This is hard to believe that humans can act with such brutality. The Churches that promote this sort of anti-gay mentality have the blood of this brave man on their hands. This is the end result taken to the extreme of their insane hateful teachings. It is anything but Christian. I hope David can finaly rest in peace. I say no more U.S. foreign aid to Uganda until they comply with basic human rights for all people. Maybe they will understand that there are consequences to acting in violation of basic human rights.

Actually, I’m not sure if technically I was the first to post it. I had first learned about it about five hours before I posted it, but was waiting for confirmation of key information. In the beginning, there were a lot of rumors and unconfirmed reports swirling around. Some of them turned out to be false. but most of it tragically true. But it was important to wait for clarity because if I had gone with what I had heard earlier, the story would have had a very different arc and may have contained some false and inflamatory “facts.”

So waiting is always prudent if you’re not sure. I was mindful of the beheading hoax, as well as the false reports in the early going of the Tucson shooting that Rep. Giffords had died.

So I think Warren Throckmorton and Human Rights Watch technically broke this ahead of me, but not by very much. Just a few minutes. I think we were all prudent to post only when we each felt confident that we had confirmed facts to report.

That poor brave man. His poor loved ones. We need to remember him when we fight for our rights. We need to remember the struggles of LGBT people all over the world.

Wendy, I third that idea. To hell with the lot of them. They were begging for this.

I call for charges or Conspiracy to commit Murder of Lively, Schmierer, Cohen and Brundlidge and for the US Government to issue an order for an immediate cease and desist of all American-allied anti-gay activities abroad, including but not limited to seizing their assets.
