Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm glad this is the ruling. ...even if I know there will be a GoFund to pay this off, and she'll probably be running for Congress in no time on the platform of "Elect me to legitimize our homophobia."
Every dollar going to her is a dollar not going to some other hate cause.
It would be a shame if GoFundMe was breached and everyone could see who donated to her. Maybe all of those people would suffer consequences for being huge assholes, too.
I don't think they'd care. In France the right fundraised a fucking million euros for a cop who shot a kid during a traffic stop, and they bragged about it.
I fuckin’ hate French Nazis.
Being a huge asshole has become completely acceptable though unfortunately.
I hope they stick her on a really boring committee, like salt mining regulations, until she slowly goes insane.
See this is what I'm legitimately curious about. Was she able to turn her grandstanding into a lucrative side-gig of being a political speaker or author? It appears people in a position to make national news for the christo-fascist right have potential millions to be made by just playing their cards right. I imagine if she started a podcast around when she made national news, she could have gained a strong enough following to be well into a lucrative career doing speaking engagements, and could probably even push into a television show on a religious or political network.
