There was testimony yesterday, at the Supreme Court, by some Southern legislators, saying they either don't discriminate any longer or the do it less so, hey, that same court should do away with the 1964 Voting Rights Act.
Right.
Got it.
Except look what news just broke today:
Openly Gay Mayoral Candidate In Mississippi Found Dead
From the article:
Mississippi police are investigating the death of Marco McMillian
as a homicide after the body of the state’s first openly gay mayoral
candidate was found Wednesday near the levee in Coahoma County. The
34-year-old McMillian had declared his candidacy for mayor of
Clarksdale, Mississippi.
ABC News is reporting
that authorities have a person of interest in custody, but that person
has not been formally charged. McMillian’s sexual orientation opens the
door for the case to be charged as a hate crime, but so far it appears
it is not being investigated that way.
Hey, the fact is, given that he's both gay and black, I'd think they'd look into it being a possible "hate crime."
