“If I ever see this girl, I will kill her. That’s a promise.” This is just one example of the vile death threats being leveled against a 14 year-old girl who testified in defense of traditional marriage last month before the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.
The TFP Student Action blog is reporting that young Sarah Crank delivered a calm and truthful testimony to the committee, without using any harsh or condemning language.
“I really feel bad for the kids who have two parents of the same gender,” she said. “Even though some kids think it’s fine, they have no idea what kind of wonderful experiences they miss out on. I don’t want more kids to get confused about what’s right and okay. I really don’t want to grow up in a world where marriage isn’t such a special thing anymore.”
She goes on to question the wisdom of allowing the government to change the definition of words such as marriage. “It’s rather scary to think that when I grow up the legislature or the court can change the definition of any word they want. If they could change the definition of marriage then they could change the definition of any word.”
She adds: “People have the choice to be gay, but I don’t want to be affected by their choice. People say that they were born that way, but I’ve met really nice adults who did change. So please vote ‘no’ on gay marriage. Thank you.”
This short and sweet statement has generated a flood of hate speech and death threats from pro-homosexual blogs and websites. The following is a brief sample of some of these statements:
“And now everyone knows her name, so hopefully she will feel what its like to be harassed and bullied…” reads a comment posted on LGBTNation.com
From YouTube: “My god I hate people like this. Most (not all) Americans are [expletive] retards. If I ever see this girl, I will kill her. That’s a promise.”
Other entries: “Her parents should be exterminated.”
“The [sic] is why abortion must stay legal – to prevent little bigots like this from being born…”
“Kill this child and his [sic] parent, for my 11 birthday would be a wonderful gift, thanks.”
“Her belief is hurting other people. I will attack her as much as I please.”
“Parents like hers should be sterilized…”
“I’m gonna kill ‘er!”
“The vitriolic tone of over 2,600 comments posted on The Huffington Post alone, reveal how the ‘tolerance’ promoted by the homosexual movement is anything but tolerant, nothing more than an empty slogan to silence most Americans,” writes TFP.
“In fact, hundreds of additional comments posted across the blogosphere demonstrate just how willing pro-homosexual activists are to deny traditional marriage supporters their freedom of speech.”
A same-sex marriage bill is expected to pass by legislative fiat in the state of Maryland this week. Even though Catholic Governor Martin O’Malley has already promised to sign it into law, a movement is already underway to have the matter put on the ballot for the people’s vote in November.
