'Gay conservative' threatens congressman's life

[TexasTowelie]

We here at Dallas Voice know a little bit about what it’s like to be harassed by “gay conservatives.” Just keep an eye on the comments on different blogs on our post to see what I mean (and keep in mind that we delete the nastiest, most homophobic, most transphobic and most racist comments).

But having said that, I have to admit that we have not gotten harassment and threats on this level:

U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, the straight, married Democrat representing California’s 15th congressional district, this week announced on Twitter that he had received a telephoned death threat from a man claiming to be a gay conservative, according to a report by Bil Browning for LGBTQ Nation.

“A staffer of mine — who’s 1 month into her job — received a call from a man saying he’s coming to our office w/ an assault rifle to kill me. I hesitate to share this but how else do I tell you we are in violent times, & the architects are Trump & [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy,” Swalwell tweeted Tuesday, Aug. 30. “Bloodshed is coming.”

1. This fucker should be in jail.

People who issue death threats should be arrested as soon as their identity is known. This is terrorism, and terrorists like this guy should be treated the same as any other terrorist.

2. RSO

All I can say is that someone who is both gay and conservative is a very confused and contradictory individual.

5. They say they are Gay but are they?

3. We don't accept these types into our community

They are a direct threat to us by voting against their own fucking interests. I will NEVER understand the whole trans conservative or gay conservative.

NEWS FLASH. They don't care you're on their side, they sure as hell don't think you're one of the "good" ones. You won't be protected if this country goes into some christofascist shithole. They'll lynch your asses next to us who tried to protect you're stupid dumbasses.
