To make her position clear, Amber Timmons wrote “love trumps hate” and “not my president” on her car windows shortly after the election.
But when the Denver woman woke up Wednesday morning, she found her car spray-painted with an array of death threats, swastikas, slurs, and “Trump.”
There was also the incoherent but not-quite-incoherent-enough message “fag die he she,” and “die” written next to a swastika.

According to Denverite, Timmons’ neighbors were quick to show support by leaving notes of support all over her window.
Timmons moved to Cheesman Park because she thought the area would be more accepting of her as a trans woman.
“Like I said on the back, love trumps hate,” she told Denverite. “You don’t fight hate with hate. You fight it with love.”
“I try to tell people that because of the Trump thing, it’s all coming back. It’s coming back hard.”

“We live in difficult times,” said Glenn Barrows, congregational administrator at First Unitarian Society of Denver.
It’s our position at First Unitarian, has been for decades — we are an island of sanity in a somewhat insane world and we are here for anyone who is marginalized. It’s not just about the congregation, it’s about the community and about the world.”
We will be here. We aren’t going anywhere. We will be here forever. Because we need to be.”
Denver police are currently investigating.

I agree with her but in the meantime I suggest she get a gun.

This is why you don’t advertise your positions on your car. Why ask for trouble.

@geoker:
Are you saying we should all be good little fags and keep our mouths shut?
Well, sweetheart, that ain’t gonna happen.
Hiding only gives more time and power to those awful cretins.
Say it loud, kids. WE’RE HERE, WE’RE QUEER, GET USE TO IT. WE AIN’T GOIN’ NOWHERE!!!
We don’t ask for trouble. We ask to be left alone any time we express ourselves in whatever form that may take.

Let’s see if this turns out to be a hoax like the “attack” on the Muslim student in Louisiana or the “anti-gay flyer” targeting gays in Dallas.
Meanwhile, there was an actual, legitimate horrific crime against lesbians – a triple murder of an entire family, two moms and their 19-year old son. The family was African-American and the perpetrator is white. This horrific crime happened a few days ago, but Queerty hasn’t posted anything about it. Not one word. Why? Maybe because the perpetrator is a trans activist? You can be sure that if a white Trump supporter had slaughtered a Black, lesbian family, it would be a banner headline on Queerty. But lesbian-murdering trans activists don’t interest Queerty. Stories like that might cause people to rethink “LGBT” and we can’t have that! For those who want to learn more about this crime, google “Dana Rivers.”

@Danny279:
Don’t worry. You’ll hear about her endlessly if the local paper uses her “dead name,” and the Alphabet Soup Community won’t give a hoot about the people she murdered because that’s how low we have sunk.

@geoker: Fuck off, you self-loathing twat. You are probably also of the opinion that short skirts are advertising the desire to be raped.
