2. Support needed, very important case
Hi, y'all. This is my first post, and I really would like to stress that this case is very important. I am one of the people who is testifying in it, and there is a good chance that precedences will be set, at least down there.

These two guys have struggled for 7 years to make a safe haven for rural and urban gay me to enjoy nature, socialize and have fun. Many of the men I know from there, this is the only place they can meet other gay men: truckers, welders, blue collar men who live far from cities, etc.

In the name of Christ, I've had shotguns rammed in my face, very young children threatening my life with rocks and some of the most vile language wishing for my death. What Chaz and Jim have gone through is unbelievable. Although these are only a few people. The community at large is very supportive.

There is much more, but I'm writing to ask for support for them. There's a link on their website that discusses how you can contribute money if you wish (their legal bills are becoming huge) or just to offer moral support, a phone call, an email. Remember, these are just two country guys alone in the middle of the woods doing this. They've literally struggled to get where they are, and have tried for seven years to turn the other cheek and work out solutions. It's finally come to this. I recently drove down from CHicago into that insane weather to give my testimony, and I will be back down there.

We will not be terrorized by Christian zealots. Like Camp Sister Spirit, we're fighting.

If you can help in any way, their site is www.cactuscanyoncampground.com (you can even take a look at the place on the about page which has links to video I did for them). Thanks, Kevin
