Lazer redeems himself, sort-of.

Lazer Brody has a post condemning posters telling people to attack gays in Jerusalem.

It's time to make something crystal clear: Every Jew is my brother or sister. A person doesn't lift a finger against a brother or sister; on the contrary, the Torah commands us to come to the aid of a fellow Jew. Do you know what that means? If thugs would attack a gay Jew, religious law requires me to do everything in my power to come to that Jew's assistance. An erring brother is still a brother. But, if that gay brother wants to flaunt evil in public and make a mockery of Jerusalem's holiness, then I must try my best to stop him.

There's no contradiction between loving a fellow Jew and fighting against his or her anti-Torah ideology, such as the way we fight against assimilation, abortion, and the like.
Yasher Koach, Lazer, but this seems to be somewhat in contradiction with your earlier talk with the King of the Autistics.

Ben: Everything is important, but first - modesty and family purity. The opposite is the biggest threat to Am Yisroel today.

LB: How so?

Ben: The Gay Parade planned for Yerushalayim. This is the real reason I'm allowed to speak, because the evil has become so great and so brazen that Hashem has to allow a small revelation from the pure side. If this tragedy is allowed to take place, and if those people - the lowest and most dangerous order of Amalekites - are allowed to reach the Wall, then no army will be able to prevent the disaster that awaits Am Yisroel, heaven forbid.

So the gays represent the greatest threat to the people of Israel at the present moment- bigger than any potential harm that Iran or Hamas could do. Should they be allowed to march in Jerusalem, it will cause a major disaster. They are also called Amalekites, some of the most hated people in the history of the Jewish people, a nation that the Jews are COMMANDED to exterminate from the earth.

And yet you say you would protect them from attackers?

Sorry, Lazer, I don't get it. Either these guys are Amalekites worthy of death ("Ben's" words, not mine, and supposedly not yours), or they're fellow Jews to be protected. You can't have it both ways. Stop hiding behind mealy-mouthed pseudo-statements by autistic would-be prophets that you sort of kinda-endorse depending on the color of your mood-stone and how your aura is that day and stand by your damn opinion, whatever the hell it is. Gays: an evil threat that could destroy Jerusalem and therefore must be opposed in whatever way possible, or misguided Jews that need to be doused with used diapers in one hand and brought closer to the Torah with the other?

Pick a side, Lazer, so I can hammer you with it.

"Doused with used diapers"? Well, I suppose it could work for some...

It's what they use to protest the Women of the Wall. Presumably they would use
the same weapons. It's hard to think of creative shit when you're supposed to
be learning Gemara.
