My name is Rivka Edelman, and I am the product of same-sex parenting.
Recently I published an essay on Public Discourse about the ruthless
misogyny that pervades LBGT culture. I pointed out it that it can and
will victimize women and children with impunity and then, in Americas
narcissistic fugue, get hailed as brave and heroic.
Since my essay was published, there have been hundreds, maybe thousands,
of posts calling me a liar or trying to shame, discredit, intimidate, and
threaten me. Read this for details. People I do not know have gone
directly after my family and my job. They have posted information, mis-
information, accusations, and threats against me. A vicious abusive
activist well-known for his unhinged misogynistic cyber-stalking and
violent threats, Scott Rose, sent blast e-mails to the university where I
teach, describing himself as a human right activist and an investigative
journalist.
Scott Rose has made threats of violence against Ryan T. Anderson, the

As with other adults who have come forward to criticize their childhood
with gay parents, I am framed as a bigot or a liar or in some other way
unreliable. In this flip-flop, a childrens rights activist and
feminist is called anti-gay and a bigot.
Jeremy Hooper, Mr. Rose, and a gang of the allies who congregate and
exchange information on Hoopers blog, Good As You, are concerned about
an amicus curiae brief I wrote in the Texas case regarding same-sex
marriage (Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals). Along with three other
adults who were raised by same-sex couples, I came forward to push back
against the assertion that children have no disadvantages when raised by
same-sex couples. Our arguments are not so easy to dismiss.
On Jeremy Hoopers blog, activists have dug through all my past to make
it public. They have also discussed contacting my ex-husband to get him
to lie about me for them.
[IMAGE]
The Texas case is still pending. To date, the voices of adult children
of the LBGT community have been stifled, but by some miracle four briefs
were accepted in Texas against the objections of the pro-gay lobby side,
which invoked procedural technicalities to try to get the four briefs
thrown out. Three of the four amici curiae have published commentary on
same-sex parenting here.
Once activists connected my Public Discourse piece of October 2, to the
Texas brief, they went full throttle. Jeremy Hooper, the blogger at Good
as You, uses his blog as a platform to harass, bully, and silence with
impunity. Hooper published comments from his readers and thereby shared
our home address and my daughters private information. They contacted
other family members looking for information. They are not picky; true
or made up assertions work for them equally.
We can conclude with reasonable certainty that significant
details of her young life were left out of her brief[.]
Mr. Rose wants my ex-husband to fill in the blanks. He was told never to
contact my ex again. He has harassed me with the e-mail version of
drunken dialing. And as the outrage against Mr. Hooper grows wider, he
says he has no control over the comments. He says he never even met
Rose. He cites law for polish. Hooper is careful and deliberate to say
that sometimes he does not agree with Roses tactics.
I do not believe Mr. Hooper. He indeed allows commenters to leave
violent threats against me. Under Hoopers editorial review, my work
information, along with my childs name and peoples addresses,
circulated freely.
Here Mr. Rose, human rights activist (is that a day job?), threatened my
[Scott Rose]
She thought she was going to get away with demonizing gay people behind
pseudonyms Ryvka Edelman et cetera, but my message to the gay-bashing
bigot is YOULL NEVER EAT LUNCH IN THIS TOWN AGAIN.
She can forget that one.
And now that editors and English Department Chairs know that [Rivka
Edelman] is a vicious anti-LGBT bigot, they have more information for
their publishing and hiring decisions.
P.S. to Rivka Rots a Ruck getting your work published in any non-
religious, non-bigot publication, now that the world knows that [Rivka]
is a malicious, lying, anti-LGBT bigot.

The police have his name now.
Perhaps they see us, the adult children of gay homes, as a threat, so we
are attacked and our families threatened. They posted on Craigslist
looking for information about me.
[IMAGE]
Good God. Maybe Im on Grindr, too.
Next they deploy activist Straight Grandmother. She is the one who
floats the idea of contacting my ex in the first place.
... Her Amicus Brief to our Federal Court Judges in the 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals ... The only thing they have going is their personal
narrative, which makes it very difficult to discredit ... how much if
their personal narrative is made up just to further their Hate Agenda.
The only way we have to discern the truth is to delve into their personal
narrative.
They savage, bully, and threaten adults who grew up with gay parents in
order to force a false narrative of happiness on them. More Orwellian
logic.
It invades people's personal privacy. But then on the other hand,
they are the ones themselves who are offering up their personal lives as
reasons to deny gays Civil Rights. See how this puts gay rights advocates
between a rock and a hard place? They kind of force us to do something
distasteful, but if we don't then their lies stand.
They admit a pattern to invade peoples privacy the new McCarthyism.
This is why I am contacting you and what I would like
to know about XXXX, well specifically XXXX's mother ...
if you are able to get an actual affirmation or
rejection from the brother[.]
Here they are looking for more family. I cant help but feel that
whatever organization pays these men should be investigated.
I don't know if you will provide the true answer to my question or
not. I hope you will. And actually you don't even have to respond to me.
Jeremy WILL protect you, but if you are brave you could have the fact
attributed to yourself.
That promise to protect seems to confirm that Mr. Hooper knows this
commenter and that they have planned to contact my ex-husband to get
information.
Remember Federal Judges are reading the Life Story
of XXXX as told by her. Her story as written by her,
may influence a Judges ruling.

Now that I have established the ins and outs of Jeremy Hoopers blog, I
can say I recognize these abusive behaviors as part of the culture I grew
up in. Notice the lack of accountability, the deflections.
We the adult children are currently in the process of getting our stories
ready for publication. And as gay marriage becomes the law of the land,
we have expectations moving forward. We demand that the HRC publically
honor and acknowledge our experience and issue apologies in print and
online for all the attacks against all of us. And rectify immediately
all that we have suffered by activists connected to the HRC or GLAAD.
This cautionary tale should travel far and wide: a family threatened,
peoples privacy invaded, harassment, threats, bullying, unwanted
contact, abusive mischaracterization, incurred financial hardship.
These men may have revealed much more about themselves and the movement
than they realize and damaged their credibility. I would not want to be
Mr. Hooper or Rose when they realize that nobody will ever trust them
again no, not really, and not ever. They are like the writer who gets
caught plagiarizing or a researcher who fakes results. There will always
be that question in the back of peoples minds.
Lets make a name for these guys the one they have earned. Send this
on to others.

Remember in November - This election is our first referendum on amnesty.
Yet another example of homofascists and their utter intolerance of
tolerance.

same crap with Prop 8 in California.
Too bad none of the faggots had the balls to back up their
threats on private property where they could get killed.
