The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Wow... translated by iReporter Chris Pagan.

 


MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BOND SET FOR KILLER OF THE YOUNG HOMOSEXUAL VICTIM

Judge Madeline Vega of the Courts in Guayama, found cause for the arrest of Juan Martinez Matos for charges related to the killing of a young homosexual Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado, and his bond was set for 4 million dollars. (NO BONDSMAN IN PR OFFERS THAT AMOUNT)

The public prosecutor Yaritza Carrasquillo presented three charges under Article 505 violation of weapons charge, and a charge under Article 106 of the murder in first degree, for the cruel murder of a young 19 year old in Cidra, Puerto Rico.

The next court hearing for Martinez Matos was set for December 7 in the Courts of Caguas.

While the killer was being transported he was passed by Jorge's father and he stoped and asked for his forgiveness, and his father said "I already forgave you; you should ask God to forgive you".

As the killer was being transported out of the court he was departing from his family, during all that he was crying, and was then transported to las Cucharas Jail in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

"Thank God that justice has been served" the victim's father said to the agent in charge of the matter.  Angel Rodriguez has done a fast and efficient job in this case.

Martinez Matos confessed to the horrific urder of Jorge Steven who he decapitated, desmember, burned and finally threw his body into the area of Guevate in Cayey.

Below the fold, more details of Matos' confession via 365gay.com, including that Matos thought Lopez Mercado was a woman.

From 365gay


Martinez Matos was "looking for women" in a red light district last Friday. He had already been turned down several times, but Lopez Mercado, wearing a blue dress and boots, agreed to get in his car.

District Attorney Jose J. Bermudez says that in his confession, Martinez Matos said that he thought Lopez Mercado was a woman. The victim asked him for money and when he refused, Lopez Mercado pulled out a knife.  When Martinez Matos realized that the teenager was actually male, he had a flashback to when he was raped in prison while he was serving a sentence for domestic violence. He then attacked Lopez Mercado, separating his arms from his torso.

Police found a wig, a knife, a burned mattress, a burned PVC pipe and blood on the wall where the murder took place.

The forensic evidence is being investigated by the FBI. Though they have not specified charges yet, the DA says that he is sure this qualifies as a hate crime.

-----------------------------

Juan Costa Rivera, a 365gay reader who knows Lopez Mercado's friends, says that the local PR press is reporting that the suspect's house was radied by police, where they found a burned mattress and pvc pope, a wig, two knives and a "big blood stain on a wall."  The suspect confessed to police, saying he was looking for prostitutes in a red light district in Caguas. Basically, Rivera says:


"After being rejected by a few women, he saw Jorge dressed as a woman and asked him to go with him to the house. Apparently on the house, the suspect found out that Lopez was a man, after Lopez made sexual advantages, and as a result of the rage, he did what he did."

Rivera says the police told media outlets that the suspect will likely use a "homosexual panic" defense, arguing for a plea of temporary insanity.

Horrifying...
And just goes to show how dangerous this country still is for LGBT citizens. If we can't even go out without risking death...

Act on Principles and make equality happen.  

good keep him in a cage til he DIES!

I'm supposedly
a staunch liberal, but I'm a death penalty advocate in this case.

And what's up with the freaking rosary? A religious sympathy card?


[ Parent ]
I disagree...
but only because I know of so many things that are worse than death.

as an athiest
I can agree to some extent, the "life on earth is hell" concept. . .at some point, I hope that the judicial system accepts the views of this family and extended family.

I have no dog in this fight, other than my sheer horror.


[ Parent ]
Since he's confessed
I see no need to feed him for 60 years, give him a shot full of a slow painful poison. I'd go further and harvest any useful organs while he's alive.

Panic defense
makes no sense to me whatsoever. . .Although I can count on one hand the number of times a person got the wrong message. . .not once did I have "straight panic" or think that the appropriate response was violence.

[ Parent ]
what ever happened to saying NO THANK YOU?

how about
"what part of "I'm gay" didn't you understand really?"  . . . ."really".

About the Rosary
Those of you who were raised as Catholics know that the Rosary is not to be worn around the neck.  Even Nuns don't wear them around their neck.  Some orders wear them suspended from their waist.

It has become a gang symbol to wear a rosary around the neck.  However, because it is a religious symbol, prisons have been unable to squelch this practice.  I'd be willing to bet this guy has a gang affiliation, even if he hasn't been incarcerated prior to this.

This is somewhat off topic
but, I'm wondering why there's no coverage here concerning the murder of Jason Mattison in Baltimore?

"Many unanswered questions in killing of youth"
Many, many unanswered questions.

African American Gay Teen Slaughtered in Baltimore

Baltimore, MD - A 15-year-old African American sophomore who was open to his classmates about his sexual orientation was found Tuesday, November 10 stuffed in a closet in his aunt's house, raped, gagged with a pillowcase, and stabbed multiple times in the head and throat.  The Baltimore Sun reports that Dante Parrish, 35, a convicted felon who knew Mattison and his family, was arrested on November 12 at a convenience store, and charged with first-degree murder

um... gay panic?
They're still going on gay panic?

What's he gonna say tonite? Because PR prisons are way violent places that are known for male on male rape.

I don't think PR even has the death penelty... thank god. Let this guy relive every horrific day being raped. I'm sure for him that will be his personal hell.


and
I suppose we should "thank god" for? Which one?

I know it's an expression. . .I use it myself, but I don't think ANY god had a hand in this sickness.


[ Parent ]
The most important sterp for us all now
is to monitor the DOJ to make certain they do their job and do not permit a gay panic defense to be entered, much less to win.

Cynic, n.  A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.  

-Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary



Don't care
I don't care that he cried to Mercado's daddy and asked forgiveness.  Look at that face.  Look!  That is the face of pure evil.

Let him rot in prison and spend the rest of his days as the prison puta.


". . . a young homosexual . . ."?
If Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado was wearing a dress and boots, and the killer thought he was a woman, then he (or she, we don't know from the media, of course) was trans.  I will assume the feminine since she was wearing women's clothing when she died.

It seems that, once again, a trans woman has been murdered and her identity has been erased by the media.  From my reading of this story for the past few days, it seems the GLB community hasn't been very careful of her truth either.  Another addition to this year's list of the dead that will be acknowledged tomorrow is bad enough.  To have our own community not take notice of her identity adds insult to her grievous injury.
