The Jonathan Joss murder is horrifying. Anyone who thinks we don’t need Pride, or that LGBTQIA people don’t need everyone’s support and protection is willfully delusional.
He and his husband reported a neighbor that directly threatened to burn their house down, and the cops did absolutely nothing. These events were likely the same person with this horrid totem they displayed at the burned down house.
