I am always worried something will happen to him. Frankly, I have braced myself for it. I try not to let things like this get to me, but after the past few years, I don't feel safe. recently, in our town, the organizers of the Pride Festival, a lesbian couple with a 5yo son, were threatened, even their FIVE-YEAR-OLD son was threatened!! Aren't these the assholes always screeching, "won't SOMEBODY think of the children?!" How does one claim to be a "good Christian" and in the same breath threaten the life of a 5yo child?!
