Don’t forget that they had received homophobic threats about burning their house down. I have zero doubt in my mind the murderer was just upset they didn’t die in the fire.

It was years of threats, mostly from the same guy that shot him. Cops ignored the reports, and then instantly declared that no hate crime was committed without investigating anything.

They didn't realize that he knew a-listers, tried to sweep it under the rug, and now they have an international spotlight on them

Yeah let’s see what it leads to. I’m not holding my breath. Having the international spotlight on you seems to mean very little today in the fascist infused homophobic mindset. A whole lotta fist shaking

Yeah, whats its name? What church does it spread its hate at? We need to keep ourselves safe, and right now, that means showing we arent weak.
