“Transgender advocacy are people who believe that their biological sex, male or female, doesn't match what they feel. I'll tell you what Vic, Satan really works through feelings, doesn't he?” LaBarbera said.

“You know, Peter, years and years ago the old fashioned circus used to have a display in some kind of a cage or a display factor that had a 'bearded lady' as a freak,” Eliason said. “Today we don't even have to worry about that, it will be happening in your department stores, it will be happening in the public school, the issue of cross-dressers and transvestites and all of this type of thing certainly is what you're talking about.”

That's what we're still up against.

I have no idea who Robin Roberts or Peter Lababera is but those are some horrible quotes... makes me sick to my stomach. I really and truly hope people like this are extreme outliers and not in anyway representative of the bulk of society.

Robin Roberts is a co-anchor on ABC's Good Morning America. A courageous and gutsy lady. The courage she showed during her recent medical issues is truly inspiring.

Robin Roberts has had a tough few years especially with the cancer. I don't watch GMA but I certainly respect her openness through her illness and recovery. She's a model for so many that cancer can be overcome in your life. Now I respect her even more as she further opens up her life to us! Hooray for her and her partner! It seems that haters and idiots abound and always have but we are who we are in spite of them! Every person of note who declares their true selves to the world makes it better for the next person who is trying to make that same decision!

Another jerk in our media (I have no clue who this person is) with hate, the world is full of them, side step them, reduce them, call them out, their hate is their undoing.

And I should care about what Peter LaBarbera thinks because?

Exactly, we could care less about this person and their views, they suck plain and simple, marginalize haters...

And to the woman that came out, may she enjoy her love....

Congrats to Robin for having the courage to come out, especially given the fact the she's on national tv. That took a lot of guts.

I've never heard of that guy before. If he's not willing to do some research in the subject, instead of blaming "Satan", then I don't care what he thinks. I'm glad his kind are dying off.

[Carolyn Marie]

The fact that media, and sites like this, give that jerk any notice at all, is a success for him. He gets free publicity, which is exactly what he desires. He's a fringe nut with a tiny viewership. It should stay that way.

I offered my well-considered opinion as a comment after the article.

[Guest KimberlyF]

There are real nuts out there with huge mainstream viewerships that are more directly responsible for putting the lives of literally millions of people at risk in the future. This guy is nothing.

Oh so now I am of Satan because I cant feel any other way ?

And I suppose hateful bigotry isnt a satanic feeling, but rather Godly?

Furthermore if it is all about Satan and our "feelings" then why is it such a problem to have breasts and vagina? those clearly arent feelings,they are physical body parts, as if i really wanted a beard to begin with.

Speaking of a "cage or display" THEY are the ones living in one getting paid to be gawked at while peddling their wares, selling their souls for fame,fortune, hatefulness, and bigotry.

I would rather be a crying mess than to fit that normalcy.

The quote was enough for me,I am not going to watch the link.

[Guest Motormouth18]

I added my two cents to the comments as well. My post to Facebook won't go over too well, but that's life.

Realizing to that Satan lives in the hearts and minds of small people like that. They may scream holy but they are not. God has a very special love for me and I return that love. He may have a little more work to do with them. Giggle. Hug. JodyAnn

For me that person really showed his ignorance, grasping at the Freak Shows of many decades ago that are still fresh in his reality. If any of you saw Tod Brownings "Freaks" film (1930's), you just might see this joker as the chicken man the people in that movie made him to be, because he hated anyone different than he and used and abused them.
