I’m glad they caught the homophobic harasser, but I hope the harasser is charged and convicted for their crimes, and their name ultimately becomes public so good people can avoid associating with the harasser.

The suspect has not yet been named. The next step is for police to bring the evidence before a local clerk magistrate, who will decide whether criminal charges are warranted.

Someone used the mail to harass someone. Maybe it’s a stretch, but you’d think the Postal Inspector might want to look into charges?

The Postal Inspection Service is specially trained to respond to suspicious mailings, including suspicious substances, suspicious items, and suspected explosive devices. We also conduct rigorous investigations into threatening communications to government officials, religious organizations, foreign embassies, news media, and other targeted individuals and groups.

Mixed bag from USSC this session. Voter suppression is A-OK, but don’t discriminate against LGBTQ Americans. We just keep on trucking, I guess.

FWIW, my hope for this thread wasn’t that it would only be unalloyed wins - that would only serve to make allies feel better - but to document the good fight and the people speaking truth to power. Your post absolutely belongs. Thank you for sharing it.
