This just in: Convicted gay basher Kathryn Knott is engaged to be married! And the couple is registered at Macy’s!
An online wedding registry for Kathryn Knott and Shane Rudolf of Southampton, PA–located in Bucks County, PA–appeared online last week.
The secretive registry contains virtually no information about the couple, other than their names, location, and when the ceremony will be held.
So we did a little sleuthing.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Since serving jail time for her involvement in the brutal beating of an innocent gay couple, Knott, who is from Bucks County, PA, has been keeping a very low profile. She hasn’t given any interviews and has absolutely no presence–zero, zip, zilch–on social media. It’s almost like she doesn’t exist. Weird, huh?
Her fiancee, on the other hand, is slightly more visible.
We quickly found Shane Rudolf on LinkedIn. According to his profile, he goes by the name “Rudy” and is the Director of Marketing at Advanced ENT, an Ear, Nose and Throat practice, in the Greater Philadelphia Area:
The profile also states that he graduated with a degree in Business from Saint Vincent College in 2012, where he played on the school’s Lacrosse team.

From there, we did some more sleuthing. We learned that Shane/Rudy has a Twitter account, @rednose_rudy, but he hasn’t written any tweets yet. He also has an Instagram page, also @rednose_rudy, but it’s set to private:
But even the strictest privacy settings aren’t fool-proof. Because back in April, Instagram user @linstagrom tagged @rednose_rudy in a photo; however, she forgot to check her privacy settings, and so the photo has been sitting there, in full public view, for months:
The caption reads:
Congrats to this handsome couple on their engagement last night!!!!!! @kitttykat33@rednose_rudy love y’all and cannot wait to celebrate with you ???#rudytiesaknott
Wait a minute!
Who’s that boxed blonde posing next to @rednose_rudy in the photo?
Why, it’s none other than convicted gay basher Kathryn Knott, who apparently used to go by the Instagram handle @kitttykat33, but has since changed it to a more mature-sounding @kknott33.
And as it turns out, @kknott33 has been maintaining a private Instagram profile for a while now and we had no idea:
Why so secretive, Kitty?
The couple’s wedding is scheduled for June 1, 2018. They are currently registered at Macy’s under registry ID number 6774275, not to be confused with Kathryn’s old inmate number.

Who cares. Yeah, she’s a good looking psycho bitch. Of coarse she’s going to attract a barbie ken. He doesn’t care.
Jack Meoff
I hope she has lots of little gay babies that find all the stories about her online

Is stalking this women really a good example for the community? She has already served jail time and been forced to pay from the civil suit. While many people may not think her time served fits the crime (myself included) I fail to see how this article was written without malicious intent. Why would a community of people who presumably dislike this woman want to know about an event that she presumably cares a lot about if not to attempt to effect it negatively? More concisely, this article is inciting others to stalk this woman (or worse) when there’s really no need to.
DarkZephyr
Of course it was created with malicious intent. Does she deserve flowers and a hug instead? And a lot of people will be curious to know what she’s up to these days after getting a slap on the wrist for her part in a vicious anti-LGBT physical assault.
ChrisK
Loss of her nursing license, 6 months in the slammer, and a 100,000 judgment against her isn’t exactly a slap.
DarkZephyr
@ChrisK nowhere near what she deserved. Not even close.
Shaugn
Thank you Jarod. We cannot call her a pig and then jump into the sty with her. They cannot learn that hate is unacceptable while becoming a victim themselves. We don’t change world view playing in their yard, give them reason to play in ours.

How interesting that you seem to think looking keeping tabs on somebody who instigated a violent attack on two men for holding hands is being bullied because somebody mentioned facts found in public online profiles.
Here’s a thought, when the guy that almost died doesn’t have any more visible or invisible scares, then I’ll give a crap about the feelings of the violent felon who tried to instigate their possible murder.

I agree. There’s nothing to be gained by acting like her. It would only play into the hands of antigay jerks.
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
“Since serving jail time “ Enough said. Now leave alone and move on because this is some creepy stalky shit. Let this mediocrity languish in well deserved obscurity.

