This dude only has $300 in his bank acct. Where is HRC? Where is DC Center? Where are activits? Fund raising time to help him to get through the due legal process, Don’t throw him under the bus!

Huh??? A perp is a perp. He set us back– as did the fake claim of the lesbian in Nebraska (ABC News-reported). This violent crime at FRC particularly distracts from the important efforts to end anti-LGBT violence in DC.

If you want to donate, donate to the guard who was shot, or to the important work GLOV, Rainbow Response and DCTC are doing to combat hate crimes and domestic violence in the LGBT community.

Funny how no one is supporting Corkin even though he did what so many of us wish we could do. Shooting the security guard was stupid but the Family Research Councils’ Tony Perkins is another matter. The hatred and violence Perkins alone has generated towards the L.G.B.T. community makes me seriously question whether it is right or wrong to attempt to, at minimum threaten him. I’m sure that anyone reading this will think I’m a lunatic but I personally am sick of the threats of violence against myself and my friends. Without the Tony Perkins of the world a vast majority of the animosity present in the world wouldn’t exist.

Supporting a man that lost control of his faculties for a brief period may not be politically correct but it’s not wrong either. Ask yourself what you think drove him to the F.R.C. building in such a rage? Could any of us have done that given the right circumstances?
