Hate groups get reported and removed from FB

Two stupid-ass homophobic groups on Facecrack/book have been deleted, about an hour ago no less. Many concerned queers, including myself, reported the group for inciting hatred and fear.

Thankfully, “how many
gay-rights activists could you kill in 15 minutes” and ”gay death
man”, are now in the annals of FB terror history. It’s true, as my news feed has been exclaiming, WE WON. But, the fact that this kind of thing even got put up is kind of sketch. And actually, as a journalist and blogger, I totally advocate free speech, even when sometimes things like this might not be my fav topics. So I have mixed feelings about the entire thing. Hands down though, hate groups can go die now.
