gay rights activist who won a 1992 court judgment against the Oregon Citizens Alliance and its antigay founder, Lon Mabon, has filed a new lawsuit against the group in an effort to collect that debt. A Multnomah County, Ore., jury found that Scott Lively, the OCA's former communications director, had used unreasonable force in ejecting gay rights activist Catherine Stauffer from an antigay event. Stauffer, seeking to collect more than $30,000 awarded her from the initial case, contends that the alliance and other organizations fraudulently transferred assets in an attempt to avoid paying the judgment. The suit includes Joseph and Glenva Chotard of Bend as defendants. Thane Tienson, a lawyer for Stauffer, said Tuesday that the suit named the Chotards because they purchased a piece of property from an OCA-related organization called the United States Citizens Alliance. The property, in Brooks, includes a building where Mabon and his wife, Bonnie, live and operate the OCA. Tienson said it is "the only piece of property available to satisfy the judgment." Joseph Chotard was on the board of the United States Citizens Alliance and bought the property for $320,000, the suit says. The Mabons remain on the property. Lon Mabon said the Chotards did purchase the property, but he called the new lawsuit "a continuation of an abusive process" by gay rights activists aimed at "draining the OCA of its energy and finances."

He is the biggest threat to society here in Oregon, he is
the reason for some of the hateful religious right wing ignorant

people.

2. Sounds like a good cause to me.

And there is a court finding to back it up.

3. Nuttier than a squirrel turd

Lon Mabon should be in jail (again).

Scott Lively assaulted Ms. Stauffer. She was awarded $30,000 in a lawsuit. She has been waiting more than a decade to collect the money she is entitled to.

I've seen the OCA HQ. It's a craphole, but it's worth 30 grand.

The Mabons seem to think they can just switch their assets from the OCA to the USCA.

Oregon voters defeated Measure 9 (1992) and Measure 13 (1994) which were blatant anti-gay attacks.

I hope Catherine Stauffer someday receives what she is entitled to, but I'm not optimistic that she will.
