Police are investigating a death threat made against a Minnesota state senator who voted against a ballot measure to ban same-sex marriage.

The letter addressed to Sen. Satveer Chaudhary contained a picture of Chaudhary with a bullet hole drawn on it. The picture was attached to a newspaper ad run by a group promoting the constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and civil unions.

The Department of Public Safety is trying to determine the origin of the letter but assistant commissioner Tim Leslie said there was no return address on the envelope.

In a media statement Chaudhary denounced the letter as political hate speech.

1. What the hell is wrong with people?

:grr:

3. it's odd that they hate gays because they think we're immoral

while preparing to beat us in the head with a shovel.

Just funny when they claim some weird moral superiority because of who they enjoy boinking more. Just like those white folks did about the black folks and then the Americans did about the immigrants and then and then and then.

Now they want to kill not just gays but people who refuse to hate gays. I wonder how many bodies that person has in his crawlspace. I wish I were being funny.

2. all the hateful anti-gay rhetoric is going to get people killed.

timothy mcveigh heard all the hate going on around him and did exactly as he was supposed to do.

the right wing uses it's people to affect certain conditions -- this is one of them.

it allows them to threaten and kill gay folk on the one hand and claim no responsibility on the other.
