Fischer's rhetoric got so outlandish that Costello actually stopped the interview which, of course, triggered Fischer to cry foul calling Costello a member of "the gay gestapo."
To fill you in, last week Fischer went on one of his typical homophobic rampages and started spouting nonsense about the "known health risks" associated with homosexuality.
Costello, like Sweet Brown, ain't got time for that and promptly ended the interview, saying, "I'm going to end this interview right here, because that's just not true.
Today she addressed her interview with Fischer on the air, explaining "Yes, I ended that interview." She then revealed that Fischer personally went after her at a luncheon days after their interview.
Fischer called Costello "the gay gestapo" for "cutting his water off just as soon as he started to talk about the health risks of homosexual behavior."
Costello's response: "Well Mr. Fischer, if that's the definition of 'the gay gestapo,' then I am a proud, card-carrying member."
Baller.
How do you think Costello handled the infamous homophobe, Instincters?
Be it Bryan Fischer, Rick Santorum, or any other spewing so much anti-gay rhetoric, they are a simple case of "thou protest too much".
How do I know this? Because once upon a time, the moment someone mentioned homosexuality to me, I MYSELF would go on tangents explaining how it comes about, and how bad it is, while silently using my talking about it as a way to make myself straight since I fit the said criteria of having an absentee father. Then over time I looked at myself and realized, as much as I talked about it, confronted it, and asked God to let me kill myself if I'm wrong, this "problem" of my attraction to males and NEED to act on it was NOT GOING AWAY. It never went away because this is who I am.
And it's the reason I'm still here 10 years after coming out, and looking forward to more. http://www.tresx-rayvision.com/2012/03/3-31-41.html

I am gay. I've known I was gay since I was 5 years old. So is my sister and two of my cousins. My dad couldn't be more homophobic. He shakes when the subject comes up and can't even say the word gay. Then a year ago he figured out I was gay - his oldest and favorite son. He called me about it - and when I explained it was something that had always been true about me, something changed inside him. He realized that all the homophobic beliefs came out of his own experiences as a kid - when he was bullied by the other kids who believed he was gay. So he spent 70 years of his life denying who he is, blaming others for his failed marriages, and being miserable all the time. Show me a homophobe and you're showing me a closeted gay person.
