You remember when you saw Brokeback Mountain and (hopefully) thought about how sad it was that Jake Gyllenhall got murdered for being into dick? Well, add fifty years and a decided lack of community growth, and you get today's story:
This is Marco MacMillian. He was running an innovative mayoral campaign as perhaps the first out candidate for such an office in Mississippi, and his body was found along a riverbed yesterday. It appears that his car was involved in an accident, but his body was taken elsewhere. Now the case is a homicide investigation. It seems clear from the few available details that this was a targeted murder.
Now, we can spend some time guessing as to why this upstanding citizen was murdered, but we don't need to spend much.
So, for all of the readers who voiced anger with my portrayal of the gay situation in Mississippi, just so you know, this shit is where I'm coming from. Hate crimes are totally Mississippi's bag.
