A masked assailant threw a sharp rock through the front window of a gay couple's home in Northeast D.C., striking one of the men in the head.
The attack occurred last Friday in the city’s Kingman Park neighborhood, just as WorldPride weekend festivities were set to begin.
Surveillance video captured the assault. In the footage, a masked individual approaches the couple’s house -- decorated with rainbow Pride flags in the front yard -- and hurls a rock through the front window before fleeing. A cry can be heard from inside the home.
Pope Leo XIV, the recently elected head of the Roman Catholic Church and the first U.S.-born pontiff, made hostile, anti-LGBTQ remarks about homosexuality and same-sex marriage more than a decade ago, sparking concerns in the LGBTQ community about whether he will be less welcoming than his predecessor, Pope Francis.
In 2012, while addressing the world synod of bishops, then-Father Robert Prevost criticized "Western mass media" for its sympathetic portrayal of "beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel," specifically naming abortion, the so-called "homosexual lifestyle," and euthanasia.
U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) has launched a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Tina Smith.
The lesbian congresswoman entered the Senate race after holding town hall meetings last week in all four of Minnesota's congressional districts currently held by Minnesota Republicans.
In her launch video, which shows Craig traveling to different regions of the state listening to voters' concerns, Craig vows to "break through the chaos" emanating from Washington and fight back against "a president trampling our rights and freedoms as he profits for personal gain, and a cowardly Republican Party rolling over and letting it all happen."
