Yesterday, I reported that I was a victim of a hate crime.
As I noted in a post yesterday, a demented homophobe - who hides behind the "mask" of the stage name "Lone Wolf Sullivan" - slurred me to a third-party in an e-mail (supported by documentary evidence) and thereafter (by his own admission) sought to "destroy" my name and reputation on the Internet.

For good reason, I was forced to file a complaint with the FBI Cyber Crimes unit to ask that an investigation be launched with the specific aim of a criminal charge for a "hate crime" (pursuant to Federal Law) be brought against Lone Wolf Sullivan.
Coincidentally, on the heels of these events, the Los Angeles Times published an article in the morning paper noting that "hate crimes" are on the rise against gays around the country.
A National Coalition of hate-crime organizations has reported that there has been a 13% increase over 2009 in violent crimes committed against people because of their perceived or actual sexual orientation, gender identity, or status as HIV positive.
Last year's homicide counts reached 27 (up from 22 in 2009) and were the second-highest total since the coalition began tracking such crimes in 1996. Of those killed, 70% were minorities and 44% were transgender women.
Part of the blame may be placed on people like Michele Bachmann and her husband who have been projecting (and promoting) negative images of homosexuals and gay lifestyles over the past couple of decades.
In fact, a controversy exploded in the media just yesterday when it was determined that Michele Bachmann condoned her husband's "trauma therapy" designed to allegedly convert homosexuals to a straight sexual orientation against their basic animal instincts (which every human experiences to the core of their being).
Experts in the medical field - all across the board - have condemned the stance taken by the Presidential candidate and her husband on the grounds that homosexuality should not be treated as a pathology as it once was way back in the fifties (!).
The general medical consensus today?
It is unhealthy - and may be more harmful to an individual - to force them to deny their natural sexual yearnings.
Although "hate crimes" might be expected from homophobes like "Lone Wolf Sullivan" and Michele Bachmann - believe it or not - the outrageous attacks also sprout from unexpected places, too.
In Law Enforcement, for instance.
Officers at the Nevada Highway Patrol - and a State Attorney General - engaged in hate crimes against me, too.
Readers may recall that a few months ago I filed a complaint against officers at the Nevada Highway Patrol for misconduct, abuse of authority, and rights violations.
Shortly after the investigation commenced, on two occasions, anonymous individual(s) attempted to post comments on my blog (the Tattler) which were replete with slurs.
For instance, in one "comment" the anonymous individual called me a "fag". In another, I was referred to as a "West Hollywood Queer".
Unfortunately for the anonymous "poster", I was able to determine who the perpetrators were because they included information which was exclusive to individuals involved with the investigation.
Subsequently, I was able to narrow the list of suspects involved with the "hate crimes" down to four individuals: Nevada Highway Patrol State Trooper Del Padre, Sergeant Charles Haycox, Chief Tony Almaraz, and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto.
In view of the evidence in my possession aappropriate action is underway.
Bottom line?
If you have ever been a victim of a hate crime it is important that you take action by filing a criminal complaint with Law Enforcement (the FBI) to deter such conduct in the future.
By the way, there are other steps you can take, too.
For instance, I have learned that "Lone Wolf Sullivan" is flogging a book on Amazon.
I intend to contact the Executive Offices of Amazon and express my rage over the fact that they are conducting business with an individual who engages in hate crimes against gays on the Internet.
I trust that if they are reasonable individuals that they will pull the book and end their contracts with Lone Wolf Sullivan.
That is a fair and just action to take in a civilized society in view of the facts in my estimation.
Have a great day, eh?
