Aw, Susie.... You're right. This should NEVER happen. The website refuses to let me see the whole article without turning my ad blocker off or paying a fee.... Do the police suspect homicide or suicide?
One of my family members came out last Christmas.... Another came out a few weeks ago.... So it hits home.
The suspicion is suicide. There is no indication of foul play.

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
That would be a tragedy in itself, but of a different kind. I hope this person has found peace.

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Well, this should settle things once and for all.
This 66-Year-Old Woman Is Suing All Gay People—Yes, All of Them
BY NOLAN FEENEY - MAY 6, 2015 12:16 PM EDT
(TIME) A Nebraska woman is suing every gay person on Earth and asking a federal judge to rule on whether homosexuality is a sin.
Sylvia Driskell, 66, describes herself as an ambassador of “God, And His, Son Jesus Christ [sic]” and will serve as her own lawyer in Driskell v. Homosexuals, NBC News reports. In her seven-page petition, written entirely in cursive, Driskell doesn’t reference any case laws for U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard to consider, but she does quote the Bible and Webster’s Dictionary.
“I never thought that I would see a day in which our great nation or our own great state of Nebraska would become so compliant to the complicity of some people[’s] lewd behavior,” writes Driskell, who says “that homosexuality is a sin and that they the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a life of homosexuality. Why else would they have been hiding in the closet.”
Gay activist and columnist Dan Savage, one of the many millions of people being sued, has signaled he’d be willing to take the stand.

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
There sure are a lot of people deeply interested in other people's sex lives.

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Look at the part of the country that she's from. Those folks can make Southern Baptists around here look like libruls.

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Yeah, she would be most welcome in Indiana, too.
Ugh.
My two family members who are also gay, I'm sure, would be PLEASED to take the stand against this woman.
Good grief.

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
My son's brother-in-law is gay and a great guy. I've really enjoyed meeting and being around him.

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
That's just it. It is only one aspect of who they are.
He's brown.
She's a woman.
He's a pianist.
She's a doctor.
He's a grandfather.
She's a gardener.
He's gay.
She's a card player.
We ALL have a bunch of characteristics that describe us. Who are we to demonize who a person is?

Re: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Yet another reason not to visit Nebraska. Although I will confess to a wish to watch the sand hill cranes migrate through there...
