"Anyway, this will bring on such a backlash on gays that Matthew Shepard like attacks will be commonplace. Not threatening this, but it may come to that from this intrusion into heterosexual sanctity."

I realize that you're not making a personal threat here, but two men tying up one guy who's half their size and beating him to death with a pistol butt sounds more associated with sanctimony than sanctity to me.

Shepard was the one who approached them; if he flirted in a gay bar he would have never been attacked. If I went to a gay bar and hit on a lesbian, do you think I would not be physically attacked???? Guess again. These dykes on bikes are nasty people.

Not rationalizing murder, but whether you like it or not; straight men have been murdered and mutilated by homosexuals (John Wayne Gacy, Juan Carona), so this is not just big bad heteros targeting gays.

There will be a backlash, believe me. People will think this is the final straw. Most Americans vehemently oppose this.
