Glenn Beck says he’s now afraid he will lose his job. After the resignation of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich over his anti-gay stance on Prop 8, Beck, the former Fox News host who now is the owner of The Blaze website and cable TV network, says he’s unsure if he should call LGBT people “gay,” “queer,” or “homosexual,” and fears a pink slip if he uses the wrong term.
According to Forbes, Glenn Beck makes $90 million a year, more than Donald Trump, Ellen DeGeneres, Lady Gaga, or even Oprah Winfrey.
“It’s being celebrated that somebody who donated a $1000 six years ago has lost their job now,” Beck falsely attacks. Brendan Eich did not “loose his job,” he resigned from the position of CEO. He is not leaving the company he co-founded — he just won’t be its CEO.
“So,” Beck continues, ramping up, “in addition of a ton of outrage by a gay groups and activists over Eich’s donation — by the way I hope that ‘gay’ is currently the accepted term. I don’t know if it’s ‘homosexual,’ I don’t know it’s ‘queer.’ If it was ‘queer’ I feel uncomfortable because it was drummed in my head that ‘queer’ is a slam, and I know now people use ‘queer,’ I don’t know if I’m allowed to use ‘queer’ I don’t know if ‘homosexual’ — it was not supposed to be ‘gay’ because that was a slam. And so everyone was trained use the word ‘homosexual.’
“But now everybody’s being trained that I think, I think the by accepted word is ‘gay’ — I don’t know anymore because you keep changing all the rules depending on how you feel. Or is it is not that you feel that way it’s that these groups are becoming nothing but a terrorist organization that just by changing the language I can lose my job if I say ‘homosexual’ or ‘gay’ or ‘queer’ I could lose my job and so you never know and so you keep everyone in fear. Is that what it is or is it because something is really wrong here?”
Something is definitely wrong, but it’s not over here Mr. Beck.
