First, I do not know if the following "death threats" were made or not. There has been so much hate coming from the the "christian" right and their credibility is running pretty low.
I do know with emotions running high the LGBTQ community must continue to take the high road. We cannot afford to meet the religious "wrong" at their level of hate and bigotry.

The death threat was apparently related to the recent win on Question 1, which revoked the right of homosexuals to be married in Maine.The caller said the following:“I am calling about Mr. Mike Heath, the Executive of your Christian Civic League of Maine. He thinks that gay people should have our rights revoked that we already have. Well I can tell him this – I’m a gay guy who owns guns, and he’s my next target.”The call was the latest and most serious example of intimidation by homosexual rights supporters after the win on same sex marriage. The League withheld publishing comments from homosexual rights supporters since the referendum vote, for fear the comments would be too offensive for our readers.....
