The leader of a Republican homosexual activist group that considers itself a moderate influence in the party is linked to radical "queers" urging the murder of Christian leaders, according to a family advocacy group.
Eva Young, president of the Minnesota Log Cabin Republicans, is co-moderator of a discussion group associated with usQueers.com, a notorious website shut down by a court order, according to a report written by Allyson Smith for Concerned Women for America.
The website, which debuted in March 2001, displayed a "Wanted" poster calling for "A Horrible Death By Any Means Soon" for "Well-Known Het [heterosexual] Supremacists."
Webmaster Bruce Allan Ross included on his hit list former President Ronald Reagan and former Sens. Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. The site also called for the deaths of Focus on the Family's James Dobson and CWA founder Beverly LaHaye.
Ross was jailed last year after storming a Baptist Church in San Diego and threatening its pastor with a broken glass bottle.
CWA discovered Young's link to the website when a writer for its Culture and Family Report publication, Gary Morella, came under fire for his article defending Sen. Rick Santorum's remarks about a Supreme Court sodomy law case.
Young e-mailed Morella to question his qualifications and possibly jeopardize his job as faculty member at Penn State University.
The Log Cabin leader insisted to CWA in a phone interview she was not trying to get Morella fired, but said perhaps he should be "disciplined" by the university because his Penn State affiliation was noted in the article.
Won't exclude 'any methods'
Robert Knight, director of CWA's Culture and Family Institute, called on the Log Cabin Republicans' national leadership to disassociate itself from Young for her involvement with "usQueers" activists, the family advocacy group said.
CWA said it obtained an archived copy of the website, which has this disclaimer: "usQueers.com does not authorize, ratify or directly threaten acts of violence toward the people or organizations on this list."
Other pages on the website, however, show photos of weapons and describe their use, including guns, a sword cane, a bow saw and a throat slasher.
The website asked visitors to supply personal information about its targets, including: their home, office and church addresses; favorite hangouts; family members; phone numbers; automobile license plate numbers; and "just about anything which could be useful in spotting these dangerous het supremacists when they are wandering around loose."
Its "About Us" section explains:
We are trying to provide information on this website which is not easily available elsewhere, and to serve as a conduit for communications between those who also have this mission. We do not automatically exclude the validity of any methods for achieving this mission.
Young told CWA she did not support calling for the death of critics of homosexuality, but contended, in the interest of free speech, usQueers.com should not have been shut down.
CWA noted a November 2001 radio talk show interview with San Diego's Rick Roberts in which Ross and CWA's Peter LaBarbera were guests. During the broadcast, Ross said he hoped LaBarbera would die of a heart attack.
LaBarbera, senior policy analyst at CWA's Culture and Family Institute, at the time was head of a group called Americans for Truth About Homosexuality.
On his website, Ross described LaBarbera as "a true bottomfeeder, a scum-sucking weasel who is obsessed with Queer sex beyond all reason, except where one watches him step on the bodies of those he kills with his lies in order to create his career as a Queer hater and hunter."
"His death should be soon, since he is rotting now from the inside out," Ross wrote.
'Bang, bang'
CWA said a recent check of the Yahoo discussion groups "usQueers" and its successor, "us_queers," shows Ross and Young are current contributors.
Young is shown as a co-moderator of the new us_queers discussion group, which lists as its co-owner Rusty Morris, who recently implied death threats against the leader of a pro-family San Diego group, Courageous Christians United.
In her interview with Culture and Family Report," Young said she "does not run" the us_queers discussion group, and contended her involvement on the list is a private activity not associated with Log Cabin Republicans.
"I'm on all sorts of lists," she said.
Young also moderates "sodomlist," a Yahoo chat venue "for folks to discuss tactics and approaches to get rid of sodomy laws."
Morris, also a member of sodomlist, posted a threatening response to Courageous Christians United director Steve Klein for his criticism of the "Day of Silence," a national protest event held April 9 by homosexual activists.
Morris wrote:
Bang Bang...they shot him down, BANG BANG ..that lovely sound... BANG BANG... filthy christo-het...Bang Bang...got what he should get bang bang...facist nazi pig...bang bang...big mouth and little [expletive] bang bang...this is my disclaimer...bang bang...free speech fantasy waiver bang bang...that beautiful sound...bang bang...IN MY DREAMS...my baby shot him down
Young insisted she does not "celebrate the deaths of anybody," and condemns more extreme statements by Morris and usQueers, but called Morris "an interesting guy."
"This is an edgy list," with lively opinions, she said "I don't support everything that people say on that list."
Mainstream status
CWA's Knight said "it will be interesting to see if Log Cabin Republicans – which has blasted a leading Republican senator for merely voicing his opinion in defense of sodomy laws – will now fully disassociate itself from Ms. Young and her fanatical usQueers allies."
In an interview for Culture and Family Report, LaBarbera asked Young whether or not Log Cabin Republicans should allow one of its state leaders to be involved with extremist "gay" activists who celebrate the murder of opponents and use incendiary rhetoric such as "Christo-het supremacists" to describe people of faith.
Young replied, "It's up to the LCR to respond to you. If they're going to [let me go], they're going to do it. I don't expect them to. It would be stupid. It will hurt them in the gay press, but it's their call."
She told LaBarbera she doesn't use phrases like "Christo-het supremacist," but said, nevertheless, "You are one."
CWA's Knight asserted the GOP should factor in Young's radical associations when confronted with the temptation to confer mainstream status on the Log Cabin group.
"There is nothing conservative about consorting with vicious anti-Christian bigots," he said, "just like there is nothing conservative about supporting the redefinition of marriage to include two men or two women, or pretending that two male lovers adopting a baby is as healthy for the child as having a mom and a dad."

Perhaps church leaders need to arm themselves as a real measure of security. Wackos like these are truely dangerous, but they would stop a bullet just like anyone else.
