Sam Wilson is the Vice President of the Sussex County Council and is pretty het up over the defeat of the Bible Study course at Cape Henlopen School District. Het up enough to have taken to the airwaves (WGMD Delaware 105.9 – don’t know who this host is) to tell listeners far and wide that he was plenty disturbed over the 3-3 vote. According to him, at least one of the Cape Henlopen Board members is a *gasp* — lesbian! And (according to Wilson) lesbians are “not strong on the bible”. He seems to think that said lesbian(s) had too much influence over the vote. But thank goodness there is western Sussex to hold strong on the bible and morals, because I think that eastern Sussex doesn’t have time to demand that their neighbors “Show Us Your Bibles!” — since they are too busy tending to their own lives (and getting reservations to all of the good restaurants). Take a listen (approx 4 minutes):

Really? This is a public official who gets his sour grapes on by spinning up a lesbian conspiracy theory. This is a REPUBLICAN public official spinning up a conspiracy theory, so I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised. But if this kind of thing is the face of the GOP rebuilding in Delaware, well, all I can say is you better be sure there is enough popcorn for ALL of us. I don’t care if it *is* Sussex County, you won’t be doing much building with your public officials leaning in with this kind of bigotry.
