Radio host Linda Harvey of Mission America went on an anti-gay rant during her “Christian” radio show yesterday, warning parents to keep their ******** away from LGBT healthcare professionals. Her implication was that exposing young **** to LGBT people in a medical setting could turn them gay.
Harvey acknowledged that LGBT healthcare professionals “can be certainly competent workers," but she expressed concerns that “their involvement with your ***** during a hospital stay is sure to be an influence ... they are tacking on to their workplace identity one that is highly offensive to many people and can be erroneously influential to ******** who won’t, or shouldn’t, see the whole picture of how this behavior really manifests itself.”
“(Let’s) say your 11-year-old has broken her leg rather badly and needs to be in the hospital a few days, which would you prefer: a nurse who’s proud of her lesbianism, who has rainbow identifiers on her work clothing, or a nurse who does not?” Harvey asked listeners.
Harvey indicated that it was OK to allow openly gay or lesbian doctors and nurses to treat ******** under emergency circumstances. But otherwise she advised parents to “write a letter that you file with your pediatrician that should your ***** ever be hospitalized, you do not want your ***** to be treated or cared for” by an out gay person.
