Be My Valentine

I came across this on digg. OK for all of you shoot first ask questions later types I need to go on the defensive before I can even state my position. Gay, straight, bi or confused, which ever category you fall in is fine with me. I do not really care. Peace.
I think it is a disgrace that the young man was murdered. I also think that it is a shame that the perp has to resort to such extreme measures to express his displeasure with the victims advances. However I get the sense that there is some back story here that we are not privy to. To continue lamenting the the victim and just chalking it up as a bias crime without considering what the victim’s contributing factors to his his untimely death were is really overlooking the fact that maybe he was not as innocent as he is made out to be. If the kid was smart enough (I used the term loosely being that he was 15 years old and in the 8th grade) to be an openly gay cross dresser then he was probably savvy enough to know which males in his school he could approach with such a request. Am I the only one that see that? Come on, everybody knows that teenage males are some of the most needlessly aggressive insecure people on the planet. Looking for any opportunity to demonstrate their budding manhood.

I was taught that there is no such thing as an innocent bystander. Come on don’t be so quick to play the “poor me card”. What did he do to set the other dude off?
