Some things are just too disgusting to even comment about: (The Oregonian)
Jessica Dutro believed her 4-year-old son, Zachary Dutro-Boggess was gay, prosecutors told the court Wednesday, and that was her motive for subjecting him to deadly beatings.
Dutro, charged with murder, murder by abuse and second-degree assault, is on trial in Washington County Circuit Court.
Emergency crews brought Zachary to a Portland hospital Aug. 14, 2012, where doctors determined he was dying from trauma to his abdomen that caused tears in his bowel. He was taken off life support two days later.

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 live nearby and hadn’t even heard of this. Another outrage perpetrated by heteros on innocent children. Of course the family values crowd insists that gay and lesbian parents aren’t healthy for children, LOL. I’m starting today to collect these articles.
That poor, poor child. My heart breaks for him.

Just remember, every child deserves to have a father and a mother, and that us the optimal mode and circumstance for raising a child.
If he survives.

From the article:
In the message, Dutro told her boyfriend, Brian Canady, that Zachary was “facing the wall†because he had made her mad.
Her son was going to be gay, she wrote, using a slur. “He walks and talks like it. Ugh.â€
Canady would have to “work on†Zachary, she wrote.
And in further support of her “family” values:
Prosecutors say on Aug. 16, 2012, the day Zachary’s life support was terminated, Dutro searched terms such as anger management and parenting classes. She also searched listings for free stuff and SEX WITH STRANGERS, they said. (emphasis is mine)

While I want to agree with you, Timothy, that some things are too disgusting to comment on, I can’t agree. The comment I have to make is that both of these people belong in prison for a good long time and both should be sterilized so they can’t breed any more children to torture.

I’m assuming it would still be legal for Dutro and Canaday to get married. Am I wrong about that?

Richard: You’re correct. In Turner v. Safley the SCOTUS ruled that corrections officials have no say in whether or not a prisoner can marry. As long as neither Dutro or Canaday are already married to someone else, they can tie the knot.

Incredible. This couple can get married, but in many states, an exemplary same-sex couple that has been together for decades cannot.

Knowing that the paramount concern of True Christians with respect to marriage is the well-being of children, I’m confident that, within the next few days, they will recognize that their obsession with gays has resulted in a horrifically glaring oversight, and thus they will immediately divert their efforts into a major campaign to prevent marriage by couples if there is documented evidence that either one of them has murdered or otherwise severely harmed a child.
