I would like to once again thank everyone for there support and to let you that I refuse to let my son muder go unsolve because as much as I hate to say it I know a friend did this and I want that person to pay not for just to the fact that this person took my son life but the fact that this person had no problem doing it.

Desier, I just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting. I honored that you did so, and I want you to know that you and your family are still in my thoughts. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one either.

I want to thank everyone for their response pertaining to my son death.
I lost my best friend this person took a part of me that can never be replace my reason for going on and having the strength to do so is to bring my son killer to justice and to have him at peace then and only then will I allow myself to break down until then I will keep going and I hope the community will keep going with me.

I don’ t know how else to extend my sympathies to any survivors of this tragedy. I am not of color, but I am gay, and my life partner and I lived in the Cobble hill section of Brooklyn before moving upstate 3.5 years ago — if there is anything we can do — contribute to a reward fund, say a prayer (we are Wiccan, but we do pray) or listen to a survivor who needs someone to talk to, we would be glad to do it.

With personal regards,

Reynolds C. Jones (and Jonathan Marc Fox)

I’m a little disturbed by the fact that because it has not been classified as a hate crime, people are speculating that the perp may be gay or African American or both. We know that gay people are victims of violent crime just like anybody else, and just because we’re gay and a crime victim, it doesn’t automatically follow that it was a hate crime.

But of course, I am only commenting on the specific facts you present here for this case. All of your feelings and concerns are not only valid, but we cannot turn away from them so easily. I wish I knew where to find the answers. The only thing I can say is to keep doing exactly what you’re doing right now. Keep on providing a small light of reason and sanity through your example and in the visible example of your family. Your son will soon become one more man who can pass your values to the world for another generation.

How much sorrow can you stand, and still have strength to fight?

Yes, and how to stay open, to keep feeling, when it cuts so deep? I have been advised, and have advised myself, to avoid the news for my own sense of hope and balance — but what happens to the world when/ if those who care turn away?

There’s a part of me that understands what you are saying about another Black Gay man killing another but then I thought about the how I just said the other day how I didn’t understand how a Gay White man so easily call a Gay Black man a Nigger. I was shocked when I heard the story retold to me.

I guess what I’ve realized is what I’ve known being Gay really has nothing to do with what kind of person you are, or what you believe in or whether you’re evil or good.

YOu’re story sadly proves that we are just like everyone else.