What did this guy do?
adamphilly40
Allegedly got a DUI in 2012 according to the Montgomery News. That is, if it is the same Shane Rudolf. How about them AApples?
NateOcean
Is that her wedding registry number? Or her prisoner ID number?
footwork61
It’s perfectly fine to look for evidence of whether or not she has changed her ways or is still a threat to the community. That’s not stalking. That’s being a good reporter.
The problem is that, after you do the newsgathering and find nothing worth writing about, you write about it anyway. Would have been better to have marked your calendar to check in on her every month or so to see if she is keeping her nose clean.
calpoidog
agree with the others. This woman paid her debt to society. Leave her and her fiance alone. Queerty is almost inviting people to harass them. This story is just dripping with self righteous indignation. Sorry if the rest of us don’t continue to feel the same way. Would suggest to Queerty they take down this story.
1EqualityUSA
right on
DCguy
Interesting all these new accounts trying to attack this story.
You left something out. She HASN’T paid her debt. Remember, she and her father are STILL under indictment because they misused police resources to go after and harass a person who merely commented on stories about the gay bashing.
But it is interesting that all these new accounts keep coming in and leaving that part out.
Kathryn, is that you? Are you misusing police resources again Naughty girl.
Jaxton
Is that really Kathryn Knott? She looks like your stock American blonde with long, formless hair. Why is she showing cleavage, by the way? Is she afraid that her Rudy might turn to men?
Jaxton
Wouldn’t it be funny if Kathryn’s husband became bisexual? Ha ha ha. I’d call it poetic justice.
1EqualityUSA
wouldn’t want to know you
BlaqueCatt
Evil personified. She deserves whatever she gets.
1EqualityUSA
You look healthy and happy. I hope you are finding peace of mind and maturity. It appears that you may have given up alcohol. If so, good for you. Carry on and do your best every day.
DCguy
How about she can do her best by admitting guilt in the case where she and her father used police resources illegally to stalk and harass people who commented on stories about her? Or the part where she is still claiming she isn’t responsible for anything in the civil case against her?
This isn’t somebody that made a little ooopsie and now is back to her old self. This is somebody whom her neighbors said they weren’t surprised she tried to instigate a possible murder.
1EqualityUSA
Guess I lost track of the lass, and her father too. Not nice. Whatever she gives out, it taints her pool; we can circumvent. Trouble follows people if they’re shits. If what you say is accurate, she’ll not find peace. Her father seems to be unwise. It’s unfortunate all around.

This piece: 1) is actual journalism, 2) is well-researched, and 3) is of interest to gay readers. It’s quality work. I can’t believe it came from Graham Gremore. Are you OK, Graham? Did something happen to you?
As for the naysayers, this piece is absolutely not “stalking” nor is it malicious. A gay bashing story does not end with the bashing or the court proceedings. Part of the story is what happens in the lives of the victims and the perpetrators afterwards. That part of the story often gets neglected, as gay media loses interest once the trial is over and the sentence is handed down. So god help me for saying this, but good for Queerty and good for Graham Gremore.

vic’-B-gone, we’re invincible.

I hope your husband turns bisexual, Kathryn.

I e seen her family and how her father a “Sheriff” I think sets him self above the law and is a racist bastard. The whole family is a pile of shit. Prison does not change everyone. Nor does paying a fine..if she pays it. People like them do not change. I have zero sympathy for her and never will. I am done with the bigots, racists and Fascist taking control of the country and destroying it and us. And in case anyone has something to say about my post your wasting your time because I could care less. I am sure Paul Ryan and Trump would love to sing Kumbaya sing with a bunch of gays so give them a tweet.
DCguy
Considering her violent tendencies AND the fact that she is still on trial with her father for misusing police resources to stalk and harass somebody who commented about her on a story about the gay bashing, I wonder how she’ll react when she finds out her husband is gay.
Paco
Hey Queerty, how about an update on the two guys that broke the faces of the gay men. I can’t even remember their names. Is it intentional to only focus on Miss Knott for the gay bashing?
adamphilly40
Allegedly, she starts the fights. When the victims fight back, the guys jump in to show some of that bigoted Main Line chivalry. I can gladly post an update on them, should you like it.
Blakeblake
Be real here. This is stalkery. And the only reason people care is because she is a young pretty white woman. Three black guys gay bashed me in Washington DC. I needed reconstructive surgery on my face. Should I forward their details to this writer so he can share their personal info????
adamphilly40
NO, she legitimately attacked gay guys in the heart of the gayborhood. It made news because it was 1) brazenly in a safe space and 2) reflected a pattern of behavior that police were looking to punish at the time, as these incidents were escalating.
