[Trigger warning for homophobia and anti-gay violence] I have been closely following news about the murder of Stuart Walker, a gay man who was murdered in Scotland, not just because I have gay family in Scotland, and not just because I regularly write about homophobic violence, but because of the multiple rumors surrounding the killing, including a teen girl gang originally being sought and the rape accusations against the victim by a convicted rapist. So much fuckery. So much to be deconstructed, I don't even know where to begin. See Andy here and here.
