    That's really sad to hear...but I'm not really sure how this fits under LGBT news. I mean its sad to lose a member of our community but 1. the man was in the park to have sex and public sex isn't right in my opinion, 2. the man turned violent and Esposito was defending himself, and 3. this clearly was not a hate crime, it even says on page 4 that Esposito is not homophobic in any way, shape or form. So I'm just curious why this is in the news section. No offense to Defarra...I think every life is sacred and it's just sad he died because of this, but I'm also just not sure why this is relevant to LGBT News, Rights, Issues and Equality unless it's about the whole public sex thing.

    I just posted the story so that everyone could draw their own conclusions on it.

    i think its good the news/stories are posted but i agree with revan that i dont really see any relevance, the guy turned out to be a sleazy violent guy...public sex *yuck* but its not really anything to do with us...other than teh sex and well it aint our fault thats how he wanted to get his kicks.
