In reply to the discussion: A thread for GLBT martyrs [View all]theHandpuppet
(19,964 posts)33. Arron Leahey, 24, Texas
24-year-old Arron Keahey was brutally assaulted by 19 year Brice Johnson. Keahey was hospitalized for 10 days in Fort Worth and was diagnosed and treated for multiple skull and facial fractures. The investigation revealed that on the night of the incident, Johnson saved Keaheys cell phone number using a gay slur as a contact name, and Johnson later stated that he was playing a prank on the victim because of his sexual orientation, again using a gay slur when referring to Keahey.
