KATHY TINGELSTAD, GAY-BASHING ANOKA BIGOT

by Scott Rose

As a member of the notorious Anoka-Hennepin public schools board, the shameful gay-bashing bigot Kathy Tingelstad had to be dragged by her nasty bigot hairs into the 21st century.

Luckily, the 21st century has now won a great victory over the bullying, ignorance-fueled non-acceptance of gay human beings personified by the hateful KKKathy "Sieg heil!" Tingelstad.

The more research one does, the more evidence one turns up of KKKathy's long, long, long history of hardened professional gay bashing.

She served six terms as a Republican state legislator in Minnesota.  Here, in 2002, she told the reactionary Minnesota "EdWatch" that she would vote against public school education programs that aimed to eliminate gay-bashing bigotry. Here, you can read about how Tingelstad voted "Nein! Nicht! Nie!" on a proposed same-sex partner benefits law.

Here, in 2004, as you can see, KKKathy earned a Goose Egg Zero in  OutFront Minnesota's evaluations of legislators' LGBT-rights-related votes. When OutFront Minnesota evaluated legislators for the period 1993 - 2006, the gay-bashing bigot Tingelstad also earned a Goose Egg Zero.

As an Anoka-Hennepin school board member, Tingelstad did her damnedest to perpetuate a climate of anti-gay intimidation and fear in the public schools. In her bigot's arrogance, she dared to complain that human rights activists were insisting that gay students' constitutional and human rights be better protected.

When federal investigations and lawsuits brought against the Anoka-Hennepin school district led to the Board accepting a history-making settlement, KKKathy the professional gay-basher voted against accepting the settlement and then goose-stepped her way out of the room in a snit after resigning from the Board.  Tingelstad had herself a regular old Rethugliturd conniption, that the federal government could actually help to pressure gay-bashing yokels out of continuing their daily tortures of -- and bullying non-acceptance of  -- gay human beings.

In her whining resignation speech, she said, among other stupid things, "Like a target of bullying, I choose to leave the situation by resigning - instead of fighting back against the out-of-state bullies."

This gay-bashing heterosupremacist bigot witch Tingelstad currently serves as Anoka County's Chief Lobbyist. Please join me now in giving her the simultaneous Hitler salute and prolonged, extremely sloppy Bronx Cheer she so richly deserves.
