Lawmaker who thinks gays a threat to children crashes boat into children
A Maryland lawmaker who thinks same-sex marriage will lead to the teaching of homosexuality in schools has injured four children in a drunken boating accident
A homophobic Maryland lawmaker has admitted to being drunk when he accidentally crashed his boat into a boat full of children.
Maryland delegate Don H. Dwyer Jr was drinking with another man on his boat on the Magothy River in Pasadena around 7pm when his boat struck a smaller vessel with five children on board.
Four of the children were injured with one, a five year old girl, taken by helicopter to Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.
Two adults on the boat were unharmed.
The smash was so severe that Dwyer’s boat sunk in the river.
Dwyer later admitted to having a blood alcohol level of 0.2 – twice the legal limit.
‘It is true that I was drinking while operating my boat,’ Dwyer told a press conference outside the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore where he is being treated.
‘No one, no one, should be drinking and operating a motor vehicle or powerboat.’
‘I deeply regret my actions, and I ask for forgiveness from the public. My heart and prayers go out to the family that was involved in the accident, and I pray for them to have a speedy recovery.’
Dwyer, a Tea Party Republican, has in the past suggested that homosexuals were a threat to children and that same-sex marriage would lead to homosexuality being taught in schools.
Dwyer has previously attempted to ban same-sex marriage in Maryland by attaching an amendment to a bill on marriage license fees and sought the sacking or impeachment of public officials who have made decisions that were supportive of same-sex couples having the right to marry.
Earlier this year Dwyer supported a ballot measure to strip lawmakers of their office when found guilty of serious crimes which Maryland voters will decide on in November.
If Dwyer is found to have committed an offense and the ballot initiative is successful he may find himself out of office under the law.

He should have followed his own advice before he got into the boat. And as far as praying for the victims to have a speedy recovery, I think he's more like praying he doesn't get sued...............
There is nothing here to celebrate. Is it sometimes nice to see idiots get a well-deserved comeuppance? hell yeah. but if that comeuppance happens at the expense of innocent people? there is NOTHING here to celebrate.
Gay bashers are not the danger. Christians are not the danger, Neo-nazis are not the danger, Al-Quida is not the danger. The danger to all people is intolerance. it is as much a danger to the intolerant as it is to their victims. It leads to hate, war, anger, suppression, oppression, depression, suicide, and despair. Where intolerance lives, hope, love, charity, and community cannot.
There is nothing here to celebrate.
