Las Vegas Man Charged For Terrorist Threats To Kill “Gays, Faggots, Lesbians and Satanists”

Yesterday, in my town of Las Vegas, a 24 year old nut job named Bryce Cuellar was indicted for making terrorists threats including saying he wanted to kill “gays, faggots, lesbians and satanists.”

The radical, self-proclaimed “Christian warrior” posted a video to his YouTube channel (160,000 subscribers!) on July 2nd that outlined his plans.

From KTNV in Las Vegas:

Although Google had removed the video, they were able to provide a link for a detective to watch the video.

In the video, a man named Bryce Cuellar reportedly showed off two rifles and was wearing a military flak vest and night vision goggles. Cuellar reportedly said in the video that he is tired of the government trying to take away his First and Second Amendment rights and says that he cannot wait to use his rifle in the manner in which the founding fathers intended.

He also said that he wanted to kill “gays, faggots, lesbians and satanists” and claimed to be a Christian warrior. Cuellar also said that he is tired of America and would begin killing soon. Police also checked his Facebook page and found posts about the Orlando shooting and posts that outlines his anti-government, sovereign citizen and militia ideologies.

To give you an idea of Cuellar’s sensibility, this from his Facebook page:

The U.S. Government is now officially the enemy, and must be destroyed. They are murdering men,women, and children by dumping biological chemicals in our air which contains organisms that DON’T originate on earth…..that’s right, you read correctly, unearthly biological matter is killing us off!! The U.S. Government is now public enemy #1. America’s most wanted.

Arrow/Teen Wolf Star Colton Haynes To Be Honored With HRC’s “Visibility Award”

Colton Haynes

The Human Rights Campaign announced today that Colton Haynes (Teen Wolf, Arrow) will be honored for his work on behalf of LGBTs with the organization’s Visibility Award this year’s Annual Gala event in Seattle tomorrow night.

Via press release:

“Colton Haynes has inspired countless LGBTQ young people across the country and around the world to live their lives as their authentic selves,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “By simply being open about who he is, Haynes is helping to break down barriers and tear down closet doors. We are pleased he will be joining us at the 17th Annual HRC Seattle Gala, and we are proud to honor him with the HRC Visibility Award.”

Haynes, who recently came out publicly as gay in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, said, “I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and healthier than I’ve ever been, and that’s what I care about.”

Haynes also recently participated in a video released by HRC paying tribute to the 49 victims of the Orlando shooting at Pulse nightclub. The 18-minute tribute — directed by Emmy Award-winning Ryan Murphy and Ned Martel, with the support of their colleagues at Ryan Murphy Television — features a diverse cast of 49 actors, directors and other entertainment leaders recounting individual stories of the people killed in our nation’s deadliest mass shooting.

In addition to Teen Wolf and Arrow, Haynes has been featured on Fox’s The Grinder and ABC’s The Gates.

National Gay & Lesbian Chamber Of Commerce Endorses Hillary Clinton For President

The nation’s largest LGBT business association, the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, has unanimously endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president.

This is the first time the group has endorsed a candidate for president in it’s 15 year history.

In a statement to Buzzfeed News, Clinton said she welcomed the endorsement:

“The stakes in this election could not be higher for LGBT Americans,” Clinton said. “When Donald Trump says he’ll ‘make America great again,’ that’s code for ‘take America backwards.’ He has said he would appoint judges who would overturn marriage equality.”

The board of the LGBT chamber of commerce — which represents roughly 1.4 million LGBT business owners and has about 150 corporate and government partners — approved its resolution unanimously at a conference this week in Palm Springs, California.

In its resolution, the group praised Clinton for denouncing “LGBT discrimination as not only morally wrong, but fundamentally destructive for business.” The resolution rejected Trump’s policies, saying he has “vowed to revoke LGBT inclusive executive orders on his first day in office.”

Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump, has famously said in recent months that he would be better for LGBT Americans (“ask the gays!”), while at the same time saying that if elected he would appoint judges to the Supreme Court that would overturn the historic Obergefell decision that brought marriage equality to the entire nation.

