Homophobia leads to a four year old's death

In short a crazed homophobic nut killed a four year old because he thought the child was gay. He then proceeded to kill a woman who was a potential witness.



"Peter Lucas Moses, the leader of a Durham, N.C. polygamist group, has admitted to killing his ex-girlfriend and a 4-year-old boy...According to WRAL news, prosecutors say Moses shot the boy because he thought he was gay and then killed McKoy because he feared she would tell police. Their bodies were buried in plastic bags behind a Durham house."


This is crazy!

How much longer can we in America tolerate people espousing homophobic beliefs? Maybe we wouldn't have been able to save this child in case but maybe others can be rescued. As someone who self identifies as a cynical depressing bastard with a bleak outlook on life the amount of hatred towards gays in my homeland still manages to shock me every now and then.

Things like this remind me that every chance we get we need to be taking action for equality and defending the marginalized.

The problem is not that he is homophobic, the problem is that he killed 2 people. Crazy people kill people.

Yeah I'm not sure if we can chalk this up to homophobia being the true issue. Yeah it's silly to be homophobic, but there is something a little more wrong with the guy than his fear of gays.

You know TL has a habit of first replies either being really stupid, or exactly what needs to be said.

This has nothing to do with homophobia

Being homophobic isn't a crime or something that is wrong, just like how being homosexual isn't a crime. It's exactly as T.O.P. said it, the problem is he killed two people. People who denounce homophobes are on the same level as them and vice versa.

It depends on what society considers reasonable. I would suggest that treating people differently based on who they are attracted to is discriminatory and reasonable to denounce. For example we denounce hate speech even though those that spout it claim they are just voicing their views. Sometimes there is a right and wrong way to approach things.

Also wrong =/= illegal or visa versa

So if i'm a Laker's fan it's not okay to discriminate you or denounce you if you're a Celtics fan? I feel like humans are just overly sensitive when it comes to "controversial" topic. It's unfair how I can freely say I hate the Celtics but can't freely say I hate gays because it's not politically acceptable.

Exactly my point. We are in this era where liberalism is taking over the world by a storm, and it's really not as black and white as you think. It's wrong for a person to kill homosexuals because they are homophobes, just as it is wrong for a person to kill homophobe because they are homosexuals. Treating people differently based on who they are happens all the fucking time, from things like physical appearance, race, personality, gender, etc. This is no different.

Your choice of basketball team is not the same as someone's sexuality.

If homophobia didn't exist he would have killed the boy because he thought he was possessed by demons. Homophobia didn't "lead" to anything, craziness did.

I repeat illegal =/= wrong or visa versa.

I disagree that in a modern society we should accept people being treated based on their gender, race or sexual preference. These things are predominantly biologically driven and so the individual has limited choice in changing them. Just because people treat them differently doesn't mean we should be indifferent about it.

Since when has apathy become the new black?

You're probably just ignorant to the fact that sports team affiliation is biologically predetermed.

This guy sounds like he is insane to be honest and he just wanted an excuse to kill someone.
