I know we shouldn’t wish brutality on people, but there is the other side of the argument, especially by people who just do a different kind of Brutality to their fellow citizens.

Assuming he is convicted and sent to xyz penitentiary, we should mail him a few dozen bottles of lube.

Doesn’t matter if religious or atheist, gay unfriendly or not.

Examples, Langford, Blagojevich, Stevens, DeLay. One pro-gay and the rest antigay. It’s all the same, do a big enough crime, lose your political office one way or another, jail or no jail.

In the case of Blagojevich or some other pro-gay corrupt official “advancing his political career at all costs”, the GLBT community may in the short run, lose a “friend”, but in the long run GLBTsd will be better off from losing connection with a corrupt figure whose criminality and/or whose questionable “shady deals”, puts another “ill-afforded storm cloud” over the BLBT community that still has to struggle for its rights and gives another “black eye” to our community.
