This raid is nothing more than modern day Bull Conner civil rights violations, only thing missing was fire hoses and police dogs. This is proof positive that GLBT people need to be added to the 1964 civil rights legislation. Thank gawd that Our Chad Gibson didn’t die because then every brain dead Texan could say that’s what he gets for touching the crotch of a heterosexual. As if that would ever happen in that situation. How many black men have been attacked by Texas police because they touched a white man? We are the last officially oppressed Americans, and America continues to live the lie. What those Texas storm troopers did at the Rainbow Lounge is paramount to a modern lynching. Gay is America’s new black, and we are just low life Giggers. Shame on any American that thinks they have any right at all to talk about what rights some of their fellow American’s should not have. Shame, shame,shame on Texas,and that chief of police. Here is every Americans opportunity to ride those integrated buses into Birmingham. The civil rights movement is not over! America may well be the home of the brave (like my ninth Great-grandfather that fought the British to create America,or my father that fought in Korea and left his twin brother dead there in service to America) but we have yet to be the land of the free for one of my father’s children and two of his grandchildren. Shame on America for living the lie that all Americans are equal.
Hope to see you in Washington DC October 11th for our civil rights march. Bring with you a good and decent heterosexual American or 10 that knows freedom should include every American.

Even if he had grabbed a cop’s basket…so the F what????
That means he gets to be beaten nearly to death?
I’m just a little tired of city police forces acting like thugs.
They are supposed to be here to protect the public, not beat us.
What happened to removing the guy’s hand and saying, HEY Bud!! Not interested!
Usually doesn’t require a bat.
Breeder boys are such pussies.

Obviously, there are some people who don’t understand the law. There cannot be any FBI hate investigation into this because TEXAS DOES NOT HAVE A HATE CRIME LAW for GLBT attacks. The person to thank for that is Good ole boy Rick Perry, you know the same one who talks about Texas leaving the union. The same one who compaigned against same-sex marriage here in Texas. The same red neck who’s hatred of the GLBT community is well known. Yeah that guy! If you want changes then help throw this red neck out of office. Throw the mayor of Fort Worth out of office. Get a hate crime law passed in Texas for the GLBT community.

This is a tradgedy. How do we keep this story alive and deliver the Ft. Worth police department a severe blow for the innapropriate behavior? It is clear they are lying to cover up their abuse.

The Menstruator….LOL!!! I wish Austin was not apart of Texas. I moved from West Texas ( San Angelo ) we had a seasonal gay bar, with police protecting outside everynight. So, i’m thankful I moved to a city where I can go to a gay church,bar,resturant,ect. in peace. Looking for a gay friendly job,Austin is a great choice. Again, please e-mail your State Offices and express your concerns. It would also help if you support HRC or other org. that help with the movement. Or even support only compianes that support anti-gay laws in the workplace.

The US Supreme Court struck down sodomy laws throughout this land and invalidated the sodomy law of Texas, etc.
