NPR (7/13, Kahn) reports that the trial of Brandon McInerney in Southern California for "killing a gay classmate is bringing national attention to the problem of gay bullying. Prosecutors in Southern California say the defendant murdered 15-year-old Lawrence King out of his hatred of homosexuals, but defense attorneys say their client snapped after being repeatedly harassed by the openly gay teen." The piece notes that the gay community has focused on the case to draw attention to anti-gay bullying.
