Gay dad José Rolón, a widower raising three kids on his own, faced a choice.
The social media influencer, who covers gay family life and is known as @nycgaydad, was under attack by conservative online provocateur Stew Peters. Peters is an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who “regularly promotes anti-LGBTQ+ and white supremacist beliefs,” according to the Anti-Defamation League, a watchdog organization against hateful extremists.
Peters, who has over a million and a half followers across various platforms, had declared on his show that Rolón should be executed for sex crimes against his kids.
“Some pervert homo has access to at least four kids around the clock all the time. He can take them to drag conventions and then post the evidence, post pictures and videos of criminal sexual conduct… and somehow not end up in jail, or better yet, the gallows,” Peters stated.
