Queer People are Dancing, Spitting, and Pissing on Pat Robertson's Grave

ByHenry Giardina

Today, the gay Internet is more joyful than we’ve seen since perhaps the death of Antonin Scalia. The reason? Well because ding dong, yet another witch is dead. This time, it's none other than religious right pundit Pat Robertson. And folks are absolutely dancing on the anti-gay Baptist minister's grave.

The Queen is dead, but perhaps not gone.

In case anyone needed a refresher, Robertson founded the Christian Broadcasting Network, believed that feminism was the devil and that the September 11th attacks were divinely ordained. So if you’re asking whether or not we’ll miss him, the answer is a resounding hell no!

The reception to Robertson's death has been warm: you might call Twitter's response the definition of "we love to see it."

Nothing says Pride like the death of a proto-Hillsong preacher!

Let's not forget this fabulous tidbit:

Robertson didn't just pave the way for Christians aligning themselves with anti-gay hate: he was the Matt Walsh of his day.

20 years ago, gay marriage bans swept the United States.Pat Robertson was on TV, every major news network, fueling them with his fundamentalist rhetoric.He was the Matt Walsh of that fight.He will not be missed, nor will his replacements in today's war against trans people. pic.twitter.com/0ruiLsE59U

I’m old enough to remember when Pat Robertson said they Haitians were responsible for the 2010 earthquake because they made a devil pact for freedom. It's sweet that he died during Pride. pic.twitter.com/476zrBF8xp

It's kismet, it's bashert: it's everything.

If Pat Robertson didn't want his enemies dancing on his grave he could simply have chosen not to die during Pride Month pic.twitter.com/yy21AJbQ0w
