A new trend has been noticed in the US. It's called Burn The Fag. More than two openly gay men have been burned this month with one dead. What amazes me is the public media are not saying much about this inhumane act. What do you think?

I only count one incident and one victim. Admittedly, that's one too many but I wouldn't exactly call it a "trend".

Though I suppose you don't want it to become one, right?

What kind of people could actually purposefully burn someone else??

[JamesSavik]

I stand corrected. It's happened twice in a country of four hundred million. Everybody shit your pants!

Apalling! Though I wouldn't quite call it a trend, not yet anyway and with luck it won't be the start of one either.

Drunk stupid people would be my guess.

Homophobic sociopaths.

i miss when the term "burn a fag" meant smoking a cigarette ...

I thought it good to mention that the three men involved in the burning from last weekend have been jailed and bail has been set at 250,000.

Time to give some payback -- With intrest.

LGBT hate crimes has finally received media attention in our country fairly recently. Before, they were not considered hate crimes, but instead, all blame goes to the homosexual for being a homosexual (which means the person is irresponsible, conspicuous, untrustworthy, etc.).

 

Anyway, I'm thinking that burning could be a hate crime. But then again, crime happens, whether it is against LGBT or not.

Homophobic sociopaths.

 

Just sociopaths in general.

It's happened again.... http://unicornbooty.com/blog/2011/11/11/transgender-teen-found-burned-to-death-on-detroit-highway/

People have a history of burning people of a minority, especially in areas where people are more radical and close minded....

I believe they've taken the phrase 'flaming gays' too literally. However, something like this happening in Texas shouldn't be too surprising. I'm not sure where the second incident happened, but the third was in Scotland. It just shows how small minds can be scared by nearly anything. If you don't believe that, just ask the medieval witches that were burned at the stake.

My country whips people who are gay so you have to be really discreet

I can't figure out why us gay people get a bad rap. It's not like we are running around trying to change everybody.
