Bathroom Bill Advocate Dan Forest Ridiculously Claims “I have plenty of friends from the LGBT community”
In an appearance on a local radio program last Tuesday, North Carolina Republican Dan Forest claimed that he had “plenty of friends from the LGBT community,” despite his lengthy record as an anti-LGBT lawmaker in N.C., including past support of a bill that would have banned people who are transgender from using the bathroom of their choice.
"And I have plenty of friends from the LGBT community,” Forest said on WUNC Radio on Nov. 12. “And so reaching out is certainly a two-way street there. Nobody's reached out to me and said how can we help. But there's never been an antagonistic attitude there. There's never been a negative word spoken. So some people may say that, but they'd never find anything that I've said."
