Chuck,
I'm not clear on what it was about the petition that you opposed. Could you
explain further?
Miriam

Subject: [blind-democracy] Re: FW: Gay panic
actually there is another side to this. As a gay male I know that there are men
who actually will deceive other people in how they pose or dress as a means of
concealing their real sexual identity. There are people who when confronted by
this deception will react in such a way that could result in violence toward
the perpetrator of such a ruse. I think that this type of deception is
unconscionable and having been a counselor for years and working in the legal
defense field I know people that would be shocked or insulted that they would
lose control and act accordingly. As a gay man I opposed the legislation in
California that was ultimately passed for this reason in addition that people
that deceive others give a bad name to the group that they are trying to claim.
Now I know that this opinion doesn’t fit in to the idea that progressives need
to tolerant any aberrant behavior engaged in by a so-called minority class but
the bottom line I am upset more that a personally will hide their sexual
identity to entrap a person in order to engage in sex act rather than a
defendant who reacts to this can’t use any defense possible and let a jury
decide so when I got this petition in my in-box I hastily deleted it without
signing.

Hi all,
Here’s one that shocked me and that’s hard to do these days. Can you believe
that in 49 states, homophobes can use “gay panic” as self-defense?
Now, That’s American injustice at its best!

When I first heard of the “panic defense,” I was shocked. A legal defense that
asserts that feeling panicked at an LGBT person’s romantic advances justifies
assault or murder? And it’s legal? It turns out that it is a permissible
defense in 49 out of 50 states, and has been used to fight or reduce many
people’s charges.
I heard about it in the 2008 murder case of 15-year-old Larry King in
California. He had asked Brandon McInerney to be his valentine. McInerney came
to school later that day and shot King two times in the back of the head. When
McInerney went to court for his crime, he used the gay panic defense. Because
of this, McInerney received only a lesser second degree murder sentence.
The panic defense is anti-LGBT, anti-civil rights, and anti-American. Please
join me in calling on Utah state lawmakers to ban the panic defense, in hopes
that other states follow suit.
And young Larry King was just one of many victims whose murders didn’t get the
justice they deserved because of this grossly prejudicial defense. We can’t let
this go on in a free country. California recently made good on a promise not to
let such a miscarriage of justice happen again. In 2014, it became the first
(and only) state to officially ban the “panic defense” in court. It’s time for
the other 49 states to follow suit. Please call on Utah state officials to ban
the panic defense in Utah courts. We must not stop fighting this travesty of
justice until it is outlawed in all 50 states.
