I have a feeling that the investigation will find that their was no threat but was a stunt by Maine Family Policy Council to try to make them out to be a victim.

God is Good. Here is something that you can stuff in your pipe and smoke it.

You were not BORN a christian you CHOSED to be a Christian. There is nothing PREVENTING you from becoming a non-christian. So why should YOU and your kind be given SPECIAL privledges and rights for a CHOICE you made?

Let’s be real folks, it is highly unlikely that any such threat was made by a “gay guy” with guns for God’s sake.

As for God is Good, or GIGgedy as I affectionately refer him/her as, if we all just simply make fun of everything he/she says, I assure you he/she will go away. There is no semblance of reasonable debate there-he/she is successfully baiting us.

never threaten just do.
a threat is a warning that one does not need to give.
Now is the time for all good queers to come to the aid of their peers.

I’m not advocating violence, but if the threat was real, it’s no worse than what gays experience every day. Let somebody put some bullets in his car, through his house, or maybe in him. Second Amendment says we can have guns. Doesn’t limit the type or the number. Now, what would happen if you got some really angry faggots and dykes who also happened to practice their shooting on a regular basis, and they started using those guns to defend their Constitutional rights? If it’s OK for wingnut “christians” at Ruby Ridge or Waco, then it’s OK for us.

Now, if somebody wants to up the game a little more, and maybe leave a bullet Michael Heath’s pillow, or kitchen counter, all I can say is that it’s illegal to break into somebody’s house, but actions have consequences. When you seek to deny people their rights, they might turn your game on you and form a posse. Rule by might or force doesn’t require a majority, and if Michael Heath were someday hit by a hollow-point bullet that exploded a few of his organs, then I guess he might have a better understanding of that. Again, I’m not advocating violence, but if it’s OK for us to be targets, then it’s OK for us to pick our own targets for retaliation. It’s hitting back, not throwing the first punch.

Why does the AP think it’s right to combine story about a threat with a story about a peaceful protest? These are not related.

What is related is an attack on a person’s family, followed by a threat against the attacker.

Besides, threats are only prosecutable if a person would reasonably believe they would be carried out. What gay person has ever shot the people who persecute us? It just doesn’t happen.

You may threaten me.
And I may laugh at you.

You may hurt me.
And I will never feel guilty.

You may try to steal from me.
And I find it an honor to have my creations stolen and the mundane left behind!

You may kill me.
And I thank you for allowing me to go home to my master’s loving arms!

Luv

I think we need to leave God is Good a message too.

Aren’t these the kind of threats many gay people live with every day?

That ol’ shoe on the other foot sure don’t feel none too comfy now do it?

Not that I’m advocating or condoning the violence. We can only hope there’s the odd person out there that’ll experience a sudden realization though I suspect even that is a bit too much to hope for.

“The person who left the voicemail said, “I can tell him this. I’m a gay guy who owns guns, and he’s my next target.””

It’s a start in the right direction, I guess….
