You can't push to sentence a gay man to die because he 'might enjoy living with men in prison'. As I said before, that sets a dangerous precedent that could lead to gay people getting harsher sentences than their straight counterparts.

You can gloss over it all you want but all that achieves is condoning discriminatory treatment in the law.

But he won't be the only gay man convicted in South Dakota surely?. But for some reason this particular story is making headlines and it's being spun into a predjudice argument.

How do you know it's not just another BS story??!! .

And the prison comment about men being together is pretty disgusting ,I can't imagine anyone with a brain saying something so ignorant about a guy "enjoying it " , if that's the case then why don't they care about every straight man that gets sentenced in prison in risk of getting abused there ?.

We all know in both male & female prison violence & abuse happens .
But anyway I'm going off topic , I'm not missing the point either as the man is still a murderer . Now if he'd been WRONGLY arrested & accused then that's a different story .

I've already said America is frustrating with their different laws and punishment's on every state , I've watched crime programs which makes us scratch our heads at the different sentences and punishment's .
