Sounds like you've got a serial killer out there targeting the gay community, Insector Doofus...

Never mind all that crap, where's the insane howls of rage from the Freepers after last night's defeat for the forces of darkness? Here we are now, entertain us!

So... you're saying that homosexual couples were the target of violent killers? o_O What has this got to do with rage rainbows?

Well, my wife loves true crime books, and according to her, there's only one serial killer involved in really disturbing, extreme stuff who you could fairly call "gay": Jeffrey Dahmer. The rest of the major serial killers are straight or paedophile men*. Further, the only (arguably) lesbian serial killer widely known is Aileen Wuornos - who only shot her victims, not bad considering the torture she endured herself - and straight women like Catherine Knight far outshine her in the brutality field.
In short, straight men tend to commit much more violent crime and do so much more often than queer men. This is not only speculation, but also confirmed by studies.
I would guess that the only truth in Daddy's statement might be that more men involved means more mess. Women tend to be clean and distant killers (most female serial killers are poisoners), but men get their hands dirty (knives and other bladed weapons are favourites of male serial killers).
In Australia, some horrific murders have involved gay men. The gay men are universally coerced into abetting (by their 'straight' prison boyfriends), or are the victims themselves, or in the Snowtown case, both.
That was long, but I have lots of info... And none of it corroborates your assertion.
*Excepting Gacy, whose sexuality is ambiguous: he himself identified as bi later on, and paedophilic tendencies have been pointed out by others.

Even if this were true, it's not like we don't regularly see outpourings of homicidal hatred from Free Republic, so they have no right to talk.

"I’m actually surprised that there hasn’t been more of this. "
That's because there hasn't been any of this. It's all politically correct fiction.

I'm not sure what the point is here. Is this a criticism of gay people for making a mess whilst being murdered? Or is the suggestion that their sexual orientation dictates the violence of such crimes?
Whatever, it seems that dear old Dad may have passed on a whiff of homophobia to junior.

I'm guessing this account is apocryphal, at any rate it's not a representative sample of the gay community. But even if it were, don't you think that a lot of this seething rage and self-hatred might come from conservatives' belief that gay people are sick perverts who have sex with animals & children as well as each other, and should be locked up and/or killed and consequently treat them as such?

He's saying that domestic murders between gay couples are worse than between straight couples. Of course, just because a murder scene involves a gay couple does not mean that one of them is the murderer, but when have these people ever used basic logic.

You know, if it really was this way, you'd think it would show up in some statistic - and you could, you know, not tell stories about what your daddy said but to those statists.

long ago homosexuals were dehumanized, demonized, and vilified. I would probably be pretty murderous too under those circumstances.

Well since you say your dad was a photographer for a police department tell us which department he worked for so we (for those who want to) can see the pics because...
Pics or it didn't happen.
Also, for the longest time, domestic violence between homosexual couples were often ignored and brushed aside by police departments across the United States, so I can imagine there being, unfortunately, more deaths as a result of this.
However, that did not mean that the deaths were any more gory or gruesome as deaths from domestic violence from a heterosexual couple.

The department should have the pics or other documentation, calls to the address, officers' reports, etc. to back you up. Proof, or it didn't happen.
@ Grimsoncrow, my parents told me Rex was taken to a farm near Worcester when I was a kid. I believed them, too, until I started hearing more and more stories about more and more dogs going off to farms. Rex probably went to the vet to be put to sleep, and his remains are at the bottom of Lake Quinsigamond.

Re: Leighton,
Not to worry, I'm sure post election results not to mention votes for same sex marriage in three states (plus Minnesota not amending the constitution) will supply fstdt with enough material for weeks or months to come, just need to give shell-shocked nutjobs some time to regroup.

Meanwhile in the real world gay men tend to be the victims of brutal crimes.
