YouTube musician calls gays an ‘abomination’, celebrates Pulse shootings

Written by gaytourism

‘I think nothing encapsulates the sissiness of a guy quite like the word ‘faggot’…I have a fairly robust resentment of the gay community,’ he said.

‘I don’t want to really get into this, but when there was the Orlando shooting and the guy was shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ or something I was like (pumps fist).

‘But yeah, I’ve got to be a bit careful with that because well, you know, I don’t like gays, but I don’t want to see people getting killed in nightclubs either. But still, I mean, it’s just fantastic.’

Uploaded in early May, the video remained under the radar until someone posted it on Reddit.

Jinkx Monsoon weighs in

In no time, the backlash to Berke’s vile comments came through on social media.

People from around the world condemned his comments, including RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, Jinkx Monsoon.

‘Hi! My name is @NickBertke! I remix Disney movies into music and even though 90% of my audience is queer, I’ve decided to go on record that ‘I hate faggots’ cuz, you know. I don’t actually want a career,’ Monsoon wrote on Twitter.

‘You’re entitled to your willfully ignorant thoughts, but I’d love to know why, without any real provocation, you decided to alienate your majorative fan base with hate speech. @NickBertke, good luck selling your music without the queer community. It’s 2018. Wake up asshole.’
