The investigation stems from comments made in “Loudoun Love Warriors,” a private Facebook messaging group.
At a Virginia school board meeting late last year, a speaker during public comment said being LGBTQ was “immoral.” Soon, others who were angered by his remarks began a discussion in a chat in a private Facebook group.
“Again I say to you, if any man or woman causes one of these little ones to stumble it would be better for a millstone to be put around your neck and thrown into the lake. It’s not my words, it’s God’s words. Please, please, get back to reading, writing and arithmetic and quit grooming and pimping,” Winn said.
Screenshots show multiple messages, most of which come from a small number of group members, with a similar sentiment about “ruining lives” and getting other people fired from their jobs for hateful comments made in school board meetings or online.“Quoting scripture in a public forum, that never has been, and never should be considered hate speech,” Winn said in an interview with WJLA.
Summers, a contractor, also founded Citizens Committee Against Domestic Violence and has been an organizer in the community.
