Nothing about games today.

Instead, I regretfully report the news that popped onto my newsfeeds this morning that, whatever your stance on homosexuality, is just upsetting. Click here for the details.

To summarize, there was a school shooting on Febuary 12 that nobody seemed to hear about. Lawrence King, a 15-year-old high school student, was shot and murdered by his 14-year-old classmate, Brian McInerney. It was confirmed this murder seemed to have no direct connection to disturbed individuals or heavy metal or video games this time; rather, it was confirmed to be a hate crime against Lawrence King who was openly homosexual.

I don’t know what your personal stance is on homosexuality. You can hate it, you can accept it. You can be against it, you can be for it. But there’s nothing that excuses you from murdering someone for it. You can justify it to yourself any way you want–to most of the rest of the world, you’re likely to be seen as heinous, disturbed, criminal and morbid.

A PSA was issued on March 10 by GLSEN on LOGOOnline.com to commemorate his unjust murder.

May he rest in peace.
