From a pro gay website:

Gay Couple Murdered in Kentucky

An investigation is underway in Kentucky after Jennifer Lynn Smith confessed to the killings of an gay couple who were murdered separately in their homes last week in Louisville, Kentucky. She told officials that she and her partner, Dale Moneypenny, stabbed Charles Poynter, 43, to death in his home and then she set the home ablaze with a lighter.

The couple then apparently drove to the home of Poynter's partner, Blaine Thacker jr., 73, and murdered and robbed him. Smith said they told Thacker they needed a place to stay.
Moneypenny is still on the loose and police have not released any details of a motive in the case, but did say that the two couples were acquaintances. Moneypenny apparently has an extensive rap sheet that includes, burglary, assault, and auto theft. (Video)

Its not on the news Mike, cause didn't you get the memo, they don't want people to hear bout all that "gay" nonsense.... This is just sick and sad. Why can't people just get over themselves... My husband and I have friends who have had trash thrown at them, been pushed down, been called the vialist of names, all because they are gay... Its a sad sad world and it has to STOP...

Now a statement of the gay political agenda:

In red states, pockets of tolerance does not define acceptance. Louisville is such a pocket, but as you can see, hate speech often translates into hate behaviours.

Now the real story comes out, first, these two men weren't a gay couple as reported:

I knew Eddie,the younger victim, pretty well, and had met Blaine a few times also. Unfortunately Eddie had a bad drug/alcohol habit, and I think that's how he was acquainted with the murderers. Actually, Eddie and Blaine were just friends(very old ones). They were never lovers, just good friends, though they were both gay. Just to clarify that little bit...

Then someone points out these two criminals were crackheads, not gay bashers:

dale moneypenny is not the guy you think he is he did not target gays i know this because he was my friend for 4 years and he had never done anything like this he was strung out on crack my mom is gay and shows it and he had no problem with that he was looking for a way out you all are just looking for a reson to say no one like gays
