LGBTQ Hate Crime in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is known for being very anti-gay ... in fact it is illegal to be openly gay in Bangladesh as well as many of the surrounding nations.  Yesterday, a man who works at the US Embassy and it the editor of Bangladesh's first LGBTQ magazine was hacked to death, according to the Daily Skimm.  His friend was also murdered.  

This is just one of several attacks that have happened in recent weeks - many of the people who have been killed by anti-gay groups (like Islamic Extremists) are proponents of free speech.

Though this story is disheartening and overwhelming, it is important to note that the western media is covering is and that they are appalled.  As we discuss HB2 here in North Caroline is interesting to also considering what is going on with the LGBTQ community in other nations.
