Angry Catholic’s Email Threat to Gay Connecticut Lawmakers Revealed

Angry Catholic’s Email Threat to Gay Connecticut Lawmakers Revealed: ”

Ctlawmakers

Last week I posted about a Catholic man who was arrested after sending a threatening email to two gay Connecticut lawmakers.

Kane
The legislators, state senator Andrew McDonald, and state representative Michael Lawlor, were instrumental in the states same-sex marriage battle,
but the threats made by Kane were over a church oversight bill that
would have altered the legal, financial, and administrative structure
of local parishes, giving local parishioners more control. Catholics
turned out to protest the bill in mid-March, after a push from local Bishops.
At least one newspaper saw Catholics using this as an excuse to
exercise their anger over the states same-sex marriage decision
,
targeting the two gay lawmakers.

The content of the email from Kane was revealed in court today, Fox 61 reports. Kane wrote:

‘You better hope myself and other Catholics dont find out where you
live, cause theres hell to pay for your attack on the church.
(expletive) off. God hates gay sex.’

Earlier reports by the New Haven Advocate that the threats were specific death threats and contained the word ‘kill’ may have been misreported, Fox 61 told Towleroad. The lawmakers reportedly received thousands of emails from around the country.

Zambian VP Kunda: Report Homosexuals to the Police

Zambian VP Kunda: Report Homosexuals to the Police: ”

In parliament this week, Zambian VP George Kunda told officials  that the government knew of people who had married to hide their homosexuality, and instructed people to report those people to the police, according to a Zambian news outlet.

Kunda
Said Kunda: ‘Zambia is a Christian nation and it shall continue to be so because it
is part of our constitution. And acts such as homosexuality are not
part of the Christian norm. In 2005, this house passed stiff laws
against homosexuality. For people having carnal knowledge of each other
against the order of nature the punishment is a minimum of 15 years
imprisonment. If you have carnal knowledge of an animal you serve a
minimum of 25 years…I know there are some prominent people in our society who are
practicing homosexuality, some of them are engineers, some are lawyers
and some are journalists. If you have information about such people, report them to the law
enforcement agencies. There are also some people who are bisexual and
they marry to cover up their activities, but at the end of the day we
know them.’

The news outlet, Behind the Mask, also reported cries of ’shame’ during Kundas statement, as well as laughter.
