Gennie:

I feel just as angry as you about this

This person wasn’t the first to be raped because of homophobes and she will not be the last sadly

I am an atheist so I cannot pray for a better future but I will hope for one

This infuriates me. And like Paul and Jovan said–no, those Christian conservatives will never step into help lesbians who are raped–because it suits them to have a class of marginalized queer women who they can throw their bigotry on, and to have one set standards of acceptable behavior for women–white, straight, feminine, and Christian–no lesbians allowed.

Anger.

Jovan:

I agree that it’s utterly shameful. How hateful can these people get? I’m not religious but I thought the great message of Christianity was love thy neighbour?

Lucky for them there isn’t a hell because otherwise this nasty bigoted movement would all be headed there.

There must be so many decent citizens and churchgoers who are ashamed of their fellow countrymen who spit this poison.

Right on, Cara. These homophobic zealots that banned LGBT marriage in some 29 states always stay silent whenever something like that happens.

How many editorials have been done in the New York Post or the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle that condemns these kinds of gang rapes on lesbians? Answer: zero.

How many Catholic or Christian churches that support bans on LGBT marriage have come out and condemned hate crimes against LGBT people? This answer is really easy: zero.

These four savages should be locked up for the rest of their lives for what they did to this woman — no questions asked.
