I hate how they are trying to turn this into "The killers didn't know him so they didn't know he was gay, so they didn't really mean it when they were shouting "Faggot" while beating him to death".
Newsflash: every day members of the LGBT community have to deal with people that don't know them saying stuff about them, sometimes directly to them, sometimes to others or even to themselves but with a tone and intention to be heard.
The guy was doing a videocall with one of his lesbian friends and her girlfriend, I'm sure he was acting like many gay guys would and this was noticed by the animals that killed him.
The saddest part is seeing the "but they didn't know him, so they couldn't have known he was gay" narrative invading not only social media but the press. Where are those people living?

‘Justice for Samuel’: Outrage in Spain over the fatal beating (and possible homophobic murder) of a 24-year-oldSamuel Luiz, 24, died early Saturday in the Spanish city of A Coruña after a fatal beating by a group of people near a nightclub. The Police already questioned 13 people on Monday and the security cameras that recorded what happened are being essential in the investigation.
The first hypotheses suggest that it all began with a dispute over a mobile phone from one of the friends Samuel was with. Apparently, the young woman made a video call and the attackers thought she was recording them. They approached her violently and Samuel tried to reassure them.
One of them punched him and then the rest joined in kicking the victim until they decided to flee and leave him half dead on the ground. He died when he was taken by ambulance to the hospital.One of Samuel’s friends explained that the beating occurred while they yelled “fag” at him. In a tweet, another friend of the victim, who was not present at the time of the attack, claims that he was killed because of his sexual orientation. This message has set fire to social networks.
Through the ‘hashtag’ #JusticiaParaSamuel, many Internet users, including politicians and artists, have asked for justice and for the crime to be clarified.
For their part, the Police have not confirmed until now that there was a homophobic motivation in the murder. The delegate of the Executive in Galicia, José Miñones, said this Monday that no hypothesis is ruled out. Miñones asked “prudence and respect for the work of the Police, which continues with the open investigation.”Meanwhile, the subdelegate of the Government in A Coruña, María Rivas, commented that “it is a specific event”, without confirming that it was a homophobic attack.
The Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, condemned what happened and asked to build “a freer society in which we leave no room for hatred”.
“All the affection to his family and friends. What a sad day! Personal, social and legal reproach for those who overflow with brutality and homophobia,” wrote the head of the Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera.
Likewise, LGTBI associations have organized rallies in several cities to denounce what they consider to be a homophobic crime. -
So angry at how some try to brush off the homophobic angle
I was gladly surprised to find the manifestations downtown tonight completely packed with thousands claiming for justice.
Spain: Police probe suspected hate crime targeting gay man

MADRID -- Authorities in northwestern Spain are asking for time to fully investigate the death of a 24-year-old man that sparked widespread condemnation after friends of the victim claimed he was targeted and beaten to death for being gay.
LGBTQ2S+ activists have called for protests in dozens of cities across Spain later on Monday and members of Spain's left-wing Cabinet have condemned the death of Samuel Luiz in the early hours of Saturday as a hate crime.
Police are reviewing surveillance cameras and questioning over a dozen suspects and witnesses who were outside a nightclub in the city of A Coruna at the time the crime took place, the government's delegate in the northwestern Galicia region said Monday.
Luiz's friends told Spain's El Mundo newspaper that the suspects began attacking Luiz, who was on a video call with a friend at the time, because they believed he was trying to record them. The attackers used a derogatory word for homosexuals, according to the friends' version of the events.
“We are at the early stages, only the investigation will tell us if whether it was a homophobic crime or not,” the delegate, Jose Minones, told reporters. He called for “prudence” in depicting the events.
No arrests have been made so far, Minones said.
The death comes amid a spike in attacks on LGBTQ2S+ people. Activist groups claim that official statistics only capture a fraction of the problem because many incidents are not reported.
Social Rights Minister Ione Belarra was criticized by many on social media for being too quick in condemning Luiz's death as a “hate crime” when she sent a tweet on Sunday with her condolences to the victim's relatives and friends.
“We want a country free of violence where everybody feels free to be who they are,” Belarra tweeted

Now that Jessica has completed her transformation, next on the needy attention seeker line. He looks ok so far but it will be interesting to see just how far he'll go. He's into much older men who'll fund his surgery so form a queue ladies.
Man spends £10,000 a year to look like a Ken doll
This one had a better base for this sort of stuff though. Rodrigo was always more Chucky than Ken. This one looks a plastic mess BUT reminiscent of Ken so misión accomplished.

I thought those were official accounts for the president and the first lady. Whoever they are.
Will Twitter delete the followers and hand the account to Joe Biden and Dr. Biden?
As far as I know, yes. Clean slate.

He will obviously be a 1 term president at his age will Harris be the candidate in 4 years? I know we should live in the moment sorry for jumping the gun already
I was thinking the same thing. They should start planning the next step now as the republicans are. Not sure if Kamala or Major Pete Buttplug would be easy to sell tbh.
Funny how Trump would be as old as "senile" "sleepy Joe" is now by 2024. Will be fun to see them spin that somehow.
24 year old guy beaten to death in Northern Spain over his sexuality during Pride weekend

SMH.
I hope the LGBT community does not stay quiet and let them get away with this escape route.
Every day gay men get attacked, be it verbally or even physically, by people that don't know them or have confirmation of their sexuality. Being sure doesn't matter to the attacker.
That cannot be an excuse.
"They were just saying it as an insult". It's not the same saying that to a jock than to a somewhat effeminate guy while you and your gang of friends hit him until he's he's longer responding. Denying this is irresponsible.
