Jussie Smollett Verdict Has Nothing to do with Real Anti-Gay Violent Crimes That Happen All the Time

When I first heard the story about Jussie Smollett I believed him. And I believed him because I know that anti-gay hate crimes are real and they happen all the time. I even believed him a little longer than most people because I’ve seen how real these crimes truly are. Unfortunately, Jussie turned out to be a huge disappointment. 

And I think this needs to be said. It’s a piece written by Michael Crawford and he talks about his experience with anti-gay hate and anti-gay violence. 

I learned at an early age to be on guard for possible violence. I was a shy-looking Black kid with thick glasses who preferred a book in my hand than a basketball. A mama’s boy with a walk that was just feminine enough to signal to friend and foe that I was gay. 

Here’s more. It’s really a shame about Jussie because he could have been so much better and done so much more with his platform.
