LINK Sydney man admits pushing gay American off a cliff in 1988 : NPR

CANBERRA, Australia — A man told police he killed American mathematician Scott Johnson in 1988 by pushing the 27-year-old off a Sydney cliff in what prosecutors describe as a gay hate crime, a court heard on Monday.

Scott White, 51, appeared in the New South Wales state Supreme Court for a sentencing hearing after he pleaded guilty in January to the murder of the Los Angeles-born Canberra resident, whose death at the base of a North Head cliff was initially dismissed by police as suicide.

He needs to be banged up (pun intended) in solitary confinement for the rest of his life.

Justice for that man is finally here, but very late in coming.

The abuse committed by self-loathing gay men is so common that we should tell any man who spouts hate that he's proving his own homosexuality. While I sympathize with the tormented, those who use it to commit abuse are reprehensible.
