This one I stayed out of until it was pretty much over. It's about an ugly topic: "I've now been introduced to a dark, intolerant, abusive side of the gay community ..." There is zero tolerance among such people for anyone who dares to disagree with them.
They can get very ugly and even violent. I can confirm it. I was the only conservative opinion columnist for a student newspaper at a large university. The rest of the editorial board ran the gamut from moderate left to flaming Marxist.
When I published an opinion column that criticized the local GLBT agitation tribe for its unbecoming tactics, I became a target. My tires were slashed. I replaced them. Then my car was torched.
My answering machine was filled with obscene messages of hatred. Many of them were threatening. My final project for a class, filed on the school computer system, was sabotaged.
People I had never seen before would walk up to me and scream threats and obscenities in my face.
As Peter LaBarbera said (posted on another thread linked below), "The real message is that Christians and others who defend traditional sexual morality are branded as unfit for public service. This is a warning shot: You will stay silent about homosexual activism or even support it if you aspire to any public position."

Every group has its extremists.

Bryan...
What happened to you is horrible. It is horrible when it happens to anyone.. but it happens to a lot of homosexuals as well. Your story is upsetting, but I don't think that it is an example of how "gays" as a group behave. Every group has a "dark, intolerant, abusive side." And "there is zero tolerance among such people for anyone who dares to disagree with them."
Sorry you had the experience you did. Those people should be arrested. Were any of them caught?

Acts of vandalism like those are difficult to investigate. In those days, the university phone system wasn't amenable to tracing threatening phone calls. Walking up to someone and screaming threats and obscenities in his face could be prosecuted as disorderly conduct. But at the time, I felt that best thing to do would be to let them vent.
