    This is from part of a CNN article on the former worst attack on LGBT in the US:Before Orlando: The (former) deadliest LGBT attack in U.S. history - CNN.com

    from reported hate crimes from 1995-2008:

    'LGBT people were more than twice as likely to experience a violent hate crime attack than Jews or blacks, more than four times as likely as Muslims, nearly 14 times as likely as Latinos, and about 42 times as likely as whites.'

    Regarding the main article, I have read about it before. They left one of the bodies hanging out the window for hours and the fireman made fun of it. A crowd gathered, largely to laugh and make fun of the 'F#gs' who burned to death. The newspapers made fun, as did some of the news stations.


    *also I think it was something of a mixed crowd back then too. Gays were so hated they had to stick together in clubs, no matter who they were.
