In California, gay San Diego resident Jason "Cowboy" Huggins was stoned to death, according to TheNewCivilRightsMovement.com. Huggins—a native of Clarksville, Tenn.—was beaten so violently he sustained serious brain damage. Police reportedly arrested Joshua Larson, in connection with the killing; two years ago, Huggins testified against Larson in a criminal case in which Larson was charged with drug possession and grand theft.

A dozen individuals threw glitter all over the waiting room of Bachmann & Associates—the clinic headed by GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and her husband, Marcus, according to the Minnesota Independent. The clinic reportedly is engaged in "reparative therapy," which some practitioners use to supposedly cure homosexuality. Nick Espinosa, who was behind a glittering of Newt Gingrich in May, organized this incident as well.
