gaycism:

I can’t fucking believe my eyes. A man is being sentenced to death because he’s gay and a lifetime in prison would be something he would enjoy. This is sickening. Everyone should know about this.

During deliberations, the jury had often discussed the fact that Mr. Rhines was gay and there was “a lot of disgust” about it, one juror recalled in an interview, according to the court petition. Another said that jurors knew he was gay and “thought that he shouldn’t be able to spend his life with men in prison.” A third recounted hearing that if the jury did not sentence Mr. Rhines to death, “if he’s gay, we’d be sending him where he wants to go.”
