Kleinschmidt receives threats
Kleinschmidt receives threats – City
When openly gay Chapel Hill Town Council member Mark Kleinschmidt posted a link to a neo-Nazi site on his blog, he didn’t expect to hear back. But in the weeks following, anti-gay activists posted thinly veiled threats on his blog. „We’re watching you, queer boy,“ a user identified as Bill White wrote. When the Vanguard News Network posted his home address and phone number online, Kleinschmidt contacted Chapel Hill police as a precaution. Kleinschmidt posted the link in response to a VNN post that listed contact information of openly gay and lesbian public officials and suggested „direct action“ against them. „I believe that we shouldn’t allow the rhetoric that they use to just stay hidden from view and allow them to think that they are insulated from public scrutiny,“ he said. VNN is the second-largest neo-Nazi forum in the country, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project, a division of the Southern Poverty Law Center that tracks hate groups.
