 2009 at 2:05 pmSo, what’s it gonna be Buttairs (aka Mr. Fart)?
Do you want it or don’t ya?
“But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time”, no sometimes it gets “stuffed” somewhere else.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:05 pmWow, follow the link that noseeum posted at #66.
This guy was at the helm of the LDS reform school when the allegations of abuse were filed.
Got Pedophilia, Butthead?
November 20th, 2009 at 2:10 pmNice euphemism “stuffing it down my throat”.
And here I thought all along that Buttars was merely a character on South Park.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:12 pmChris Buttars has evidently been caught buttering. Hence the worries about things getting stuffed down his throat.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:13 pmmissmolly, I’m sorry, he gets nothing from me.
Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is just irony.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:15 pmBUTTARS: I meet with the gays here and there. They were in my house two weeks ago. I don’t mind gays. But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time.
Maybe he prefers teabagging.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:19 pmOn one level I can sympathize with this guy. He has grown up in a repressive and bigoted world that (sadly) is the nature of the one-church world that is Utah. The part that cannot be forgiven is his failure to recognize the nature and insidiousness that mark bigotry.
November 20th, 2009 at 2:20 pmI cannot sympathize with him…he has contributed to making sure his world remains repressive and bigoted…
November 20th, 2009 at 2:26 pmHow does he know he won’t like it?

I think his problem is he thinks he WOULD. That is why it is such a Freudian moment here
November 20th, 2009 at 3:01 pmThis is too ridiculous.
November 20th, 2009 at 3:37 pmWow, I don’t know what to make of that comment. He doesn’t want gays shoving it down his throat all the time. Does that mean it’s okay for them to shove it down his throat part of the time? What is it that they’re shoving down his throat? I shudder to think of the possibilities, but I think it likely that almost all gays would refuse to shove anything down this guy’s throat.
Can we expect a clarification?
November 20th, 2009 at 3:48 pmI don’t mind bigoted, vile, toads but I don’t want them in my government shoving their bigotry down our throats.
November 20th, 2009 at 5:18 pmHe doesn’t have to worry about having it stuffed down his throat all the time unless that is the way he likes it.
November 20th, 2009 at 5:33 pmSo stop hanging out in the stalls at airports, Buttars.
November 20th, 2009 at 6:28 pmI discriminate against right wing activists, greedy Wall Street bankers and brokers, Republicans, NRA members, racists, hateful people, Nazis, conservatives, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, KKK members, jar heads, Bible thumpers, and flag humpers.
November 20th, 2009 at 7:24 pmButtArs(e)?
November 20th, 2009 at 8:13 pmIsn’t that redundant?
1% of the population get way too much attention.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:51 pmSo what are we supposed to think about the Mormon church when it comes to gay rights? They oppose legalizing same-sex marriage, but enact laws to protect gays from discrimination in the work place and in housing. So, is the Mormon church to be praised for its recent support of gays, or condemned for its opposition to gay marriage, or both, or what?

I agree totally!
But, we have to remember that it’s the voters that put these sad, pathetic, and totally self-absorbed Republican politicians in office, and the press decides to follow them around and report the egregious, hate-filled, mysoginistic, sexist, bigoted, anti-gay, anti-American statements.
It’s too bad that the 2% of openly gay Americans, and the other 8% of the closeted gay & bisexual Americans have to have news like this shoved in their faces on a daily basis.
Why do these self-described “c”hristians have to force their lifestyle in everyones faces? Why can’t they keep it to themselves?
