THEY'RE TRYING TO RID THE WORLD OF US...

Robert Walsh BEFORE


Robert Walsh AFTER


One of those fun, frivolous gay pride marches in Eastern Europe




England, I believe


Average everyday violence


Lashings in Iran


A young gay man in NYC will never walk again, but he can stand.


I'm not sure what's going on here because I can't read the original page, but it happened in Bali.


Performer Kevin Aviance beaten in Manhattan


They survived.


Gay politician Volker in Germany attacked at pride parade: Before


After


Gay Pride in Budapest


Another one


This man's partner was severely beaten by a man hired to work in their home.


Florida mom attacked by anti-gay zealot because her son's friend was gay


Young lesbian beaten exactly four months ago today...


Orthodox Jews riot in the streets against gays



This man was beaten and detained by Homeland Security for trying to flee his native Namibia because he was going to be executed for being gay.


Punched in the face for being gay



AND SOMETIMES THEY SUCCEED...

Gwen Araujo. Murdered by three boys



Sakia Gunn. Stabbed to death for being a lesbian.



Rashawn Brazell. Decapitated and dissected. Body parts dumped in garbage cans along the A Line Subway in NYC in 2005. His head has not been found.



Winans and Lollie murder. Killed on camping vacation.



Others murdered for being gay:














three murdered when an anti-gay activist set off a nail bomb in a gay bar


African lesbian rights activist murdered in Sierra Leone:


Being LGBT in Iraq gets harder after Saddam is replaced by Muslim fundamentalists:

transgendered woman in Iraq, tortured and burned alive


Iraqi boys murdered for being gay by the Muslim fundamentalists flooding Iraq


Scene of gay bar hatchet killings in Arkansas


This man's murderer went to a motel with him, killed him, stuffed him in a suitcase, and threw his body in the lake. He laughed and partied afterwards with relatives. His murderer was not charged with a crime. It is lawful to murder gay men to protect yourself from sodomy in Kentucky.


Ronny Parris was killed by his father for being potentially gay. His father attended an evangelical church with a strong ex-gay message. I suppose his father decided to take the whole ex-gay thing into his own hands. Ronny was three years old.


This woman's cousin was stabbed to death


The murdered body of Jamaican gay rights activist Brian Williamson


And for your enjoyment and disgust, some anti-gay literary giants:

From the town next to mine. Remember! Contact your church or some freemarket site!
My girlfriend cleans carpets in peoples homes in this town by herself. She is visibly gay. Yeah, I worry.


This person might be a good, moral, decent person, but they sure don't know how to spell.


If someone sits down to 'discuss their differences' with this soldier, does it violate don't ask don't tell?



PLEASE ASK YOUR POLITICIANS TO PROTECT LGBT PEOPLE FROM DECAPITATION, RAPE, STABBING, BURNING TO DEATH and... even PUNCHING! Or if you can't do that, maybe repeal laws that say anti-gay fanatics can murder us with impunity.

And if that's asking too much...

Can you just understand why we get scared sometimes?
