A Connecticut homosexual is awaiting sentencing for threatening the life of a traditional values leader.
53-year-old Daniel Sarno reportedly sent more than 300 threatening messages to Peter Wolfgang of the Family Institute of Connecticut.
"He made it very clear that he was homosexual and that he was threatening me because of my beliefs and because of my public advocacy on behalf of unborn human life, and most especially the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman," Wolfgang shares.
A postal inspector was able to trace Sarno as the sender of the 300 letters, which were received between last November and this May. Federal authorities finally contacted him and were told Sarno would plead guilty to issuing the threats. That happened August 15 -- the same day a homosexual activist walked into Family Research Council headquarters and shot the building operations manager.
"There is a growing and disturbing trend of an effort to intimidate folks like you and me -- people who are pro-family, who are pro-life, who believe in traditional biblical values -- that if we stand up for those values, there's a growing effort to try to intimidate us into silence," Wolfgang observes. "We will not be silenced. We will continue to speak up for what's right and what's true."
Sarno could receive up to ten years in prison and a maximum of a half-million dollars in fines when he is sentenced January 3.
