This story needs links to more detailed reporting, or the poster needs to do the reporting. This is one thing I dislike about getting news from blogs and worries me most about losing more traditional forms of journalism. The BASIC standards of journalism are tossed out too often in quick blog posts like this. Very frustrating!

From the Huffington Post – no gay connection mentioned
In fact I cannot find a single reference tot his party that mentions any Gay connection or even talks about Facebook. Mark what was your source?

Sorry the link was on the original posting but must have dropped when I put the picture link on.
It was from Twitter Gay News Feed and the article is in the Advocate

They got it from the LA Times although the LAT says “Organizers of the party were a gay group, Milenio said, but the invitation specifically said the event was open to all. Although that raised the possibility of an anti-gay hate crime, most speculation centered on drug traffickers as the assailants.”
