I bet he does!

So surreal. Only thing I hear when they pull this crap is “I have plenty of [fill in the blank] friends…I just don’t like them.”

Very true. It may be that I can’t imagine being friends with someone who actively despises me, so I doubt any “friendships” lasted long

Nope.

I’d bet $100 he couldn’t name two.

Every racist claims to have Black friends. Now that play has been adopted by the Homophobes too. Wanna bet this guy has Black friends? I’m betting he might even have gay Black friends. A twofer!

Why are gays republicans?

What he meant to say was “I have many friends who are homosexual, and they will remain my friends as long as they don’t get too uppity and expect me to treat them as equals.”

Okay, he would not go to a same sex wedding. How about if a man married a tree?

Are Roy Moore’s homosexual friends the same ones that Mike Huckabee claims to have?

No, no, no, Roy! It’s BLACK.

“I have many friends who are BLACK.”

Someone pulled this on me and I said “Really, I have many friends who are straight, maybe I can introduce my straight friends to your gay friends and we can stand in a room together pretending that there’s a party going on.”

I’m not sure if they were to embarrassed about being called out on their BS or I confused them too much, but they stopped talking after that.

Then he’d definitely have to get some wood. Such a man might be accused of just looking for a piece of ash. I’d watch out for splinters though, those knot holes can be murder. Especially oak. Son of a Beech!

I have figured it out. Roy is queer as a three dollar bill, and is afraid his boyfriend will try to make him get married.

Heh, heh!

You speak truly. Indeed, I find it hard to imagine that someone as vicious as he has any friends at all.

Liked this? No. Loved it.

It is 2015 and this guy is the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court!! It is just too unreal for me to fathom.

38

It’s like this, Roy. You may know a lot of people who are gay, but they’re not your friends.

Seriously? who says that anymore?? “I have homosexual friends”…seriously folks, if this so-called judge has homosexual friends…he would just say “I have GAY friends…” no one who has gay friends says ‘homosexual’. Please if you’re gay and a friend of this poor gentlemen, please speak up now!

I don’t think anyone believes this man has “many friends” that are homosexual. Who are they…and why have they not come forward in support of him? That’s just a bunch of "bearing false witness’. As for the Constitution, it has an “equal protection” clause and because of that most Judges not prejudiced by bigotry rule Gays should get the benefits of it. It seems SCOTUS is about to do that.

Lets stop with all the crap about this little mm,an. He’s a bigot and he uses the Bible to shield that bigotry. His God uber alles crap is schtick. Convenient schtick. But the folks of Alabama empowered him and they deserve him. But guess what Boys? It may be Gays Today…and you can get off on that. But it damn well may be Demon Alcohol tomorrow…and that means your Bud Lite is on the line. In other words…it can happen to you too.
