A Pathetic Slap On The Wrist For Kathryn Knott

Kathryn Knott, the 25-year-old suburban Philadelphia woman found guilty of participating in a group attack on a gay couple in downtown Philadelphia, began serving her 5 to 10 month jail sentence on Monday.

The victims of the 2014 attack told police that they were rushed by a mob of 10 to 12 men and women after one asked them if they were together. As a result of the beating, one of the victims was hospitalized for more than three days and had to have his jaw wired shut.

Common Pleas Judge Roxanne Covington also ordered Knott, a former hospital worker, to get anger management treatment for her numerous online posts attacking gays, Middle Easterners and hospital patients.

“While these were homophobic slurs that started this incident, it could have been any type of hate speech,” Covington is quoted as saying by the AP. “It could have been anyone.”

The victim spoke briefly at Knott's sentencing hearing: “This whole group of people left us. … Every single one of that group, including Kathryn Knott, left me in that alleyway to die.”

Of the three accused, Knott was the only one to refuse a plea deal and go to trial, where a jury convicted her of four misdemeanors, including simple assault.

The victim said it all, every single person in that group was guilty, at the very least of being heartless, sadistic cowards.

A mere slap on the wrist for all three of these soulless asshats. 

Married Gay Man Confronts Anti-Gay GOP Presidential Hopeful Marco Rubio

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio on Monday told a gay married man in New Hampshire that if he disagrees with his opposition to marriage equality, then he should change the law.

According to The New York Times, Timothy Kierstead, 50, was seated at a table in a crowded diner in Manchester with his mother and husband when the candidate walked up behind him.

“Why do you want to put me back in the closet?” he asked, a reference to Rubio's opposition to marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples.

“I don't,” Rubio replied. “You can live any way you want.”

Kierstead criticized Rubio's stance, saying it amounted to him declaring that “we don't matter.”

“No, I just believe marriage is between one man and one woman. I think that's what the law should be. And if you don't agree, you should have the law changed by a legislature,” Rubio replied.

After Kierstead replied that the law had changed, Rubio told him that he respects his view and walked away.

“Typical politician,” Kierstead fumed. “Walk away.”

At the same diner, a 92-year-old woman asked Rubio whether Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was gay. “No,” Rubio answered with a chuckle.

I would have had a better follow up, I would have asked him why my civil rights should be up for a majority vote from a bunch of homophobic, religion pandering bigots.

When First We Practice To Deceive ...

The Michigan senate passed a bill Thursday (4 February) reaffirming the unconstitutional state ban on anal sex.
SB 219, sponsored by Senator Rick Jones, would make anal and oral sex felonies punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment.
The legislation is actually a package of animal protection bills that would ban animal abusers from adopting pets.
But one clause seeks to amend the language of the state penal code on bestiality and sodomy, which are conflated in Michigan law.
‘A person who commits the abominable and detestable crime against nature with mankind or with any animal is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for no more than 15 years,’ it states.
If the defendant is already a sex offender, violations are punishable by up to life.
Jones said removing the words banning sodomy – ‘with mankind’ – would jeopardize the whole bill.
‘The minute I cross that line and I start talking about the other stuff, I won’t even get another hearing. It’ll be done,’ he told The New Civil Rights Movement.
‘Nobody wants to touch it. I would rather not even bring up the topic, because I know what would happen. You’d get both sides screaming and you end up with a big fight that’s not needed because it’s unconstitutional.’
Twelve states still have anti-sodomy on the books, even though the US Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional in 2004.

Here's whats insidious about such unconstitutional laws, state and local homophobic law officers still make arrest citing these laws, yes, they know it won't hold up in court, but by then, the damage is done, your names in the paper for being arrested and stating why you were arrested, it will still be on your record for being arrested.
It's damaging especially to those gay men who either aren't out or can't be out in their jobs for fear of being fired because they are gay.
Laws like this are intended to empower homophobia and used to intimidate, coerce and abuse homosexual men.

If It Quacks Like A Duck

Appearing at Saturday's Republican presidential debate, Florida Senator Marco Rubio claimed that his opposition to marriage equality doesn't make him a hater.

“On one hand, it's clear young people across the political spectrum increasingly favor same-sex marriage,” Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham said. “However, young voters have not moved to the left on abortion.”

“How do you speak to millennials on both these issues while Democrats will inevitably charge intolerance and extremism?” Ham asked Rubio.

“I don't believe that believing in traditional marriage the way I do makes you a bigot or a hater,” Rubio answered. “It means that you believe that this institution that's been around for millennia is an important cornerstone of our society.”

“I respect people that believe differently. But I believe deeply that marriage should be between one man and one woman,” he added.

While Rubio opposes a constitutional amendment that would exclude gay and lesbian couples from marriage by defining the institution as a heterosexual union, he's said that he would appoint Supreme Court justices who oppose marriage equality.

Rubio has also said that allowing gay couples to marry threatens Christianity.

On other related related issues, Rubio is opposed to protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity and opposed repeal of the military's “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy.

So, having a zero rating on LGBT rights issues, doesn't mean you hate homosexuals?

Trying to appeal to millennials by pretending to be open minded isn't the same thing as being open minded.

Your record on LGBT rights speaks for itself and anyone supporting you are just as guilty as you are of dehumanizing and degrading a minority, either for political gain or just plain bigotry.

As for LGBT people threatening Christianity, why should we support a religion that drives individuals like yourself to vote your hateful vision into very real laws that all LGBT people are then forced to live with.

Your hateful, evil deity is completely unworthy of worship if it truly teaches you and others that two loving people of the same sex will be forced into eternal darkness and suffering just for daring to love on another.

If that truly is the message of your religion, then it can't die quickly enough. 

New York Governor Seeking To Ban Ex- Gay Therapy To Minors

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Saturday announced new regulations aimed at ending therapies that attempt to alter the sexuality or gender identity of LGBT youth.

The governor's multi-agency regulations ban public and private health care insurers from covering so-called “conversion” therapy to individuals under the age of 18. Mental health providers overseen by the New York State Office of Mental Health will be prohibited from conducting the practice on minors.

“Conversion therapy is a hateful and fundamentally flawed practice that is counter to everything this state stands for,” Cuomo said in a pres release. “New York has been at the forefront of acceptance and equality for the LGBT community for decades – and today we are continuing that legacy and leading by example. We will not allow the misguided and the intolerant to punish LGBT young people for simply being who they are.”

Renee Binder, president of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), applauded the move.

“Governor Cuomo and the State of New York are commended for taking a principled and scientific stand. APA has long recognized that so-called reparative therapy is not a scientifically validated treatment and can, in fact, undermine self-esteem and be hazardous.”

In 2012, California lawmakers approved and Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill banning the practice on minors in that state. New Jersey, Oregon, Illinois and the District of Columbia have followed suit.

Similar legislation in New York has stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate.
