Greg Gutfeld: I'm Opening Gay Bar Next To Mosque

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld has an interesting response to the Ground Zero mosque: he's opening a gay bar nearby.

The "RedEye" host wrote on his blog Monday that he's "planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men."

"As an American, I believe they have every right to build the mosque - after all, if they buy the land and they follow the law - who can stop them?" he wrote. "Which is, why, in the spirit of outreach, I've decided to do the same thing."

Gutfeld insists "this is not a joke," and is soliciting investors for the project, which he says will occupy an "available commercial space" next to the planned mosque.

"As you know, the Muslim faith doesn't look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I'm building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world," he wrote, adding that he'll have an entire Islam-friendly floor that serves non-alcoholic drinks.

HotAir reports that Gutfeld is "quite serious."

Well then they shouldn't have attacked us on 9/11 and made me spill my cosmo.

*two snaps up in a z formation*

 

[derder]

That is fucking awesome

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

I approve of both projects.

 

[ultron87]

That'll show them. . .? I guess?

He's probably always dreamed of opening a Gay Bar and now finally has the opportunity since this will be viewed as trolling.

 

[Rorschach]

"We'll send the gays at them! That'll show 'em!"

 

[Talon]

This is a curious response.

 

[Kinitari]

Cool, is it weird that a part of me (even though I've spent the last few days defending this Community center w/ a mosque in it) really wants to see Muslims throw down against some gay people? I guess I romanticizing it in my head, but in my head it involves a dance off.

 

[Rapstah]

Good. I'd love to see his reaction if everyone said "sure, that's only fair, go ahead".

They just need a Messianic Jewish church in the middle of all this and it'll be one of the greatest attractions in New York City.

Reminds me of the South Park 300 episode where it was Lesbians vs. Persians.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

:lol

"We'll send the gays at them! That'll show 'em!"

Exactly what I thought of!

 

[way more]

I guess we should let capitalism go unburdened here. All that money spent on construction, employees, and amenities will sure show them when it closes down!

[JambiBum]

Gutfield is probably the only good thing that comes from Fox News.

 

[lunarworks]

Wow @ FOX News playing "Which do I hate more?"

It's like a vegetarian eating a steak just to spite vegans. (Hint: the vegetarian secretly has a taste for steak.)

 

[Numpt3]

Brilliant :lol

 

[Eteric Rice]

Trolls trolling trolls?

 

[The Lamonster]

This is amazing. Who would have expected it from a conservative un-funny talk show host

 

[Davidion]

That sounds...perfectly fine to me.

It's about time that boring ass block had some fun.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

"Send in the gays!"

 

[pakkit]

Trolls trolling trolls?

How is a Mosque in New York City trolling? It's not even that close to ground zero if you check the plans.

 

[Rentahamster]

Wee, tolerance for everybody!

 

[Veidt]

This is a win win situation for liberals.

 

[scorcho]

Because I'm sure many homosexuals will frequent a bar run by gay-hating conservatives to be used as pawns against Muslims.

I'd love to see investor money roll in and the bar completely bomb.

 

[Operations]

I fully endorse this troll.

 

[badcrumble]

As a gay man I don't particularly appreciate this pit-one-minority-against-the-other bullshit.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Figured I add this, Gutfeld was looking for a response from the Mosque Organizers. Well, he apparently just got one:

.@greggutfeld You're free to open whatever you like. If you won't consider the sensibilities of Muslims, you're not going to build dialog

 

[TheKingsCrown]

:lol :lol

Let's create a circle of tolerance over there. Jewish, Christian, and Transgender entities bring it! Also let's have an Atheist center and Satan's corner.

 

[harSon]

I can't say that I'm too thrilled with someone using Gays as some kind of counter attack. I'm not gay but if I were, I'd imagine something like this would be incredibly offensive.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Wow @ FOX News playing "Which do I hate more?"

I know, right? I was baffled at this! I bet it cause a mindblown to some people at Fox news.

 

[Eteric Rice]

How is a Mosque in New York City trolling? It's not even that close to ground zero if you check the plans.

Hence the question mark, since I really haven't kept up with it.

But I have to say, epic trolling on Gutfeld's part.

 

[scorcho]

As a gay man I don't particularly appreciate this pit-one-minority-against-the-other bullshit.

It's almost akin to colonialists used to 'divide and conquer' a population by pitting one ethnic group/sect against the other.

This is bound to fail, but it's quite amazing to watch how stupider conservatives get over this community center.

 

[LosDaddie]

I fully support this. I'm all for conservatives inversting in near-guaranteed failures.

 

[Eteric Rice]

:lol :lol

Let's create a circle of tolerance over there. Jewish, Christian, and Transgender entities bring it! Also let's have an Atheist center and Satan's corner.

We can put a barrier around it, connect some electric wires and power three states for 163 years.

We could run cities off of pure hate. :O

 

[Kinitari]

I see a lot of Republicans coming out to support this movement. There will be many a middle-aged politicians driving their 18 year old nephews to this club.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I loves me some hot gay arabs

I thought it was you-know-who for a second. Greatness Gone was perma'd, wasn't he?

 

[Tom_Cody]

Wow, this made my day.

 

[jon bones]

that's actually a good idea

 

[FairyD]

Now protesters can protest both places at the same time.

 

[Maleficence]

I can't say that I'm too thrilled with someone using Gays as some kind of counter attack. I'm not gay but if I were, I'd imagine something like this would be incredibly offensive.

Yeah, seriously. I'm muslim and have no problems at all with a gay bar near a mosque, but creating it in response to a completely innocent multi-faith cultural centre being created because of some stupid bigotry should not be treated with respect.

 

[Atramental]

I see a lot of Republicans coming out to support this movement. There will be many a middle-aged politicians driving their 18 year old nephews to this club.

My thoughts exactly. :lol

 

[game-boi]

Trolls trolling trolls?

Exactly my thoughts. Anyone believing otherwise should look back at Gutfeld's past interactions with the gay and trans communities.

 

[Rentahamster]

I thought it was you-know-who for a second. Greatness Gone was perma'd, wasn't he?

Yeah, he was, unfortunately. I miss his antics. Crushed, too. And fistfull.

Oh well.

 

[i_am_ben]

I thought it was you-know-who for a second. Greatness Gone was perma'd, wasn't he?

yeah he's long gone. This avatars just left over from a gaygaf joke where a few of us replaced our avatars with greatness gone's

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Figured I add this, Gutfeld was looking for a response from the Mosque Organizers. Well, he apparently just got one:

What sensibilities are they talking about?

 

[pakkit]

Reading Greg's twitter, he just sounds like an ass.

 

[WedgeX]

I see a lot of Republicans coming out to support this movement. There will be many a middle-aged politicians driving their 18 year old nephews to this club.

So it is catering to some republican interests! We should have guessed.

:lol
