Agenda Bender puzzles about the fact that Rod Dreher believes the media is suppressing a story about murder by a gay man. Oddly, Dreher finds the story in the gay press.

Note to Dreher: There are about 15,000 murders per year. That's an average of about 40 per day. The reasons why some get national attention and some don't is very complicated, but the fact every time a horrible crime is committed by a gay man the headlines don't scream "EVIL GAY MAN COMMITS EVIL GAY HATE CRIME" isn't evidence of the Overwheming Power of the Lavender Conspiracy.
