The assault on gay conservatives continues

Blogosphere Jihad Continues: Another Blog Silenced
March 29, 2005

Gay activist Michael Rogers, of Blogactive.com, continues to target critics in an ongoing saga of an online jihad within the blogosphere.

This time the target was LimeShurbet.com, a blog whose site was taken down overnight by the site's commercial service provider. According to sources, LimeShurbert had taken GayPatriot's "WANTED: GAY TERRORISTS" post and created his own "wanted poster" targeting Michael Rogers and John Aravosis (Americablog). Rogers alerted the service provider which then shut the site down.

Here is a message from LimeShurbet.com's blog author, Robert Shurbet:

I will be back, content intact one way or another. Michael Rogers has tried to silence a voice of dissent. He will fail. UPDATE 3:16PM - Robert Shurbert posted the following on Haloscan:

Show your support for GayPatriot by placing the "WANTED" banner from my sidebar on your blog. GayPatriot deserves to have his voice heard! All gay conservatives have a voice that needs to be heard too! The gay community is not a "liberals only" club any more than the Republican party is for "straights only." It is high-time gay conservatives and those that support them speak out against the terrorist tactics employed by Michael Rogers!

Don't let Michael Rogers silence a voice of opposition. He can try to silence one - he cannot silence many.
