Goddard was host of Connected on Sportsbet before he was let go after a string of offensive tweets in 2011. Goddard supported anti-gay comments against the NHL’s Sean Avery for his support of marriage equality. Goddard then appeared in an anti-marriage equality ad in Maine in 2012. This guy clearly loves to be in the spotlight for hating gays, so the opportunity to get a hoot from Cooper was too good to resist.
Freedom of speech is one thing, being a patronizing a$$ is another.

You might be surprised to see a Russian news anchor on this list, but when it comes to homophobia, it’d be a crime not to include someone from one of the most openly antigay nations in the world at the moment. Kisilev anchors Vesit, the leading Russian news show– and no surprise to us, he was appointed to the position by Putin himself.

In 2013, Kisilev delivered a bone-chilling statement on homosexuals in a segment on his show: “I think that just imposing fines on gays for homosexual propaganda among teenagers is not enough. They should be banned from donating blood, sperm. And their hearts, in case of the automobile accident, should be buried in the ground or burned as unsuitable for the continuation of life.”
Yeah, he wants to burn gay people’s hearts.
