Confirmed bachelor Stacey “Don’t say gay” Campfield: The lady doth protest too much?

Tennessee state senator Stacey Campfield, the “brains” behind the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, is attempting to explain his ideology…again.

43-year-old Stacey Campfield hasn't met the right lady yet.

On why only heterosexuality should be discussed in schools:

“I just think there are situations where some kids maybe sexually unsecure [sic] in themselves or sexually confused and don’t necessarily know clearly what direction they are. If someone, a person of influence, says maybe you’re gay, maybe you should explore those things — maybe the child, who is young and impressionable, says maybe I am gay.”

On AIDS:

“Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community — it was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall.”

An excerpt from What the Heck is Wrong With Stacey Campfield? may be the most telling…

“Campfield is a family-values conservative who has never married, a fathers’ rights advocate with no children, a professed preservationist who has been cited by the city for property neglect and sued by his tenants…an advocate for education who litters his blog with spelling and grammatical errors, and a legislator who rarely manages to get his own legislation out of committee.”

Quack, quack, Campfield.
