Fox News host Laura Ingraham has a reputation for being anti-gay and homophobic. Even her own brother, who is gay, publicly called her "a monster" last year.
“Our father was a Nazi sympathizer, racist, anti-Semite and homophobe,” Curtis Ingraham, who is gay, wrote, as NBC News reported. “Like father like daughter?”
The list of Ingraham's attacks on the LGBT community is long. She has engaged in transphobic attacks, and once used NAMBLA, a heinous and essentially defunct group in an attempt to paint the venerable Southern Poverty Law Center as dangerous and un-American.
GLAAD notes Ingraham "has an extensive record of attacking the LGBTQ community including repeatedly calling medically necessary transgender healthcare 'child abuse,' fearmongering by comparing LGBTQ rights to incest, and using her platform to aggressively target the transgender community."
On Monday she added to that list, targeting Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, and calling him "sanctimonious and self-righteous."
