From the sentencing today in a case from Detroit.

Sal Vonatti is a 31year old gay man from Windsor Canada shot at close range outside of a Detroit bar after being called "faggot" by the gunman. He is still in a coma.

The gunman was found guilty and sentenced for up to 12 years.

The Judges comments:
"It haunts this court, Mr. Williams, that you choose to harm someone so vulnerable... Like you, Mr. Vonatti is a son, brother, uncle, cousin, friend and lover. He loved and was loved and was on this earth to be left alone in peace and happiness. Who and how he loved was none of your business and was no threat to you and the community... Let's also get one other thing straight that came up in trial. Homosexuality is not a 'lifestyle' or 'choice..' Homosexuality is no different than the color of your eyes or hair; you come out of your mother's womb with no choice in the matter. After all, would anyone in their right mind choose to be homosexual with predators like you shooting them in the head for being gay? Defying the issue as one of choice only makes it easier to hate, condemn and harm as you so illustrate."

Well said.
