WASHINGTON Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore went on a predictable tirade about sodomy and transgender people over the weekend. But in the midst of it, he made a stunning revelation: He still watches M*A*S*H. And it makes him angry about LGBTQ rights.

You know, the LGBTQ-VRSTUV, I dont know what it is LGBTQ, when they first came out, I said, Transgender? Never. Thats dumb, Moore said on Saturday at the Dekalb County Republican Breakfast Club in Fort Payne, Alabama, according to the conservative news blog Yellowhammer News .

Do you know what transgender is? Thats not Biblical, Moore continued. And when men want to be women? I was watching M*A*S*H the other day, talking about Korea, Vietnam ... talking about whats his name, Klinger. He wanted to get out of the Army because they didnt accept transgender. Now, I guess he would get a promotion.

Theres a lot to unpack here. For starters, is M*A*S*H even on TV anymore? Great show, but the last episode aired in 1983. Is this 72-year-old guy up at 3:45 a.m. watching reruns on channel 680, cursing into the darkness about queer people? Thats sad!

Also, Corporal Maxwell Q. Klingers character wasnt transgender. He was a cisgender man who wore womens clothes as a stunt to try to get a Section 8 discharge from the Army, a former designation for soldiers deemed mentally unfit for duty. His cross-dressing was the butt of jokes, and it had nothing to do with his actual sense of gender identity.

And then theres the idea that because Klinger was cross-dressing, he would be promoted in todays military because LGBTQ rights have come that far thanks to the Homosexual Agenda.

LGBT have an agenda, Moore warned at the Saturday event. They wont even put my name on a billboard now on church because they would get attacked. Who speaks against LGBT? Tell me the last politician you heard to talk about transgender rights. Even the Supreme Court hasnt recognized transgender rights.
