| A homosexual activist website in San Diego has published a threatening message directed specifically at a prominent ex-homosexual and more generally against other Christians activists. Hillquest, a homosexual-oriented business promotion company, published the anonymous threat against James Hartline, who produces an email newsletter circulated through the Christian community in San Diego, and others like him. The message was signed only by "A Concerned Community Member." "Now is the time to come together, to reconcile our differences that we all tout and to once again march under the same banner," said the message. "The moment was never riper for the San Diego (LGBT) community to push for the elimination and suppression of the James Hartline's (sic) of the world. We currently have an openly lesbian (interim) mayor of San Diego and an openly gay mayor of Chula Vista; PEOPLE....WE are in POWER! WE are IN CHARGE!" Hartline characterized the publication of such a letter as "one of the most shocking examples of just how hateful and venomous are the attitudes of gays and lesbians towards Christians who are standing up for traditional family values." The Hillquest website is operated by Ann Garwood and Nancy Moors. It is not the first time the site has targeted Christian activist Hartline. The website includes a "James Hartline Watch" page to monitor the activities of the private citizen. "It’s time to take care of the source of our problem, James Hartline, Hartline, meanwhile, is asking San Diegans and others to pressure law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to investigate the threats. "Publishing death threats on Hillquest is a prosecutable offense," he says. But remember, they are for tolerance. |

| #4 Only one quibble. Once you start publishing a news letter, personal website or blog you are no longer just a private citizen. Remember that. |

| #3 There is a small, sensible voice out there for homosexuals. Not Christian, and not trying to "turn" them from homosexuality. Instead, it suggests that they watch out for signs of cult-like behaviors in the gay community. That is, pushing them to only have gay friends; insisting that they have to contribute to "the community"; trying to get them to adopt "us vs. them" attitudes with heterosexuals, to openly demeaning and despising heteros with spiteful jokes and hate speech. All told, adopting the "victim" role so beloved by other (perpetually) "victimized" minorities. As with the latter group, this is an effort by their self-appointed leaders to get wealth and power. As a movement, it pushes not for equality, but for preferences in the name of equality, and not just acceptance, but indulgence. Many of the more freakish homosexuals join these groups both to prey on the more normal homosexuals, and to hide behind them when their freakishness is condemned. |

| #2 Frank, "Hartline, meanwhile, is asking San Diegans and others to pressure law enforcement" That's your city and you better be on the look out. The gay Shari'a is coming to a city near you. Please, don't bend over to feed the zoo animals. |
