    I don't know about jail time but legal action should be taken against him or her. Unfortunatly, the reality is the police only have some many resources so I honestly don't think there will be. I reported the tweet to Twitter when I saw it.

    T-Bone is correct that we should never hold a group responsible for the actions of one of their members when the group has not sanctioned that action. Ron is also correct that silence is consent. As Burke is reputed to have said in 1770, "the only thing necessary for triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" When homophobic or hate statements are expressed, it behoves us, individually, to take a stand and strongly condemn those statements and the person making them.
