    I remember this. Fuck that guy. Make an example of him. I know the family said they don’t want to ruin his life. Let the prosecutor do it. Bigots have no space in a civilized society.

      I thought this guy was a high schooler at most, but a 20 year old college student?

      Fuck that. Actions have consequences. He’s more than old enough to make his own choices and be held accountable to them.

      On the upside at least I guess, now whenever someone googles this guy, this story will come up. So long as HR departments do this, he’s fucked.

          This, everyone would be so much happier if everyone else could just be who they are and express themselves how they want and just leave others alone if you don’t like how they live their lives.

      “they don’t want to ruin his life” like the judge who gave Brock the rapist Turner a 6 month sentence for raping a woman because a long prison time could ruin his life.

      He was obviously willing to waive his tallywhacker around in front of a queer person’s security camera…

      He’s still homophobic, but once he meets the right guy… ?

      Maybe I’m just an optimist. Dude’s still a dick.

        Sadly, there’s a lot of self-hating homophobes out there. I wish they could just be themselves and be happy, rather than feeling the need to hate other people because their fantasy novel or whatever told them to.

        Edit: Also, that book says not to judge other people, so they aren’t even following it correctly.

        connotation matters. anti-LGBTQ sounds like a political stance, homophobic makes it clear there’s hatred and a willingness to deprive people of human rights there.

          What do you think politics are? A willingness to deprive people of human rights, that’s politics. “Human Rights” is politics. I agree that its important to take complex concepts apart and study them so they can be understood, but you have to put them back together, otherwise you can’t tell that these gears and belts and levers and pulleys are actually a machine with a function

          To be frank, “anti LGBT” sounds more extreme to me than “homophobia.” I don’t see this as watering down hatred.

      Homophobic feeds into the gay panic theory that people who killed gay men were only doing so out of panicing and not hate crime enthusiasm.

      I’m not saying don’t use it, it really isn’t a big deal at all, but correcting people who feel it’s a misnomer isn’t necessary either.

      I guess that depends on the state. Taking a piss in this state is protected as a necessary biological function. Even when committing an act of vandalism. So at most here he would get the vandalism charge. Case in point years ago a Hispanic man who was very drunk entered a typical for the time all white church asking to use the restroom. They were very rude to him so he took a piss right there in the center aisle. He was arrested and charged with several things. One of them being indecent exposure. His lawyer got all of it thrown out using a very old law that states that you can’t prevent someone from performing a basic biological act. Its one case where somehow this backward ass state got something right. Probably by accident.

          Nothing is stopping anyone from shunning you if you do. Just because you can’t be convicted doesn’t mean you will skate through with no consequences.

    The alleged vandalism took place on the night of Thursday, February 8, in the Weinland Park neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Video from the family’s front door surveillance camera shows the vandal pulling down his pants and urinating on the flag while repeatedly saying, “F**k the gays.” The vandal then extended his middle finger towards the house and hit its front door twice before running away with a male friend who had recorded the crime on his cell phone.

    Damn they even got video evidence, how convenient.

      There was a family that was victim to a hate crime as well, not just the perpetrator. If this happened to me I would feel awful if the general response was to ignore what happened.

      You’re honestly asking why a bigot fucking around with a pride flag and finding out during Pride Month matters?

      For the same reason it would matter if they were pissing on a portrait of Dr. King on Juneteenth.

        My point was just that given a large enough population you can always find idiots who do outrageous things for attention. I think denying them attention makes it less likely that others follow in their footsteps.

          Denying them attention means that others don’t know that it’s wrong.

          There’s a reason why we tell people what’s right and what’s wrong.

            The real wrong that people need to be educated on is that respect for the human rights of others is not a “political opinion”.

            Anyone who doesn’t know that urinating on others’ property (without their consent) is wrong has something so severely broken in them that public shaming can’t fix it.

              And yet many, many people don’t seem to understand that being bigoted against queer people is wrong.

              How do you propose we show that to people without pointing out the wrong that’s being done?

                Let’s make sure everyone knows the stories of queer heroes, like Alan Turing, a titan of computer science, information theory, and cryptography whose efforts helped save the world at one of its darkest hours.

                …who was then so severely persecuted because he was gay that he wound up in an early grave.
