where's the outrage?

from Sara Whitman at the Huffington Post today concerning the killing of a 15-year old young man in Oxnard, California for just being being gay -

While the gay community has been blazing for days about this incident, the rest of the country dozes on, reading about Michelle Obama's wardrobe choices on the campaign trail, or Roger Clemens lying his ass off on Capitol Hill.

Because this is the one kind of hate no one seems to be willing to stand up against. Let's not offend anyone who believes Jesus was anti-homosexual. Careful not to send a message of tolerance to young children in case they find some condolence in that message and face another day.

Don't worry. I get the message, loud and clear.

Just one more dead faggot.

Whitman also mentions that neither Clinton nor Obama, who support LGBTQ rights, has made no mention of this. McCain, of course, one would not expect to make a comment. He at least is honest in his pandering to the conservatives, christianists, and wingers by his silence.


so, where is the outrage?

just asking...
