kittydesadeOkay, this is an odd request...
In my novel, Different, the main protagonists are a showy, cocky, shiny musician with a penchant for silver vinyl and a hidden streak of albinism (optical, mostly). A hard-as-nails, Gaiman-Death-resembling, ball-busting sex-on-a-stick bitch who's secretly a bleeding-heart good church-going girl who likes Shakespeare and Milton. And a pre-op transsexual bartender, webmistress, and generally Sweet Young Girl. The whole big book thing is about identity, preservation and survival of identity, blah blah blah. It's on my writing journal.
Now. The antagonists are a giant nebulous group of violent haters. Racist, homophobic, etc. Big burly white guys with blonde hair and flat Midwestern accents. The only problem is they're still a nebulous group of violent haters because I have no idea how to make a hate group that's more homophobic than racist. And I have no idea where to look for a pre-existing group. Most of the rabid 'family values' people I can think of are middle-aged to just-plain-aged white men with wives and children and aren't terribly inclined to starting riots in bars. And I need riots in bars types.
So. Does anyone have any idea where I might look? Incidents from your own lives, newspaper articles, communities, gangs, websites? I know this shit exists, I know it does. But I just can't find the specifics and for whatever reason I have no idea where to look!
Thank you!
