Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado, a gay teenager from Puerto Rico, was murdered last week in a vicious hate crime. Prosecutors are weighing whether to recommend that Martinez Matos, who was arrested shortly after the murder, be charged under federal hate crimes law.

The U.S. gay community is asking authorities to investigate whether the slaying was a hate crime, said Pedro Julio Serrano of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "The brutality of the slaying and the fact that he was openly gay leads us to believe it was very possibly a hate crime," Serrano said Tuesday.

Steven's mother, Miriam Mercado, recently spoke out in regards to her son's death and the outpouring of support she has received. You can watch it here:

Small-business owner Rhea Mohler weighed in on the importance of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, noting that without the protections the legislation would provide, "Virginia workers can be fired simply because of who they are, with no regard to their experience and talent."

Training Rules, a fantastic new movie about homophobia in women's sports, tells the story of Jen Harris, an athlete who started getting recruited by college basketball programs in the fifth grade. She ends up playing ball at Penn State, where she was called one of the 20 best women's basketball players in the country and was a sure bet to ultimately play in the WNBA. Harris winds up getting kicked off the team because of her coach's homophobia, and chooses to fight. This movie showcases the decades of discrimination inside the Penn State women's basketball program and how Jen Harris does not take the news of being kicked off the team quietly.
