androiduser 7,438 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The homophobic media and conservative groups will try to portray this as a result of a lover's quarrel and use it as evidence that gay people are corrupt and murderous. The arrest is probably a part of that narrative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the portion that he was arrested as part of the narrative is an accusation without any basis Homophobic cops or investigators being biased and more likely to make an arrest is definitely something that must happen... but was it the case in this particular case? It's a big thing to just accuse without any kind of evidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
