Thank you for clarifying the sentiments as I had intended. It disturbed me that the attack against my friend was not counted as a “hate crime” and it bothered me even more that people could overlook what happened to him. Everyone is someone to somebody. We all should count.

Terrence, thank you for your series- these are mportant stories and should not be forgotten. I’m sending a link to the story of Charlie Howard; I didn’t know him, but he was just a few years older than me and his death has reasonated with many for years.

When he died, I was attending college in Bangor and was horrified- not only with the insane cruelty of the act, but in the ease with my father and his drinking pals’ ability to make light of it. Joking that gays in Bangor were now walking hand-in-hand, wearing orange lifejackets.

I moved away as fast as I could from the bigotry and hatred.

Thanks… I’ve read your blog for quite awhile (found via Pandagon and Pam Spaulding) and appreciate your site very much.

I want to thank you so much for keeping Daniel’s memory alive. My hometown is just twenty miles from Waverly where Daniel was murdered, which is why his story was so compelling to me.

Thank you for a job well done.
