Dear Kristy and family, I will pray for you all, for a full recovery, for peace and protection, and for justice. I pray that the officers who assaulted Chad, and the administration who condoned the assault, will learn that every human life has value, and whether we are gay or straight, we deserve to socialize in public without the threat of grave injury. My opinion is that these officers should be prosecuted as far as the law allows. My hope is that new legislation will arise making it a crime to even THINK about hurting someone just because they’re different. I know I live in a dream world, but the dream is so much better than the reality. God bless you all, and give your mom a big hug for me.

I have a question for “pro police, against police” : Would people be less likely to defend the police and their actions if it was a racially related hate crime? WHy is it still allowable in society for a crime to be perpetrated because of sexual orientation? I live in Louisiana and I’m painfully aware of the bigotry and prejudice in the south, but it doesn’t have to be this way and I really hope that the attention focused on FW shows that this was never acceptable, and will not be tolerated. How tragically ironic that this happened so close to the anniversary of Stonewall. Chad and your family are in my prayers, Kristy

Dear Kristy, Chard and members of Chad’s family and friends
News of the Rainbow Lounge incident has spread throughout the world.
Please know that many of us are thinking of you in this difficult time, and have written to the mayor and councilmembers asking for a full and independent investigation.
You are not alone and we stand watch with you in the hope that justice will be done.

Chad’s plight and the questionable nature of the raid are getting some national attention. There is a front page posting on the story at michaelmoore.com, and I was asked to appear on the nationally-syndicated Thom Hartmann radio show on Tuesday at 1:15pm CDT. We did a full segment on the glaring discrepancies between the initial police reports to the press about “sexually explicit moves” toward uniformed officers (preposterous), and the eyewitness accounts which we at 1360 Rational Radio have been covering since Sunday afternoon on the Jackie Jett Show. The Rational Radio Report, which airs from 7-9am CDT, will continue to update Chad’s condition and the status of the current investigation. Anyone wishing to contribute additional information may do so by calling (214)631-1360. Let us know if you do not wish to go on the air.
Those who do nothing in the face of injustice can expect little more than the same.
What’s Past is Prologue.
