I was so heartbroken when I read this. A 53-year-old Sauvie Island, Oregon psychiatrist was victimized by homophobic vandals last week in a disgusting display of hate.

According to the Oregonian, George Soule had recently lost his longtime companion David Pennington to a 25 year battle with AIDS, during which Soule maintained a "skilled nursing facility" in the couple's home.

But Soule returned home last week to find clear references to his partner and messages of hatred spray painted on his truck and inside his home, which was broken into by the vandals.

"Die like your lover," said one of the messages. Local News Station KGW reports that the hate crimes have brought the already "tight-knit" community closer together.

I hope they find those bastards! That poor man...he's dealing with enough.

They should leave him alone. He is already hurting without the stresses of dealing with being victimized.....(sometimes i wonder why people can't find better things to do with their time.) i pray that he is ok and understands that we all don't feel the way those fools do. peace and love.

goodness ... *sighs*

Humans can be so disrespectful!

Hun, it is just plain stupidity and that is what is so scary.

Nothing to say here. Aboslutely nothing.

I'm intolerant of people who are intolerant for the wrong reasons. Seriously, how some people have no morals is beyond me.

speechless.
