This video, in response to the some of the religious right’s recent claims of Christian-Bashing, or Christ-a-phobia is really good. It also kind of hurts.

Another Hate Crime on Capitol Hill
A Tacoma man has been charged with a hate crime after threatening a woman on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. Alfred Salway, age 52, allegedly confronted a woman on January 15th and threatened to stab her in the eye.
Police reports indicate Salway yelled “Did you hear me lesbian,” followed by “I’m going to hurt you lesbian” and “Lesbian, I’m going to get you.”
The woman, whose sexuality was undisclosed, ran from Salway and he gave chase. The police were called, and Salway was arrested minutes later.
King County Prosecutors charged Salway with malicious harrassment, Washington state’s hate-crime law.
Salway, who has previously been convicted of 11 counts of assault, is being held in King County Jail under $50,000 bail.
