KKK to Floridians: End AIDS by โ€˜bashing gaysโ€

KKK to Floridians: End AIDS by ‘bashing gays”

A group identifying itself as the KKK has distributed flyers in Jacksonville, Florida communities intending to urge people to โ€œsupport gay bashing.โ€

According to the leaflets, doing so will โ€œstop AIDS.โ€

Towards the bottom of the page, it reads: โ€œHomosexual men and their sexual acts are disgusting and inhuman,โ€adding, โ€œban non-white immigration,โ€ โ€œoutlaw Haitians,โ€ and โ€œdeport mud people.โ€

Jimmy Midyette, of the Jacksonville Coalition for Equality, posted one of the fliers to Facebook, writing:

โ€œThese flyers have begun to appear at the homes of LGBT people โ€“ and surely others โ€“ in Jacksonville.

โ€œThis is an unfortunate consequence of our recent success. Both with marriage equality and the progress weโ€™re making on equality in Jacksonville, we sadly can expect the vocal minority to freak out.

โ€œBetween this and the bomb threat made yesterday, our vigilance is required.โ€

Similar fliers were reported in Louisiana last summer, calling for people to โ€œstop AIDSโ€ by slaughtering gays.
