Today's Washington Post has an article entitled: "Company declines to provide a DJ for a gay man's party." In this (and I will have more on this in another posting, as I have seen his whining, hypocritical email), talks about a birthday party hosted by a gay couple for another gay man, and how the DJ company said that they would not handle the event. Note that the birthday boy, was the "former partner" of the of the person mentioned below.
In the article, it stated that the party is to be held at the local Knights of Columbus hall. It seems that the only KofC hall, in the area where the gay couple lives, is the Fr. Rosensteel Council.
Now, we would not have known any of this, had it not been that Tom Tsakounis (46) of Silver Spring, had not talked about this with The Washington Post.
So: Is Fr. Rosensteel Council hosting a birthday party for a gay person, sponsored by a gay couple?
They probably did not know about it, when it was booked, but now that they know, what is their answer?

As mentioned to you earlier, I do have a copy of the email. (Thank you Melvin for it.) Unfortunately, the Washington comPost article does not mention some key points. So here are my thoughts...
Also, if you know that the KofC is a Catholic organization, why did you book the party there? Was it to embarrass the KofC - a Catholic organization? Did you do it because you know their stance on gay marriage and homosexual behavior and thought that it might make for a good laugh with your buddies?
Personally, I believe that Tom Tsakounis is:

As mentioned to you earlier, I do have a copy of the email. (Thank you Melvin for it.) Unfortunately, the Washington comPost article does not mention some key points. So here are my thoughts...
- The author's last name is never revealed in the email. So, we only know that he lives in the South Four Corner area of MoCo.
- The author never mentioned where the party was to be held.
- The author states that he "appreciates that we live in country that is filled with diversity and I will fight to the death to preserve and defend each person's right to believe what they want to believe and defend their faith in whatever way they deem appropriate." Now, if this is the case, why are you so upset when they do not want to do a party that would go against their belief system? Should you not respect them?
- The author then tells everyone that if you do not support same sex marriage or the LGBTQ community, you might not want to continue reading. Why? You made composed this huge email and then tell people who do not support your sexual orientation not to read any further. Why?
- He continues by telling everyone that "hate is alive and well in" MoCo. So, so someone who disagrees with you and whom you promised to fight to the death for, suddenly is hate filled? That seems pretty hypocritical to me.
- The author then goes into the story and relates that he received a couple of DJ names and numbers from the South Four Corner listserv. His sister agreed to help and as the comPost correctly states, contacted the DJ in question. Now, here is the interesting part: When the sister learned that as a Christian business that they were "not comfortable with providing service to a party like this. My sister told him she was no longer interested in using their business."
- There was nothing in the author's email stating that email that said that the DJ representative was rude, yelling, cursing, making any gay slurs, etc. And, more importantly, you (or at least your sister) ultimately stated that she did not want to do business with them. That was your call.
Also, if you know that the KofC is a Catholic organization, why did you book the party there? Was it to embarrass the KofC - a Catholic organization? Did you do it because you know their stance on gay marriage and homosexual behavior and thought that it might make for a good laugh with your buddies?
Personally, I believe that Tom Tsakounis is:
- playing the "victim" and loving all of the attention that it gets him
- a hypocrite
- a BULLY.
