LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY britzkrieg)

In Florida, a man has been convicted of second-degree murder in the beating death of his young son. The father either thought the boy was gay or was afraid he would grow up gay if he wasn't "toughened up." His parents "studied Bible verses with friends from Deeper Life Ministries" as the boy lay dying.

It looks like the criminal courts remain unimpressed by defenses like the father's. That should give us all some hope. The mother is also facing serious criminal charges.
