Doctor sacked for calling gay people ‘perverts’ · PinkNews

Israel’s Medical Association has removed a doctor from its ethics committee after he posted homophobic comments to an online forum for family doctors.

What Dr Sudi Namir failed to realise was that a number of his fellow participants were themselves members of the LGBT community.

Dr Namir started his diatribe by expressing his sympathy for gay people, saying he felt “sorry and pray for all those who are sick in their bodies and minds.”

However, his sympathetic tone soon changed. “A pervert is a pervert is a pervert, you can call him whatever you want, he’s a pervert,” he declared, before mourning the loss of a past in which blatant homophobia was perfectly acceptable.

“All the abominations of yesterday have become today’s norm.”

Dr Namir made the comments after some in the forum expressed their support for the LGBT community, stating is was not wrong and was a normal part of some people’s nature.

The comments were made as part of a discussion surrounding the issue of same-sex parenting and surrogacy.
When challenged on the post, Dr Namir told Arutz Sheva Israel National News that the comments supporting the gay community conflicted with his strict religious views.
