The Family That Beats Up Gays Together Stays Together

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — Three children from the same family are in juvenile custody after allegedly attacking a Missouri woman, and the victim believes she was targeted because she is gay.

The Southeast Missourian (http://bit.ly/QoSkT6 ) reports that Jeana Terry, 41, and her partner Lisa Lange were inside their home July 24 when a 16-year-old girl who lives nearby allegedly began shouting anti-gay slurs. The girl then allegedly gathered her 13-year-old sister and 11-year-old brother, went to Terry’s porch and pulled her outside when she came to the door, according to authorities.

“Once I was down, it was pure chaos,” Terry said, describing being repeatedly kicked and hit.

Gee, maybe they have learned it from the adults in the area.  I mean, why not celebrate afterwards with a Chick-Fil-A sandwich?  I personally don't allow fast food places to affect my beliefs, but it would be hard to deny that it's become the chosen church of the heterosexual bigot.

These kids aren't confused, they are reacting to what they see.  What they're being taught.  Their mother is trying to say the women started it, but witness accounts tell a different story.

“They were kicking, stomping and beating the hell out of her,” neighbor Mima Poole said.

Terry said she may need eye surgery and still suffers from bruising, nausea and dizziness.

Those aren't the actions of scared kids fleeing from an antagonistic adult.  Those are the actions of kids acting out on what they think is acceptable behavior towards gays.  If ever we needed proof that discrimination shouldn't be tolerated, this is it.
