Dear Pastors Charles Worley, Andy Gipson, and Ron Baity,

You don’t know me, but you might want me dead.

I’m writing to each of you because in 2012, you expressed a firm belief that homosexuals should all be killed. Not only did you say these words, you preached them.

And now, it’s happened.

This past weekend in Portland, Texas, an unknown attacker opened fire on a teenage lesbian couple, killing one and leaving the other seriously injured. Friends, family and co-workers of 19-year-old victim Mollie Olgin describe her as a loving and kind woman who was a bit of a “joker.” Mario Olgin, the victim’s father, said that he knew something was wrong when his daughter, a first-year psychology major at a nearby university, did not come home Saturday morning. Police are now reporting that both women were shot around midnight the night before, and left to die. The other victim, 18-year-old Mary Chapa, is recovering from emergency surgery. Chapa’s brother, Hilario, reports that his sister is a “fighter.”

On April 20, award-winning lesbian photographer Zanele Muholi was the victim of a burglary at her Cape Town, South Africa home. The thieves did not bother taking the expensive electonics in Muholi’s Vredehoek flat, but managed to find and steal 20 of her external hard drives, which contained five years’ worth of archived photos. Muholi’s irreplaceable loss is devastating, but a more pressing issue is at stake: the life of each African lesbian who was cataloged in her work.

Homo-fascists, aborters, and poo-eaters. These three words sound like the barbs of a really dysfunctional, yet creative, child. But, no. They are the latest buzz words in the world of anti-gay hate speech. The old standbys, like sodomite, pedophile, and faggot, are simply not fashionable anymore.

Poo-Eaters:
In the past few weeks, there has been a shitstorm (sorry—it was too easy) of poo-related remarks lobbed at the LGBT community. In Los Angeles, a religious official with a megaphone told pride marchers to “stop eating your poo-poo!” While it may be gaining traction (leaving skid marks?) now, the hate etymology of “poo-eater” dates back to May of 2010, when a video surfaced of Ugandan preacher Martin Ssempa telling his congregation, in no uncertain terms and with visual aids, that gay sex involves ingesting poo. The video went viral, and even launched a few auto-tune “Eat Da Poo Poo” mixes.

Those of you not familiar with the Term A-List Gays; well that’s just something that popped into my head one time when observing some over-confident, self-loving and self-appreciating homosexuals in full swing. The Supreme being, well that’s no Diana Ross reference to disco songs and hot pants.

One thing I should clear up right off the bat is that self-confidence is something that is definitely on the plus side of personality traits. It’s just not something that should be as over powering as a gay who just took a bath in Kouros. Read more →

This week in Miami, Swinging Richards slapped (swung?) a lawsuit on the city of North Miami Beach for its prohibition of nude male dancing. The gay strip club, which opened in October of last year, has been swinging its wares on Biscayne Boulevard without any fear of legal recourse. NMB does have a 1994 “no nudie bar” ordinance, but until now, it has never been enforced. Read more →
