– he brutally beat a young gay man, with the intent of killing him, in a jail cell where the man had no way of escaping, because the man was staring at him

– he horrifically abused and sexually assaulted his girlfriend, including holding her head under a sink and threatening to drown her

– he beat his girlfriend to the point of blindness while she was pregnant and then used his fans to further intimidate her into not testifying against him

– then later said he wouldn’t change any of his actions.

i am sick of seeing people try to justify his actions and their “r.i.p” posts by saying “his music was good”.

i have empathy for the family and friends who knew him before he was violent and abusive but the man himself deserves no respect. he lost that right because of his actions and karma caught up with him.

the bottom line is death does not automatically give you a free pass from being a horrible person in life. 

if you would like to donate to geneva ayala, the abused woman in question, here is a link to her gofundme. her goal for her surgeries is already met, but she is currently trying to move away from the city to find refuge from the harassment she is facing from her abuser’s fans. she still needs help with living expenses, etc. so please spread the word and consider donating if you are able.

LGBT kids coming out to their parents is literally one of the most heartbreaking things re: heteronormativity. Like it’s considered 100% normal for LGBT *children* to beg their parents to support and love them. The fact that most people will say stuff like “I’m still the same person” and “I hope you still love me” is… disgusting, because the lack of love and support is the assumed outcome. & then you have parents who will cry, ask their child “where did I go wrong?” or even saying things like “I’ll support you no matter what” because it’s the norm (and socially acceptable thing to do) to not support your child if/when you find out they’re LGBT… That said, parents accepting their child for being LGBT does not automatically make them a good parent and not accepting/loving your child for being LGBT is straight up child abuse.
