Outside of a Roy Moore rally, the father of a gay daughter lost to suicide speaks up

December 12, 2017

Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore once said he thinks “homosexual conduct should be illegal.” He’s also said plenty of other racist and intolerant things — along with being accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls. 

Well, one man wasn’t going to take it. Nathan Mathis, an Alabama farmer who lost his gay daughter to suicide, stood outside of Roy Moore’s rally on Monday night, and spoke out against the candidate’s homophobic comments. 

Here’s the video, from Vaughn Hillyard of NBC News:
