The ’slow, rolling holocaust’ continues
March 14th, 2008
Later this morning I’ll be sitting down with Stephen Sprinkle (pictured above), an associate professor at Texas Christian University who’s been studying anti-gay hate crimes for the last several years.
When he spoke at last Sunday’s service in Dallas honoring 15-year-old murder victim Lawrence King of California, Sprinkle referred to what he called “a slow, rolling holocaust” of anti-gay hate crimes across the country. Sprinkle says the mainstream media has largely ignored anti-gay hate crimes since Matthew Shepard, but today we have another exception courtesy The Orlando Sentinel.
