Fucking hell. No hatred like religion and conservatism.

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.

Okay, this one hurts on so many levels.

Local police: boys being boys, no hate crime

Not even a hate accident.

Just a 'yup' in the alley between the men, the gun probably slipped.
So tragic.
Everyone needs more guns.

(I don't need a "/s", do I? I get surprised sometimes.)

Also not just a gay issue because

for men

• are you not a gym bro? They can just accuse you of being effeminate and do the same thing to you, even if you're straight

• are you a gym bro? They can just accuse you of being hyper masculine and obsessed with men/your looks and do the same thing to you, even if you're straight

for women the same but with femininity / hair length / makeup usage /clothing.

Glad you got out. Any idea how we fix them?

This hurts as a Texan, but also rings true. I used to think we’re more “independent” minded than the South (as I have some scary Southern family), but every day since 2016 has opened my eyes more.

The murder made me think about how much I heard “fag,” racial slurs and worse as a kid, and how many stayed in the closet out of fear.

If you come, come to Austin! It’s better. Avoid Dallas, it sucks.

I have a group of friends that I ride horses with who are wanting me to take a trip to Texas with them. I denied my invite, saying that I'd rather stay alive. As an openly gay, disabled woman who will be getting a total hysterectomy next month, I feel like I'd be vilified.
