Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) star Bryce Mitchell thinks public schools will turn his children gay.
The featherweight took to Instagram on Wednesday unprompted to rant against everything from vaccines and LGBTQ+ people to Edgar Allen Poe. Mitchell, 29, falsely claimed vaccinations are “poisonous” to children and “bad for their health,” spouting the widely-debunked conspiracy that they cause autism, before launching into old school homophobia.
“[My son’s] going to have to be homeschooled. We’re gonna have to homeschool all our kids or they’re going to end up turning gay,” he said in a video, speaking directly to the camera while holding his infant son. “I don’t want him to be a communist, I don’t want him to worship Satan, and I don’t want him to be gay.”
Mitchell then claimed public schools have removed Christian teachings like the Bible and replaced them with the works of Poe, who “shacked up with his cousin.” Poe notoriously married his first cousin, Virginia Clemm, in 1836 when he was 27 and she was just 13.
