Patron arrested for anthrax scare at NYC gay bar

New York City police arrested Ameen Keshavjee this week for allegedly sending fake anthrax and threatening letters to an employee of the popular gay bar Nowhere in Manhattan. The reason: he’d been kicked out of the establishment.

Keshavjee began sending threats last February after an employee told him to stop emailing the bar with crazy notes. He stopped frequenting the establishment but sent the threats to the employee instead.  “After the way you 3 sh*ts repeatedly harassed, bullied and intimidated me YOU LOW LEVEL HUMAN garbage decide that **I** crossed a line????,” he wrote. “DIE OF AIDS, you leftie, hypocrite, democrat-voting FU–S!!!!! I sincerely hope (the employee’s partner) gives it to you, you f–king disgrace to the planet! I will be there to pee on your individual coffins!”

The threats continued each month thereafter, with one in April reading “I would LOVe to attend a funeral featuring you 3 pieces of HUMAN SH*T!!! A. Are u f*cking bullying 3 dead yet? Please reply YES! You in particular, (employee), are a hateful, spiteful, bullying, discriminatory, racist, human sh*t. Get AIDS or cancer and DIE: you (two other employees) leave us quiet people in peace, you human sh*ts. Peace and quiet. A”

Keshavjee waded into more dangerous territory this December, when he sent a note containing white power and the message “It’s called antrax [sic]. Enjoy.” At that point, the bar notified authorities. Sending fake anthrax is considered a federal offense, and the FBI became involved in the case.

“Even though there was no actual anthrax in the note allegedly mailed by Keshavjee, that doesn’t minimize the consequences of the crime,” FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr said of the case. “Hoax threats not only intimidate the victims they are intended for, they require extensive law enforcement resources that could be better used elsewhere.  For anyone out there who might be contemplating a hoax of this nature, just remember Keshavjee now faces up to 10 years in prison for his alleged actions.”

If convicted of his crimes, Keshavjee could face up to 10 years in prison.

Senior Trump Adviser: HIV is ‘God’s Moral Law,’ Stonewall Monument is a ‘Celebration of Sin’

Back in November, President Donald Trump appointed right-wing cable TV news pundit Jenna Ellis as a senior legal adviser to both himself and his 2020 re-election campaign.

Ellis, who previously served as public policy director at the James Dobson Family Institute, has a disgusting history of anti-LGBTQ and anti-Muslim rhetoric, according to a new report from Media Matters.

For example, Ellis has said that HIV is “God’s moral law,” that the Stonewall Inn monument is “a celebration of sin,” and that “Christians cannot follow God and accept or condone or participate in homosexuality.”

From Media Matters: “Ellis has also worked against bans against conversion therapy, a dangerous and discredited practice that attempts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. In 2019, she testified at a Colorado House committee hearing against a bill protecting youth from the practice. Ellis joined the Trump campaign as a senior legal adviser in November. Axios reported at the time that ‘Trump has said he’s impressed by Ellis’ TV appearances, according to a person close to him. He indicated that he wanted to give her a bigger job, and his team briefly discussed bringing her into the White House.’”

More from the Daily Beast: “[Ellis’] book complains that the Supreme Court ‘told the LGBT community that their homosexual lifestyle was not just legal privately, but morally validated openly through government recognition and social celebration and therefore equally as valued as heterosexual unions.’ In the wake of a 2015 shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that left 49 dead, Ellis penned a column that condemned the massacre, but bemoaned that it was being used to dignify homosexuality. ‘I’m disappointed conservatives are acquiescing to the LGBT agenda,’ Ellis wrote. ‘Let me be clear—the Orlando shooting was absolutely terrible and tragic. But the response to this tragedy should not be embracing and advocating for gay rights.’ The piece was headlined, ‘Two Wrongs Do Not Make an LGBT Right.’”
