Suspects Sought in Wis. Gay Bashing

Gay-bashing is not indigenous to Wisconsin in general, or Madison in particular. It can, and does, happen everywhere. This does not reflect poorly on the beautiful city of Madison or the majority of its residents. A couple of drunkards caused trouble, period. Nor do I think carrying firearms is the best approach. I am a gun owner and well versed in their use. That said, I worry about some other gay man having his gun taken from him, by his attackers. Then he could have some REAL trouble on his hands. The best bet, if you're out late at night is to travel in groups, along well lighted streets and call 9-1-1 if anything looks or feels 'hinky'. Stay safe, brothers. We're moving forward; it frustrates our enemies most, when we WIN!

Actually Wisconsin did not threaten to jail people married elsewhare. One small rural county's district Attorney pointed out a discrepancy in the law and Gay groups jumped on the perscution bandwagon. I live in Wisconsin and no one went to jail or was arrested. that said, a progressive city such as Madison still has its share of drunk college butt heads roaming streets eally in the morning looking for trouble.

Actually Corrie you forgot to add your good old southern state Georgia (and my FloriDuh) to the list. Actually gay bashings can happen anywhere. That said, one can look to each State in terms of their governance and general stance on gay issues. Not sure about Wisconsin but do know that the southern, generally republican states (like your's and mine) tend to have most of the ignorant legislative actions (and general populace) views against gays. Plus look at state polling on gay marriage. New Jersey residents suppport it; southerners do NOT. NJ is likely to have marriage in near future. Georgia and it's regional neighbors are still debating evolution...

Thanks for the compliment, I think, Corey! Never realized Wisconsin was any more backward than the rest of the South, but it's the thought that counts;)

Wisconsin is the state that threatened to throw any gay couples who got married in California in prison. Doesn't come as a surprise to me. Wisconsin isn't much more progressive than South Carolina, Mississippi, New Jersey, Texass or any other ignorant/backward state you can think of.

What do you wanna bet that the victims were both much smaller than 6-foot-4/heavy build and 6-foot-1/180lbs?

I continue to be amazed at the amount of the gay community that opposes conceal carry of firearms. Yes, fight fire with bigger fire! There is NO reason to put up with gay bashing.

It's nice to see they give a discrption of these bashers this time, other then 2 medium built males wearing leather coats and blue jeans..Heck, they even say their race..I wonder why they did that??
