Edited on Mon Jun-12-06 12:16 PM by Ian_rd
Singer Kevin Aviance beaten in NYC

NEW YORK - A singer whose songs have topped the Billboard dance chart was attacked by a group yelling anti-gay slurs, and four people were arrested on hate-crime charges, police and his publicist said.

Kevin Aviance, 38, underwent surgery for a broken jaw after the attack Saturday, said his publicist, Len Evans.

2. Is this where we're heading
Are hate crimes going to rise to deafening levels before the Bush lovers of the world realize there is a problem?

I wish I knew what makes people so evil.

The good news is that Kevin is going to be okay physically, but mentally, what does this do to a person?

3. I knew this was coming (and you're right - it is Bush's fault)
A homophobe state senator in MN (thank God she isn't mine) routinely draws wackos and other right-wing extremists spewing hate to her gay marraige rallies.

Bachmann promoting the gay marraige amendment....Gay marraige could lead to "group marraige, polygamy and things much worse."

6. Don't you just wonder??
Actually, the gay rights issue is personal for Bachmann.

She grew up with a half-sister who is a lesbian and is in a long term committed relationship. Her family members have written LTTEs distancing themselves from her remarks.

Very sad that she takes her own problems and tries to make them everyone else's.
