Iowa Man Sends ‘Anthrax’ Letter To Iowa Gay Bar: ‘Hopefully You’ll Die’

"Last year, an Arizona pastor told his congregation that we could rid the world of AIDS “by Christmas” if we executed every single LGBT individual. In 2013, a Tea Party candidate in Oklahoma said we should stone gay people.
“I think we would be totally in the right to do it,” Tea Partier Scott Esk wrote. “That goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and I’m largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.” Esk later clarified that God did, indeed, encourage humans to stone gays, but “I have no plans to reinstitute that in Oklahoma law.”
These are but a couple of examples of the extremist right-wing propaganda machine that encourages men like Weithorn to terrorize the LGBT community. While we do have the right to believe as we choose, freedom of speech is not absolute. It’s time to end the hate."
