Cheyenne Williams, the lesbian Kentucky teen almost thrown off a cliff by three female classmates, was subjected to the assault because a pact made by the other girls to beat the homosexuality out of her, says the Kentucky Equality Federation. Corinne Schwab and Ashley Sams, as well as the unidentified 17-year-old suspect, allegedly gave Williams six months to turn straight — an ultimatum they apparently never told Williams about. Meanwhile, Kentucky State Police detectives say they haven’t found any evidence this was a hate crime; in the state, it is a judge who must make that determination, relays Lez Get Real, although the new Matthew Shepard Act could elevate the investigation to the federal level. Meanwhile, at the high school these girls all attend, a few years ago a student brought a gun to school allegedly to shoot two lesbian classmates.
UPDATE: The suspects’ attorneys are claiming Williams was in on an an elaborate prank.

Omg they still aren’t sure if it’s a hate crime? WHAT?!
I don’t know about this. Crap I’m more and more hoping to win the lottery so I can move to Spain where all LBG and T have full equal rights.
I love America but damn the ppl running it whether Dems or Reps at any given time are f’nkng a-holes. At least w Republicans we know where we’re at but with friends like (lying, deceptive, betraying) Dems who needs enemies.
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White citizens’ “Councilor” or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action” who paternistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a ‘more convenient season.’ Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail

Prank my ass, get the feds in to investigate under Matthew Sheppard if the locals aren’t going to care enough to investigate this.

Hopefully if the city/State won’t investigate and treat it as a hate crime, that this young Lesbian has enough balls to get higher authorities involved to have this investigated under Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes. That legislation wasn’t passed for nothing, and no one is exempt from the feds taking over an investigation. The one and only thing Obamamama has done for us in likely one term.
