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