Viral Tweet Of The Day

Some free advice – moments after you decide to start following your professor, don’t call him out as a “faggot.”

From Gay Star News:

Dr Eric Mendenhall is an assistant professor in Genomics and Epigenetics at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

He picked up on the tweet, in which his student called him a faggot, although his Twitter handle wasn’t used – and immediately replied in the best way.

‘I don’t condone use of that term & it has nothing to do with my ability to teach you genetics,’ Mendenhall wrote.

‘See you Thursday.’

As the tweet took off, Mendenhall used the chance to teach his followers another lesson: ‘Each generation shedding some of the hate and bigotry of their parents’ generation is a key part of being human.’

In conversations with a number of replies, he said all other University of Alabama students had been ‘wonderful’ since he started teaching there three years ago.

He also offered any queer STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) students the opportunity to talk to him should they have problems.

‘I got your back with peers like this,’ Mendenhall tweeted.

Apparently, the student had just started following Dr. Mendenhall when he sent the anti-gay tweet out.

Within an hour the student made his account private, and soon after he deleted the account.

The exchange has been “liked” over 20K and retweeted over 16K times.

By the way, the professor made a point to say the comment would not affect grades.

Pastor Ken “Pulse Nightclub Gays Got What They Deserve” Adkins Arrested For Child Molestation

Pastor Ken Adkins, who earlier this summer tweeted that the folks killed in the Pulse Nightclub massacre got “what they deserve,” has been arrested this morning for child molestation.

From the local CBS affiliate:

A Georgia pastor and and conservative political activist was arrested Friday morning on charges of child molestation and aggravated child molestation.

Ken Adkins, 56, of St. Simons Island turned himself into police at about 9 a.m., according to officials with Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

GBI was requested on Aug. 12 to assist officials with the accusations against Adkins. Adkins is currently in the Glynn County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing. Adkins has one church with locations in Brunswick, Jacksonville and Atlanta, according to his website.

Adkins recently came under fire when he tweeted “homosexuals got what they deserved” after the deadly mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub. His Twitter account has been set to private.

Why is it always these super-religious zealots that end up being the child predators?

Maine Gov. Paul LePage Goes On Gay Slur Rant To State Democratic Legislator

Maine Gov. Paul LePage is getting attention this morning after a recorded phone call he made has come to light.

In the phone call, made to Democratic State Rep. Drew Gattine on Thursday, the bombastic Republican ripped off a series of gay slurs in an angry rant.

Via CNN:

“Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” the audio recording says. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you (obscene term). I want to talk to you. I want you to prove that I’m a racist. I’ve spent my life helping black people and you little (obscene term), socialist (obscene term). You — I need you to — just friggin’. I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”

It may come as no surprise that LePage is an ardent supporter of Donald Trump.

In an interview today, the governor also said if this were 1825 he would challenge Gattine to a duel and shoot him between the eyes.

He seems nice, huh?

Eric Trump: Dad Ran For President Because Folks Stopped Calling It A “Christmas Tree”

Speaking to right-winger James Robison earlier this week, Eric Trump explained several of the “reasons” why his dad is running for president.

Along the way, Eric erroneously says that the National Christmas Tree has been renamed “Holiday Tree.”

“He opens up the paper each morning and sees our nation’s leaders giving a hundred billion dollars to Iran, or he opens the paper and some new school district has just eliminated the ability for its students to say the pledge of allegiance, or some fire department in some town is ordered by the mayor to no longer fly the American flag on the back of a fire truck,” Trump told James Robison in an interview posted this week.

“Or he sees the tree on the White House lawn has been renamed ‘Holiday tree’ instead of ‘Christmas tree,’” continued Trump. “I could go on and on for hours. Those are the very things that made my father run, and those are the very things he cares about.”

Psst, Eric – that’s not true.

Eric also says he thinks his dad should get extra credit for running since he really “does not need the job.”

Reading through the interview, you can’t help but notice Eric really likes the phrase, “There’s no question…” He uses it over and over again in the span of a few minutes.

What is it about Trump’s and their love affair with absolutes?
