Warning: the true story is harsh and violent and difficult to read.
What Happened to Aaron Hall?

A group of men in a small town in Indiana brutally beat and tortured one of their friends to death. Their defense seems to boil down to "he was gay and he hit on us," so they beat him for 24 hours straight, and then shot him with a shotgun. Funny thing is, Aaron Hall wasn't gay, and everyone in his small town knew it. But the disgusting vermin who beat him to death seem to think that claiming "he hit on us" will let them get away with murder.

Sometimes I hate my country, when the dominant culture is arrogant and hurtful and so very horribly wrong. This is one of those times.

I can't speak more; I'm angry and upset and nauseated and full of hate myself right now. But I'm taking action to support the Human Rights Campaign... it takes only seconds to send an online letter if you live in the U.s.. I hope you'll take some kind of action of your own, whatever that may be.
