Openly-Gay Ohio City Councilman Calls For Nurse To Be Fired After Anti-LGBTQ Facebook Rant Surfaces

*Warning: Some images in this article contain homophobic and transphobic language some readers may find offensive*

Chris Seelbach, an openly gay city councilman for Cincinnati, Ohio, recently called for the firing of a nurse who works at Bethesda Butler Hospital after a homophobic rant she posted to Facebook came to light.


In a series of screenshots posted to Twitter, Seelbach revealed anti-LGBTQ rants by nurse Cindy Carter on Facebook.

The offensive post, which is apparently responding to the company Always' decision to remove the female symbol from their menstruation products to be more inclusive towards transgender and gender non-conforming customers, was especially hateful.

She wrote:

"Women have periods, men don't. Grab a mirror, it's easy. You either have a d**k, or you don't."

In another post, she wrote:

"These f**king c**k s**king homos think that they deserve everything. Men need to be men. Women need to be women."

Sabrina Cells, who shares friends with Carter on Facebook, brought the posts to light after making TriHealth, the medical network which runs Carter's hospital, aware by tagging them below her comments.

Cells said:

"People can have their negative thoughts about us and feel things about us all they want, but we need to be protected under a law as well."

Carter was placed on administrative leave at her hospital following Seelbach's tweet. She has yet to respond publicly to the issue, though she did reach out to Cells privately on Facebook claiming her profile had been hacked.

TriHealth has issued a statement saying Carter's comments are under investigation.

The company's statement read:

"We must reiterate that we are dedicated to fair and equitable access to healthcare by all individuals without regard to gender, culture, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, race and physical abilities, as well as other classes protected by law."
"The nurse has been placed on administrative leave for her safety and the safety of our patients while the investigation continues. We are committed to bringing this issue to a swift close and will provide an update when the investigation is complete."


Twitter couldn't believe anyone in the healthcare professional would write such hateful things.




Healthcare professionals, more than anyone else, should be respectful of all lives.

This should go without saying, but on occasions like this, reminders can be helpful.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
