NYT: "a way of life he didn’t like"

Sadly, this quote come from Kareem Fahim's article, "New Hate-Crime Murder Trial, This Time in Brooklyn", in the New York Times. Gay or not, it shows how homophobia and any other kind of prejudice can be destructive to all people, when there are those who violently act out merely because of perceptions (in this case misperceptions).

"
“He didn’t like what they looked like,” the prosecutor added. “He didn’t like that they were Hispanic. From his eyes, it appeared they were a gay couple, a way of life he didn’t like and wasn’t going to tolerate.”"
