It seems that the Trump administration doesn’t care if we live where we die. Suicide is four times higher in the LGBTQ community. #Homophobia #HomophobiaKills #Suicide #Hotline #Trump #Administration #Kennedy #LGBTQ

Tristan Kern de Gonzalez, the husband of #JonathanJoss, the voice actor known for playing John Redcorn on ‘King of the Hill’, posted to his deceased husband’s Facebook page detailing the events that lead to his untimely death. He claims that the neighbor shot Joss because he was homophobic, and that he screamed several slurs against them during an argument before shooting. According to Tristan, they had arrived to the house to pick up their mail after it was declared uninhabitable due to a fire. He says when they arrived they saw that the skull of one of their dogs who died in the fire was placed within their view, and they began yelling and crying. He says the neighbor then approached them arguing with them, and then raised his gun firing. He has been booked and charged with first degree murder. TMZ confirmed that Tristan’s account of the incidentnt matches what neighbors have also stated to police.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. - Tristan Kern de Gonzales
