I think the headline should be “Closeted Gay Cyberstalker AND Logical Extension of Anti-gay Rhetoric” This guy clearly is both – and its pathetic and extremely disturbing. What is really shocking is that he is employed in the AG’s office! Talk about a fox in the hen house… how can he represent the people in any capacity? I hope he gets some help before he ends up committing a more serious crime than just stalking, bullying, verbal abuse, etc… he seems like the type of person who eventually shows up with a weapon.
I’m curious what he actually does at the Attorney General’s office. He seems to have so compromised himself with his bizarre activities as to undercut his ability to represent the State in any capacity.
He’s representing himself, so some people will presume he’s straight. A straight rep of the AG office doing this would be reprehensible and disturbing.
Indeed, we saw similar character assassination of GLSEN’s Kevin Jennings.
But there are very cynical forces out there who love an anti gay, gay man working against gay people.
Only to be thrown under the bus if their orientation is revealed.
Shirvell mentioned the Alliance Defense Fund.
MY prediction is, that any calls from gay people to have Shirvell removed will be spun as a part of the ‘radical homosexual agenda’ to silence Christian professionals.
Regardless that said Christians overstep into territory that isn’t privileged or a right.
Slander and libel are not protected speech. Shirvell is bearing false witness and trying to do Armstrong harm. Which is apparently a waiver regarding certain Christian commandments if your target is gay.
Unfortunately, if Shirvell is forced to confess or resign, only will his boss and office say that THEY were deceived by yet another lying gay man with his OWN agenda, not theirs.
And that would be the example of the AG’s office throwing Shirvell under the bus.
Wait and see.
I’m wondering if Shirvell is unhinged enough if he is fired…to commit suicide? Which would be yet another anti gay casualty of the closet.
I doubt he’d be embraced by the supporters of the AG or ADF…unless he remains a celibate gay man who doesn’t challenge their bidding.
Your thoughts?
I remember when I was in 6th grade, I used to absolutely TORTURE this guy Joseph. He was a year younger than me, but whenever our classes were together for something, I made sure to follow him, wrestle with him, harass him . . .
It wasn’t until much later that I realized I had a huge crush on him.
Honestly, I feel sorry for Shirvell. He’s clearly gay. He clearly denies it. And he clearly has a HUGE crush on Armstrong . . . not that I blame him . . . Armstrong’s pretty cute after all 🙂 But seriously? Could Shirvell BE anymore puerile? It’s pretty disturbing. I’m so glad I found the Light . . . I wince knowing that had things been just SLIGHTLY different for me, I could have been that guy . . .
Shirvell is merely following the closeted Christian Right protocol of consciously waging social warfare, while unconsciously they are possessed by the very demons that they project onto so many innocent people.
As you remarked to me earlier, I’m surprised this isn’t in The Onion.
The guy is utterly obsessed. If I were still in the closet, I would probably be stalking guys as cute as Chris Armstrong, too.

I think he is Shirvell is very unhinged. My fear is that he will hurt others since he seems hellbend on seeing himself as a victim
