Just put on a couple of boppy dance CD's on shuffle and appropriately a dance remix of Olivia's I Need Love played first.

The murder of anyone is terrible, homosexual or not.

Well obviously. Goes without saying.

Well obviously. Goes without saying.

Does it though? Seems to be a focus on them being homosexuals. Why does their sexuality need to be a highlighted point?

All murders are terrible but the length the murderer went to cover up his tracks were chilling especially from someone who was in a place of trust.to start with For some reason this one has hit me harder than a lot of others, just showing how easy life can be taken away by someone who is suppose to be a position of trust, someone who was suppose to protect people not kill them.

I don’t know if it’s been highlighted unnecessarily. Not that I’ve followed it that closely. I mean I haven’t followed it any more closely than the coverage of that elderly couple who were murdered a while back and dumped in the bushes by that agro road rage lunatic. There was a fair bit of focus on the fact that they were secret lovers and had been for years. The one I have read most about is the alleged mushroom poisoning suburban mother . Lots of focus on her and the church going in laws who she allegedly murdered. With the murder of the gay couple isn’t the alleged motive that the cop was jealous or something? Anyway I thought the focus was more that he’s a cop and how was someone with such an unstable personality able to join the police force and pass all the psych tests.

Yep agree. That’s the thing. How was he ever allowed to join the police force? He was calculating in the way he used police issued weapons and tried to cover his tracks.

Seems to be highlighted as a gay thing as proven by the Mardi Gras focus. It shouldn’t matter what their sexual orientation. This wasn’t a gay thing. It was two lives lost at the hands of a nutcase.

They put the gay focus on it because it was two gay guys murdered by a gay cop but it was like any other homicide, another domestic voilence case when a person was stalked and kilked by a jealous ex, there are far to many domestic voilence cases happening bevause even in AVOs are in place the police cannot guarantee the victims safety because of the derangememt or anger of the person stalking them, what made this one even seem more worse it was one of the police forces own that did it. Sad state of affairs all round and no one deserves to a victim of domestic violence.

No they don’t mate. You are 100% right on the DV issue.

I still fail to see why their sexuality needs to be a headline point.

Do we say two straights were killed by another straight when that happens? No.

I just agreed with you mate and said it was like any other DV case but i did suggest why the media would have portrayed it as a gay homicide.

Members of the gay community were killed... allegedly by a policeman, just before mardi gras. Yes all deaths are horrific but the timing and nature of this one shocked that particular community.
