Irony is alive and well in the state of Texas. On Sunday, police in Fort Worth conducted a raid on a gay nightclub, arresting several patrons and sending one to the hospital with a head injury. Sunday also happened to be the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a landmark moment in the gay rights movement that began when police conducted a raid on a gay bar in New York’s Greenwich Village.
In the early morning hours of Sunday, Fort Worth police entered the Rainbow Lounge with Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) agents as part of routine alcoholic beverage code inspections. The officers claim they encountered two drunk people who made “sexually explicit movements” toward them and another who grabbed a TABC agent’s groin. Six people were then arrested for public intoxication. One of the men arrested, Chad Gibson, was taken to the hospital with bleeding on the brain.
The police account of events has raised much concern. The fact that the Rainbow Lounge had only been opened a week has raised conjecture that it was specifically targeted because it is a gay bar. Furthermore, eyewitnesses staunchly refute the claims that the police were groped and harassed. Others claim the police used unnecessary force.
“He was yelling at me to stop resisting arrest, but I wasn’t doing anything. It was horrible. I really thought he had broken my shoulder,” said George Armstrong who was tackled and arrested during the raid. “I’ve never been so embarrassed and humiliated. I didn’t do anything to him.”
Members of the Fort Worth City Council are demanding an investigation into the raid. Mayor Pro Tem Kathleen Hicks has said she is very concerned about what happened. Councilman Joel Burns has “asked for as thorough a report as possible … to reassure folks that the police are not singling out any group.”
Burns also mentioned that police were unaware that the raid was occurring on the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. The riots were a pivotal moment in the fight for gay equality as they united the gay and lesbian community around a common cause. The riots are often referred to as the birth of the gay rights movement and June is designated as LGBT Pride month in honor of the start of the riots on June 28, 1969.
This idiotic GAY EXORCISM is a PERFECT example of what’s wrong with this country. Bigoted, Ignorant, Christian Fundamentalism gone BERSERK!!!!!!
Ambitious self appointed messiahs like “PROPHETESS PATRICIA MCKINNEY” set up store front churches like HER “Manifested Glory Ministries” luring in the disenfranchised and brainwashing them with total biblical nonsense.
This example is so utterly ridiculous that it may be easily dismissed, but this is dangerous stuff when the psychiatric implications are considered. This young man is bound to be permanently traumatized by this ordeal, as are all who fall prey to these kinds of cunning charlatans.
This is precisely how JIM JONES got started!!!
For the life of US, WE can’t imagine why anyone would want to attend services held by a totally ridiculous CLOWN like “PROPHETESS PATRICA MCKINNEY.”
Perhaps HER flock is bedazzled by the CHA CHA HEELS and BATH TOWEL TURBANS SHE so clearly favors for HER sermons.
WE must confess NO surprise in the California Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the State’s new GAY MARRIAGE ban. But WE take a great deal of comfort in the Court’s decision to allow the existing 18,000 GAY MARRIAGES to stay in place. The Court realizes that GAY MARRIAGE WILL become legal again, within a matter of one or two election cycles, and by allowing the existing marriages to stand they send a clear message that they believe firmly in that inevitability.
The fight for equality WILL continue of course, but WE must realize who the real foes are. OUR fight is with the ULTRA BIGOTED leaders of Religions determined to keep civil rights from the gay community, not necessarily the every day members of those Continue reading »
