"It took courage to stop pretending."

°•*⁀➷

This is completely insane.

The bigotry that exists in this country baffles me. The way that opinions are seen as fact and never corrected, always coming back to hurting another minority group.

Will it ever end?

I think recent events just proves that it won't.

I'm sad. And I'm glad Elon Green decided to tell this story of a "forgotten" serial killer simply because the victims were gay men instead of beautiful white women. I'm so very sad.

When Elon explained that "gay panic" used to be a plea used to excuse killing a gay man because of the "fear for their own life" I could not believe what I was hearing. The way that we've adapted that into something completely different from a "VALID EXCUSE" to kill people...

As for the three stars, it wasn't the most well thought out writing structure I've ever seen. But that doesn't take away from how good the content was.
