End the Lies and Pass the Matthew Shepard Act
I’ve already blogged on the terrorism brought about by these right wing extremists, several times. When they preach the hate toward Gay people or immigrants, their followers listen. The problem is that there bible authorizes them to kill and terrorize people they see fit to terrorize. They’re so extreme that when their minister tells them something behind the pulpit essentially “demonizing” others, that’s automatic authorization for their followers to kill, attack or terrorize Gay people. Rush Limbaugh is a prime example of that constant preaching. I’ve also noticed that most extremist religious views target Gay people, and that seems to be all they do within their organization. I had seen one web site, condemning homosexuality, yet it said nothing about the starvation, homeless children, destruction of our environment or homeless veterans.
I’ve seen this hate preached all to often, and that is why they’re able to get Bush to veto a hate crimes bill because they are the haters committing these crimes.
These same people also taunt Gay people or other people not of their ethnic background. I’m a sixth generation Californian, and I know California has been a Spanish speaking state longer than it’s been part of the Union, yet we have those same kinds of extremists coming out of central California targeting Hispanic people. Many of them take jobs that they will not do themselves. It’s the constant harassment of other groups which helps them gain more converts of the younger generation who feel lost and have a need to join a group.
It’s time to stop this madness in American society.
End the Lies and Pass the Matthew Shepard Act
Two years ago, radical right-wing groups and George W. Bush’s veto threat blocked federal hate crimes protections for LGBT people. Today, we have another chance.
But because we came so close in 2007, our opponents are fighting more ferociously and lying more shamelessly than ever. Your donation will support an ambitious campaign of nonstop advocacy in Congress, grassroots mobilization in key districts, media work, hard-hitting research, and extensive public education.
Anti-LGBT hate crimes were up 6% in the most recent FBI data. They’re happening all around us.
In early December, Jose Sucuzhañay, a real estate broker and father of two, was attacked by a gang of men in Brooklyn. They beat him to death with a baseball bat while yelling anti-Hispanic and anti-gay slurs. He had been walking arm-in-arm with his brother, huddling against the cold.
Just days later, near San Francisco, four men attacked a woman with a rainbow sticker on her car, taunted her for being a lesbian, drove her to an abandoned building and brutally raped her, leaving her naked on the street.
We must give local law enforcement the tools they need to investigate and prosecute these heinous crimes. Help us raise $120,000 to fight for the Matthew Shepard Act.
These horrific crimes happened in states with inclusive LGBT hate crime laws, but many states have none – and even in those that do have sexual orientation and gender identity hate crimes laws, federal investigators can’t intervene without a national law. Until then, we and our loved ones must walk the streets in fear, without the legal protections we deserve.
