This case has saddened me to no end.
I only learned about this thru the blog of a friend of mine on myspace.
Why is it that this always seems to happen to those who are looking for love?
Be it straight/gay/trans, it seems those looking for love are those who get the worst this world has to offer.
I for one, would have to say that If someone I was attracted to, turned out to have something different about them, I would embrace it, sure I might be shocked, but attack someone? I cannot even think that way, it just doesn’t make sense to me.
Sure this may be because I am still a virgin at the age of 27, and may be a bit “naive” as I have been told….
I just wish I could have met her, she sounds like she was a very beautiful woman in spirit and soul.
