Christian website writer threatened to slaughter LGBTQ+ people. He just pled guilty.

A former writer for a conservative political advocacy group’s website has pleaded guilty to making threats against the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).

In a press release Wednesday, the Justice Department said that 34-year-old Adam Michael Nettina of West Friendship, Maryland, pleaded guilty in a U.S. District Court in Baltimore to a federal crime for using a telephone to threaten the Washington, D.C.-based LGBTQ+ advocacy group.

  • “I hate you for confusing me on what I am or am not attracted to and I find it threatening to my world. But instead of dealing with my own feelings I will try to eliminate you from my life to help me avoid this ambiguity of feelings.”

    I would love to tell this dude it’s fine to find other adults attractive regardless of gender or identity, but you know his family, friends group, and church would never accept him which plays a part in him thinking this is the only way to deal with this.
