After news broke about a man murdered in Port Harcourt for being homosexual, one troubling comment tried to rationalize the violence, saying, “Beaten is enough not killing.” Though it may seem like the commenter condemned murder, the statement still condones physical assault—an equally unacceptable form of hate and abuse. No one deserves to be beaten or harmed because of their sexuality. Violence in any form is wrong, and trying to draw a line between “beating” and “killing” only normalizes cruelty. True justice means protecting everyone’s right to live free from violence, discrimination, and fear, regardless of who they are.
