Chad Sevearance-Turner, a former music minister who served years in prison for sexually abusing a minor boy, was originally slated to receive the award this year.
Charlotte Pride had praised him as an “influential advocate for LGBT+ issues,” Reduxx first reported.
Sevearance-Turner, 45, is president and chief executive officer at the Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit that “supports LGBT+ and allied businesses” in North and South Carolina.
The first case involved a 14-year-old boy who testified that he spent the night with Sevearance-Turner at one of the other victims’ houses and awoke to Sevearance-Turner fondling his genitals. The boy also testified that Sevearance-Turner invited him to spend the night at his house, and when he did, Sevearance-Turner asked him how he would feel about a man performing oral sex on him.
The second boy, who was 15 at the time of the alleged incident, testified that Sevearance-Turner invited him to his house and showed him a pornographic video of sex between a man and woman. The boy went to sleep in the same bed as Sevearance-Turner and awoke to Sevearance-Turner fondling him, the child said.
“He told me if I ever told the pastor, he’d make me look like a fool and a liar,” the boy said.
The third boy, who was also 15 when he said the incident happened, said Sevearance-Turner made the same advances to him when he stayed at the boy’s home for three weeks and fondled him multiple times.
Sevearance-Turner was eventually convicted in 2000 of performing a lewd act on a minor under 16 and sentenced to ten years in prison. He served just two years before being released on parole.
He is currently listed on the North Carolina sex offender registry.
I just want to know who sends their kids to sleep at other people's houses unless it's like a sleepover with a similarly aged kid? Sending a kid to sleep over a music minister's house? What? Is there some context I'm missing.
Andrew Tate bragged on video about being a scam artist, and he still amassed a huge following. Too many people have no standards at all for who they will follow beyond, "says things I want to hear."
I'd argue that it's more young men are so fucking desperate for any type of father/patriarchal figure that they'll go with anyone whom so much as breaths in the right manner and ignore all the warning signs.
Jordan Peterson didn't really say anything revolutionary, but he was a male figure that came across as one of authority, and a lot of people want that kind of reassurance.
I'm not sure if he is an asset, but I can tell that the system prefers for radicalizing young white dudes to politically cleave along sex lines rather than racial ones. They probably let him go for a while because of that.
HOW THE FUCK DID THEY NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?
The man is a PRESIDENT AND CEO!
Holy fuck.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.
Surprising, I know.
To be entirely fair, neither of those examples had to go around and inform the neighbors when they moved in.

Peterson has obviously been astroturfed though.
I had never heard of Tate the Mutt before he got arrested in Romania and the media went "ah ah! The Alt-Right incels worship a rapist!"
Litterally who?
I heard of him a bit but not nearly as much.

I mean, his dad worked for the CIA...
