Six years ago, on a cold October night on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyo., 21-year-old gay college student Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten, tied to a fence and left for dead. He was found 18 hours later and rushed to the hospital, where he lingered on the edge of death for nearly five days before succumbing to his injuries.The story garnered national attention when the attack was characterized as a hate crime. But Shepard's killers, in their first interview since their convictions, tell "20/20's" Elizabeth Vargas that money and drugs motivated their actions that night, not hatred of gays.While Shepard...

It does not matter so much what God thinks of sodomy [I have it on good report, that He does not think well of it, despite that modern liberal churches and synagogues have all but sanctified it], but how can the American people accept this new found glory in all things homosexual? Will they allow the Safe School Czar Jennings and his cohorts [members of of GLISN and NAMBLA] to thrust their USDA Approved buggery on public school children? Now that the Jenning' FistGate has been outed, proving that the Gay Lobby has, indeed, very diabolical plans to ramrod (forgive...

Editor's note: The following column is not appropriate reading material for children. It is not for squeamish adults. It contains graphic details of a heinous crime. In the news business, you've got to have a strong stomach. It's like being a cop. You get to see the darkest side of a dark world. And what you see, hear and read is often unforgettable – and not in a good way. The case of 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising continues to haunt me since I first wrote about it 10 years ago – before anyone else in the national press. The details of...

[CAPITALISMMAGAZINE.COM] "Jesse slowly suffocated and died." A jury heard those chilling words this week in the opening statement of a little-noticed Arkansas trial. A mother heard those heartbreaking words spoken about her 13-year-old son, Jesse Dirkhising, whom prosecutors say died at the hands of two men who raped and murdered the boy during a marathon torture session. The trial raises grave questions about society's increasing tolerance of gay pedophilia. But in New York and Los Angeles, the national press hounds were more interested in covering the trial of rap star Sean "Puffy" Combs than in reporting on the tragic death ...

Gay man claims Chester Muroski could have had ulterior reasons for executing a delay in a boy's adoption. HAZLETON - Don Murray was thrilled the day his adoption of an 11-year-old boy was approved, but he was far less happy with a Luzerne County judge he claims caused an unnecessary delay. Murray, who is gay, said he believes his sexuality prompted orphans court judge Chester Muroski to initially refuse to approve the adoption at an Oct. 18 hearing. Muroski halted the proceeding and appointed attorney John Bellino to review the case, resulting in a more than two-month delay. Muroski, through...

William SalisburyHis hands chained and cuffed together, his brown hair tangled and unkempt, his eyes ratcheted straight down to the wooden desktop in front of him, accused child rapist William Salisbury said nothing as he sat in court Monday. He didn't talk to his attorney. He didn't talk to the deputies leading him from the jail cell adjoining the courtroom to the defense table. As he walked to his seat, Salisbury merely looked at the gallery of people in the room, including two doctors subpoenaed to testify about how he's mentally ill. He sat down, stared downward and didn't...

A 13-year-old boy in Arkansas dies after a horrific sexual crime but much of the national media ignore the story. Conservative columnists and other critics think they know why — because the boy's accused killers are gay. "[The media] doesn't want the public to think about homosexuality and pedophilia and torture and the murder of children," says Don Feder, a conservative columnist at the Boston Herald. The boy, Jesse Dirkhising, was bound, drugged, tortured and raped for five hours before he died in 1999. Last month, a jury convicted Joshua Brown, 23, of rape and murder. Brown was sentenced to...

In their quest to "queer" America, radical homosexual activists in the media destroy lives, as they manipulate the principle of privacy, and make war on traditional masculinity, sports, and even the truth. In late April, Sen. Rick Santorum (R, Pa.) got a taste of what awaits anyone who opposes the gay agenda. After explaining to Associated Press reporter Lara Jakes Jordan (who is married to Sen. John Kerry’s (D, Ma.) campaign manager, Jim Jordan) his opposition to any pro-gay laws or court rulings that might weaken the family, gay activists demanded that Santorum resign. But the Santorum case was only...
