Originally the couple mentioned in the article was the same as the one featured in the documentary Bully. In one segment, one teen, while discussing about her relationship with her current girlfriend, talked about her coming out and how she wasn't going to depart from her hometown because in doing so, her enemies would win. While her actions are unrelatable to that of Hester Prynne of the famous piece of fiction The Scarlet Letter, seeing her being ostracized from the other civilians proved that most men and women remain to be unable to accept the fact that the LGBT community's increasing grow as well as its declaration for wanting to be respected. However, rather than accepting the men and women who have found solace with others of their same sex, the LGBT community are hunted down and, like the couple mentioned below treated as nothing but game. In other words, disgust riles inside me as I weep for the woman left behind and saved from the attack who is suffering from a great loss. Her partner's six feet under and the person/people responsible for the attack are nowhere to be found. Here's to Ms. Chapa for a successful recovery.
