Dean Cain Gets Defensive About Speaking At Anti-LGBT Hate Rally

Former Superman star Dean Cain found himself struggling to answer why he's speaking at the virulently anti-LGBTQ convention, the so-called 'Values Voter Summit' hosted by the hate group, Family Research Council.

GLAAD took to Twitter to ask Cain why he's appearing at the hate rally.

Cain got a little annoyed at being called out.

Check it out below.

👋 @RealDeanCain - We know that you’ve professed your support for LGBTQ people in the past, so why are you speaking at an event hosted by the anti-LGBTQ activists at @FRCdc? #VVS18

FRC’s president @tperkins has said this about gay people: “They are intolerant. They are hateful. They are vile. They are spiteful"..."pawns" of the "enemy.”

FRC actively supports so-called “conversion therapy.” Their senior fellow @spriggfrc has testified in support of it in New Hampshire, Washington DC, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Vermont. Just look at his recent tweets: https://t.co/SVWeOhUp0y

You’ll even be rubbing shoulders with “conversion therapy” activists if you go to #VVS18. https://t.co/gQrYTDQDmX

Here’s the thing, @RealDeanCain: Allies should not turn a blind eye to the people, groups, and rhetoric that propel this event. There is no event on the calendar that is more rabidly against LGBTQ people and our rights. #VVS18

I hope they ask me about my support for gay rights, and the fact that I’m pro-choice. I’m happy to have that conversation.

Dean, we hope you will not wait to be asked but will proactively challenge FRC on their anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and record. https://t.co/RF5qanWvLr

I’m not there to do anything other than discuss the film, GOSNELL. And I’m pro-choice. That will probably take-up the bulk of the time. I’m not there to preach or to lecture—I hope they ask about my support for gay rights. I haven’t studied their record.

— Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) September 20, 2018

I’m speaking there. And I support gay rights. And I’m pro-choice until viability. End of story.
