The 26% upswing from the previous year is sustained, and then some...

Thanks a bunch, Blue... now I have 365gay.com in my browser's cache. If I get beat up by someone from my ISP I'm gonna hold you partly responsible!

On a more serious note, I wonder how that increase compares with the figures for non-LGBT violence. 4% sounds like your typical annual inflation kind of number, but 26% the year before? Yikes! Hooray for the new morality craze sweeping the nation Rolling Eyes

P.S. Your avatar is distractingly good

Very Happy Always here to help.

Thanks for reading the article. What's not said is all the violence that in schools. Adults talk angry; kids act it out.

I'm on edge about this springs' pride events here and elsewhere. Last year we convened by the river between the stadium and PNC Park to listen to some speakers and enjoy lunch with the crowd. We joked about a suspicious looking fellow holding a paper bag on the bridge above us, but didn't relax until a few moments later when he moved off, encouraged by a black and white (police cruiser).

Every LGBT person probably knows someone who got harassed or beat up, and has been to a LBGT establishment that at one point was either firebombed or shot up. Change takes time, but this administration's decision to use LGBT as fodder in a political divide is taking its toll. Its as scary a climate as I've seen, and I've been around quite some time as you know. Wink

The Bush administration..."we don't preach violence; we just preach hatred."
