Monserrate Supporters Strike at Gays

Slap me! Punch me! Kick me! If you say you love jebus I'll still vote for you.........

~Davya, this guy isn't a Democrat anymore, he was expelled from the Senate and the party, what more denouncement do you need.

If Democratic party doesn't denounce this "gay fanatic" shit, I'm voting independant, I swear, I'm sick of this shit.

If churches are allowing fliers to be passed out endorsing Monserrate, the gay community in NYC needs to go after their 501(c)(3) status. "Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes."

To Scott Rose: While what you're saying is important, THIS is not the venue for it. Is domestic violence among LBGT couples a problem? Yes, of course it is. However, this article is discussing an ex-senator who was convicted on a charge of violence against a woman who is running to regain his seat while his supporters are doing their best, through use of these antigay (homophobic?) fliers to minimize (if not completely ignore) that CRIME to get him back in office. One has to wonder if these fliers are trying to make the churchgoers choose between being homophobes or supporters of violence against women.

Attention religious fascists, we're going to bankrupt your pathetic synagogues of satan. I absolutely hate you fat asses for voting away my right to get married. You're like dog shit on the bottom of my shoe!

To The New York Civil Liberties Union: Your executive director Donna Lieberman spoke in support of NYCLU associate Norman Siegel's legal representation of one-time NYCLU member Hiram Monserrate. Monserrate now is campaigning to regain his seat on a platform openly hostile to the civil liberties of gay people. Monserrate for example has accepted the endorsement of Reverend Ricardo Reyes, who at a rally for Monserrate said "I have seen a whole generation of children sunk down by the gay community." That is a blatant scapegoating of the gay community. Because the NYCLU so recently aligned itself with its one-time member Monserrate, it must now either issue a condemnation of Monserrate's gay hate-mongering campaign or be seen as associated with it. I demand a prompt condemnation by the New York Civil Liberties Union of Monserrate's gay hate-mongering. A non-response will be understood as an endorsement of Monserrate's anti-gay hate mongering.

The irony is that he is running in a heavily populated gay district with heavily populated Latino constituents, many among then also gay - hence the anti-gay rhetoric. He seems to be trying to get the Latinos riled up against each other so let’s see how far he gets with this ploy.

Somebody very massively misinterpreted my prior comment. I advocate for victims of domestic violence and have a particular interest in gay victims of domestic violence, because the gay community is completely ignoring their plight. In all of NYC, there is not one safehouse for gay or lesbians victims seeking to escape their abusers. Very often, the abusers have money and the victims do not. This is one part of why the gay community ignores the issue; the victims so often are poor and therefore it is considered that they "don't really count." I am here commenting to shake up the conscience of the gay community, to draw attention to the plight of gay domestic violence victims and to say "For God's sake you people; do more to protect these innocent victims."

This dude does not deserve another term. Vote against Gay Marriage pay the price. Maybe some of these idiots will get the message.
