Only the local LA Times even ran with the story and even they buried it deep in the local news section.. It had been on MSNBC yesterday while the story was breaking but I guess once they figured out that the boy deserved it (I mean, he was “feminine” for Christ’s sake) the story disappeared from there as well.

What reports there are say the killer was a quiet, church-going boy. His parents and his preacher must be so proud of him!

Sen. Clinton is so far the only candidate to speak out about the terrible situation faced by gay teens. They are five times more likely to be attacked with weapons and equally as many times more likely to commit suicide.
