I see it as a 13 year old boy was raped and murdered by two men.Suffocated with his own underwear
He is just as dead as Matthew Sheppard.
He is better off dead....................
What happened to him was absolutely tragic, there is no argument about that.
But I haven't seen any evidence that he was targeted and killed specifically because he was straight, by gays who sought to punish him for his sexuality, and, no matter how condemnable his rape and murder are, that makes what happened to him very different from what happened to Matthew Sheppard.
That is not to say his death is any less tragic, but the point of the discussion, I thought, was discrimination against people based on their sexuality, not the heinousness of rape and murder, on which I am certain we agree.
