Internet Sleuths Find Philly Gay Bashers

Internet sleuths help police find the people who were involved with a Philadelphia gay bashing.

 

It's absolutely baffling to me that this happened in Philadelphia in 2014. In any event, I'm glad that these people got caught pretty quickly.

 

Although I'm pissed off to learn that they can't be charged with hate crimes because Pennsylvania doesn't have sexual orientation as a bias for hate crime law. Seriously, why is it that there is so much focus on getting same-sex marriage when this shit still isn't covered? It's ridiculous.

I read about this yesterday and I too couldn't believe they were not going to be charged with a hate crime. Matthew Shepard died October 12, 1998!

Well, I hope they at least get locked up for assault, bias crime laws or not. Sadly, I'm not at all surprised this happened- a lot of people still hate us, and the appearance of LGBT rights gaining firmer ground in this country is only making them more vicious in some cases. Hell, you can still get fired for being gay in some of the states that now have marriage equality. 

 

But good for that Catholic school for firing the coach. That was a bit surprising.

Yeah. All we can really do is shame the hell out of these people. I don't care what you think, but when you act on that, then you need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
