Hate Crime in Mass.

That's horrible

 

i just saw that one the news

too bad

 

I just got the chills reading that

9 HOUR SURGARY? Wow Jaw weired shut in FIVE places? He may loose his HEARING on one ear?

That is alot for someone to do to you just because your gay...it makes me so sick...

 

damn. that's practically next door to me.

 

Crazy.

 

That sucks. Though it does happen a lot, I've heard of it happening in Boston quite a bit.

 

I hope they fry the son-of -a bitch! This just makes me sick. Here we have gay marriage,yet this bull shit still goes on.
I hope Justin gets better really soon. The poor guy!

 

Wow reading things like that scares me. I hope they find the rest of those guys too.

 

I don't believe it, that's just outrageous. We just went forward a step in rights and this feels like we got pushed back two steps. That's completely horrible.

 

They want us to be afraid by this and go back into our closets, but to stop hate crimes completely I believe we all need to be out-of-the-closet, wonderful friends and coworkers to our community. If people know an exception to their "fags suck" idea, they have a harder time thinking all gay ppl are lame, eh?

EM68, your coworkers like you, right? Do you think they would laugh at gay people so easily if they knew you are gay? If you were out, you would've been able to say something to stop those ideas, at least.

Lately my girlfriend and I have been correcting people when they say "that's so gay." I know that people don't even think about it literally, but it still does damage! I believe that we have the power as individuals amongst our friends, coworkers and neighbors to truly make a change in how society views homosexuals.

 

I got gaybashed once, granted it was nothing like that, but It was still pretty bad.

I hope they get the buggers.

 

its terriible sounds like the 70's here poor guy beaten like that jsut cos of something as meaningless as sexuality it shouldent matter who u love.

 

Ed,
You don't have to come out to make your opinion known. I know how uncomfortable it must be for you ,to sit there and listen to their crap. It's a hard situation to be in,but you can let your feelings known,just the same.i.e.,"I don't deal well with bigots" or"that kind of talk makes me uncomfortable". I don't know,just a suggestion,I guess.

 

this makes me scared of telling more people im gay. im proud of who i am but i wouldnt want something like that to happen. i hope they catch those bitches.

 

Yeah... this is horrible. It's really difficult having your jaw wired shut, it happened to my sister 2 summers ago. It's surprising every time I see this in the U.S. For the most part I haven't had any problems with intolerance, so to see it to such an extreme degree is a little unnerving.
