News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyDecember 1st, 2010
And in Sally Kern’s back yard, no less:
Edward James Double, 35, and his wife, Brandy Teresa Double, 35, were jailed Tuesday on complaints of bestiality, exhibition of obscene materials to minor children, maintaining a disorderly house, possession of illegal drugs and soliciting sexual conduct with a minor. Edward Double also faces a complaint of indecent exposure
…”We’ve recovered videotape of people having sex with animals,” Cole said. “It’s disgusting. And we pray that none of the kids have been molested.”
The investigation started Monday when a girl staying at the house called relatives and the relatives called police. Cole said relatives of the girl in Texas called police about possible sexual abuse of the girl. The girl told her relatives she had seen a video of Brandy having sex with a dog. She said she had received e-mails from Brandy and Edward Double encouraging her to have sex with him.
Three dogs were removed from the home, and the legally-married united-in-holy-matrimony couple’s children are now in state custody.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

At last, the truth can now be told.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

I shudder to think how messy a house must be before you get slapped with the legal charge of “maintaining a disorderly house.”

Usually it’s not fit for human or animal occupation and the health department is closing it up.
And Mana, when you see children living in that, to shudder would be the right reaction.

A “disorderly house” is a legal term and does not refer to the living conditions, but the behavior of the occupants.

I pray that the dogs receive the proper treatment for the mental and physical damage done. Placement in a decent home is necessary for the long term good of these poor canines.

What is the point of putting this in BTB? Extreme behavior comes in all shapes, sizes, genders and identities. This has as much relevance to typical hetro behavior as beastiality and pedophilia have to homo behavior. Do we need to stoop this low to make a valid point?

@Dennis W.
It’s important because the anti gay keep asserting, wrongly and without right lies that gay people are either responsible for most child abuse, or WILL abuse children and are more prone to.
When, in actuality, the issue is millions fold, a problem among heterosexuals.
And in misreporting or neglect of that, has a serious affect on public policy.
To say that ALL groups have this problem is too generalized and amorphous when it’s definitively more specific than that.
When I mentioned on a conservative website, TownHall, that I worked in law enforcement and had professional expertise, statistics and criminal information to offer: rather than be asked the truth, I was treated as if a part of the perceived ‘problem’ of gay people in our society.
Couples like this are not discussed on those very websites, nor is the issue discussed so generally as what to do to prevent such abuse and reduce it WHEREVER it is.
Which essentially is why couples like this get away with their abuse.
I directly asked Brian Brown of NOM to direct their energies to domestic violence. That issue needed much more attention.
He didn’t even discuss it or ask me anything. He cut me off altogether.
BTB isn’t stooping to their level, BTB is illustrating the hypocrisy and misdirected campaigns of so called ‘family’ and ‘marriage’ organizations.
If BTB doesn’t report it, NOM and FRC sure won’t.

I always knew that heterosexuality leads directly to beastiality.

I would guess this isn’t too uncommon in OK or any other part of the South–unfortunately.
