Domain Names - Contact "Indiana Republicans"

A Portland man has taken on the Indiana legislature in a way that he hopes will help to educate people about the negative effects of their "Religious Freedom" bill on LGBTQ youth.

Konrad Juengling purchased the domains for six Indiana Republican state representatives: Dale Devon, Don Lehe, Donna Schaibley, Douglas Gutwein, Kathy Kreag Richardson, and Martin Carbaugh. All six of these representatives helped pass the so-called "religious freedom bill" in the House of Representatives of Indiana. The domain names are:
  • daledevon.com
  • donlehe.com
  • donnaschaibley.com
  • douglasgutwein.com
  • kathykreagrichardson.com
  • martincarbaugh.com
When someone goes to that domain, the person is forwarded to the Human Rights Campaign page on youth statistics, which includes the fact that 4 in 10 LGBTQ youth do not feel welcome in the communities in which they live. That link also shows that 92 percent of LGBTQ youth hear negative messages about being gay, lesbian, or transgender from their peers and surrounding communities.

As we see the last major hierarchy in our country seriously falling, we can be encouraged that we are near the critical mass where we have turned the corner for equality and justice in the United States.
