A conservative podcast host posted a video of Sheriff Chuck Wright talking about South Carolina’s so-called bathroom bill.Dimsdale Debate posted the video of Wright speaking that was recorded last Thursday at the Greenville-Spartanburg Republican Women’s meeting at the Pelham-Batesville Fire DepartmentWright, who was in casual clothes and speaking off the cuff, drew laughter from listeners who appeared to support his stance on the bill proposed in South Carolina that would limit use the use of public bathrooms by gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals to that of their birth gender. (More on proposed bill)“I’ll be honest with you, I don’t even know why there’s an issue about which bathroom to use," he said. "Because if you are a guy and you go into bathroom with my wife, I’m gonna make the news -- I know there’s three cameras rolling -- I’m gonna whip your tail if you go in there with my wife while she’s trying to use the bathroom, or my granddaughter. That is bologna.“Let me tell you something. I don’t dislike any people at all. Sin is sin, I don’t care what it is. It ain’t my job to judge you. I love people. People have those issues. People have things. It’s my job to set a better example and lead them in the right direction because, you know, gay people are people too. I’m not into this making people feel bad about themselves because they made bad life choices. I make bad life choices. I don’t think my sin is no different from their sin because if you read the Bible, all of it’s bad.“I didn’t come to preach, but I just want to let you know, I don’t dislike gay people. I’ve got a cousin, and he told me after my aunt passed, he said, ‘Well, I’m coming out of the closet,’ and I was like, ‘Dude, there ain’t been a door on that closet it twenty years.’ He said, ‘But you always hug me and tell me you love me.’ And I said, ‘That’s because I do.’ I do.“So, I don’t really understand why there’s an issue in any legislation, or state senators or whatever gotta make that stuff. I mean, the men’s room is for the men. The girl’s room is for the girls. We were taught the symbol when we were little and we couldn’t read. Wearing a dress is supposed to be a chick. Supposed to anyway. Unless you’re raising money for something. Listen, I’ve dressed up like a girl to raise money for under-privileged kids. But I was the only one who didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t shave. I tried to look like a man dressed up like a chick.”To watch the full video on mobile devices, click here.38986428
