It doesn't matter if he was gay or not, or further, whether he "picked [anyone] up." That's garden variety victim-blaming. What happened is a real tragedy. But what's worse, are reactions that imply that Wone, in anyway, deserved this.

KBTMtP - You are an idiot. Were Mr. Wone to have brought someone to the house who subsequently killed him, Mssr. Ward, Price and Zaborsky would have been shocked to find his body and would have called 911 immediately, instead of waiting until he was dead. When the 911 dispatcher asked if they needed the police as well as an ambulance, they would have said "yes," not "no." They would be horrified that their friend was murdered and would be pressing to find the real killer. Who knows - maybe they would have used all that money they have to offer a reward. Their first priority would not be to "cover" for Mr. Wone; it would be to seek justice for their friend and his widow. Further, had Mr. Wone brought a stranger to the house, whichever resident greeted Mr. Wone when he arrived would have met the killer. And surely, if they knew who the killer was, or at least had a description, they would have told the police rather than let a killer walk free to kill again. The notions that Mr. Wone was on the down-low (that no straight man would spend the night at the home of gay male friends), and that a man who is the victim of sexual assault "must be" gay (and gay men are always 'ready and willing') are homophobic in the extreme. Shame on you.

I wonder how the family will feel if it turns out that they were actually covering for Wone, who picked up someone the eventually killed him?
