Incredible Reporting of a Sad Tale

[Ryan]

A local alternative paper here in the Northwest "The Stranger" (famous for Dan Savage) wrote a great investigative story about a gay bashing during last year's gay pride. Not just about the incident itself, but about the principals in the story, their interconnection to Christian Evangelicalism, and the background stories of the 3 bashers and the single victim. All would seem victims to me, some more, some less. Well written. And I think it would be of interest to you guys. Hope so. Check out the link.

I would understand if this posting ended up in the politics/religion room, but hope it is generalizable to the Lounge. Be well, my friends.

Excellent story. Thanks. In all religions I know of, especially Christian, the idea of love for our fellow man is strongly taught as well as "do unto other as you would have them due unto you." What happened here?

I am amazed. My heart goes out to this poor guy. Thanks for sharing this story.
