Joe the Plumber won the right to face Marcy Kaptur in the race for the seat in Ohio's 9th district.
Which means it's time to remind everyone that Joe the Plumber isn't down with the gays. He made some remarks years ago that made clear his feelings — "I would never let queers near my children," was the exact quote — and he later added fuel to the fire when asked about gay marriage in a Q&A with Christianity Today.
Summary: you don't understand the dictionary, gays can't be around his kids, queer is totally a fine word to use, honky is a bad word, and yeah, he had some gay friends back in the day. Probably also knew a black guy once.
