It doesn't sound to me like they didn't cover it just b/c he was gay, in fact, it sounds like ppl are trying to make more of an issue out of the fact that 1 admittedly gay student was shot out of 21 victims, isn't the tragedy here more that these kids were shot, or if you have to be a step removed from that sentiment, that the other 20 children weren't covered in the article, the whole article revolves around just the one gay kid, and the fact that they are going to try and prosecute the shooter as if it's a gay hate crime rather than just a criminal act in which 21 children were injured, it seems to me that most of the news outlets see if as the latter and didn't feel the need to immediately give it coverage in a world where there have been enough school shootings that it wouldn't garner them ratings, now if the shooter had come to school and only shot gay kids, then it could be considered a hate crime and would have been more than likely picked up by the major news agencies immidiately, and if it hadn't at that point then your comment about them not reporting it b/c it involved a gay american would seem more relevant
