Theresa Deschenes harasses gay neighbor with AIDS

This is one more sad item for my list to remember the next time I hear someone talking about how great gay people have it and how we don't deserve special rights like marriage or protection from hate crimes. From the article:

Potts said that his problems began shortly after he moved into the apartment building and mention[sic] to Deschenes that he was gay and ill. Several days later, Potts said, he received a phone call from Deschenes.

"She said, 'If you do anything to my daughter I'll [expletive] kill you.' I said, 'I'm gay, not a pedophile.' "

Potts said that the stress inflicted on him has had a negative impact on his battle with HIV.

Deschenes' lawyer characterized the dispute as "trivial".
