Great news for the families and friends of Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado and Jayron Martin.
The Puerto Rico Department of Justice has agreed to investigate Jorge's murder as a hate crime. This is big in Puerto Rico.
Jorge was horribly murdered by Juan Martinez Matos, who claimed Gay Panic.
Jayron Martin, the teen who was beaten with a pipe because he was gay, finally has some movement in his case. According to Rod 2.0, one guy has been arrested and possibly charged with an assault and a hate crime.
I hope Jayron and that teen gets some type of counseling for all of this drama.
Tnx to Rod 2.o for finding the info.
V, I was so happy to see that they were going to pursue this crime as a hate related crime.
ReplyDeleteI hope the two of you have a terrific holiday!
Dog dammit this "gay panic" bullshit is So Fucking Tired.
ReplyDeleteNext time a girl hits on me I'm cutting her head off 'cuz she thinks I'm straight.
Trust me the hate is real. It is institutionalized.
