The murderer of Annie Le pled guilty today (he could be out in 27 years, which doesn’t please me) but I was struck by this picture of the young woman’s parents and her fiance. Ms. Le was killed on her wedding day and until now, it never occurred me that she was to marry another woman. The pain is the same, of course, but my assumptions were wrong, Times have changed,and that’s not a bad thing. I’m not becoming a PC confessionist, but I do have family members in this new mix, and I’m okay with all of it. Screw the Right.
UPDATE: readers have alerted me that I got this all wrong and that the photograph shows the murderer’s parents and his fiance.I’m leaving it up as evidence that you should never trust me to get things right but also because, it doesn’t really matter. This was a posting about a horrible event, and nothing is really changed by my screwing up the sexual preference of the victim.
