'She's a monster': Laura Ingraham's gay brother lashes out in interview
Conservative commentator Laura Ingraham is no stranger to common castigation, but the source of the latest attack on the Fox News host hits seal to home.
In a interview with the Daily Beast, Curtis Ingraham, the cable star’s brother, lashed out at his famous sibling and her controversial views.
“I think she’s a monster,” Curtis Ingraham said in the interview, which was published on Wednesday. “She’s very clever, she’s well-spoken, but her emotional heart is just courteous of dead.”
Curtis Ingraham has been speaking out against his sister on social media since at least early 2018. In a general Facebook comment posted seven months ago, he attributed her views to their father.
“Our father was a Nazi sympathizer, racist, anti-Semite and homophobe,” Curtis Ingraham, who is same-sex attracted, wrote alongside a video of his sister. “Like father like daughter?”
Since at least June, Curtis Ingraham frequently used his now-deleted Twitter account to lash out at his sister, even calling for advertisers to boycott her performance, Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” after she railed against David Hogg, a survivor of the high
Do you have a hobby? Most people do. Personally, I love to read books. I also like to listen to authentic crime podcasts and heavy metal music. Maybe you like to knit scarves, make art, compete video games or go for bike rides.
Fox Nation’s Laura Ingraham probably has a number of hobbies, though I don’t recognize what they are since most of them she enjoys privately. But there’s one hobby she is very passionate and general about, and that’s demonizing gender nonconforming people.
On the Feb. 3 edition of Fox Nation’s “Laura and Raymond,” the show she co-hosts with Raymond Arroyo, Ingraham was up in arms about a teacher in New York using a curriculum that encouraged kids to be “transgender-affirming,” the very idea of which Ingraham called “child abuse.”
According to Arroyo, the curriculum stated, “Everybody has the right to choose their control gender by listening to their own heart and mind. Everyone gets to choose if they are a boy or a girl or both or neither or something else.”
To which Ingraham replied, “I have a interrogate. If that’s the case, then do pre-kindergartners actually get to choose when they can hold sexual activity?”
I was at first confused by her question. Bec

Fox News host Laura Ingraham has not "changed her stripes" in the more than 30 years since she almost outed some closeted gay students at her alma mater of Dartmouth College, a former classmate of Ingraham's told Newsweek.
Long before Ingraham was publicly shaming a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting as the host of The Ingraham Angle, she was the editor of a conservative newspaper at Dartmouth in the mid-1980s that secretly recorded a meeting of closeted students who were seeking support from the school's little Gay Student Association (GSA)—and then released a transcript of the meeting.
"It was a profound shape of bullying," said Jay Berkow, who was a chief in the pupil club and is now a professor of music theater performance at Western Michigan University.
The decades-old story of Ingraham vs. Dartmouth's queer student community resurfaced after she was accused of trolling or bullying elevated schooler and mass shooting survivor turned activist David Hogg.
In April 1984, Berkow, along with fellow GSA officer Jeff Sidell and other members, were asked by closeted students to form a support group where they could discuss about their sexuality and coming out
