It seems some Americans are not for Pete's 'truth'
In response to Peter LaBarbera's one-sided assessments about an alleged hate crime in Illinois, one of our regular readers followed Pete's advice and wrote to Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz about the matter. In a comment that reader has left on our post on the subject, he now gives us some insight into the vacuum into which Pete is screaming:
I went to AFTAH's website and followed their links to [Julia Rietz] and here's what she wrote:
Mr. OZed,
Thank you for your e-mail. Although they continue to send e-mails and make calls, I am not at all interested in the opinions of Mr. LaBarbera and his followers. They do not know the facts, do not understand the law, and are not my constituents.
Sincerely,
Julia Rietz
So fret not, kids. It seems that when it comes to the anti-gay community's organized spin, we gay activists are far from the only ones who recognize what's going on.
*The comment was left here: Gays are anti-religion, says he who keeps religion anti-gay [G-A-Y]
Your thoughts
I think I now have a crush on Julia Rietz. This is wonderful. Thanks to OZed for writing to her!

Wow, fascinating, (and sad, and frightening) unfoldment of events there. But I'm so glad for Julia Rietz's strong and fair response to this.
Let the healing begin.
