Thorn claimed the judge had no idea what LGBTQ+ children go through and was 'basically giving a green light for them to be thought of as second-class citizens and bullied.' This statement highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the 'Don't Say Gay' law and its perceived impact on LGBTQ+ youth.
In his voicemails, Thorn threatened to endanger Judge Berger's family, stating, 'Let's see how you would like it if somebody endangered your children in school or your grandchildren in school.' This underscores the heated emotions surrounding judicial decisions on LGBTQ+ rights.
Thorn submitted a letter of apology stating, 'I want to sincerely apologize for any emotional distress this caused this judge and/or her immediate family members or staff.' His attempt at remorse contrasts with the severity of his threats.
Thorn remarked on his advocacy work, stating, 'I spent a large portion of my teaching career advocating for LGBTQ+ public school students and volunteering for LGBTQ+ youth advocacy organizations.' This context gives insight into Thorn's motivations and the contradiction in his actions.
