Today, January 16th, I am mourning David Anderson. He meant the world to me, and I will never let his spirt die. He was my life partner, my lover and my best friend.

David was taken before his time by 3 teenagers while he was walking back to his dorm. He was just walking out of a nearby cafe, had his messenger bag slung over his shoulder and started walking. These kids somehow knew David was gay or were just lashing out. Maybe it was the patch on his bag or it was a guess. They each had a baseball bat and beat Him to a bloody pulp. The police arrested all three boys and hushed up Davids murder. These boys only spend 3years in jail.

This all happened on January 16, 2006 in detroit, michagan. David left Minnesota (where both he and I met and fellin love.) to go to school in detroit for an aviation certification.

I want to spread awareness around of the hate that is happening in our country under our noses. David was the most loving caring man alive and he was still murdered for being different then the norm. Why must we hate? Can't we treat all human beings as equals?
