I don't think there has been any reporting yet confirming that a fifth gay man was brutally murdered in the Bahamas (fifth in the last year), but it unfortunately seems to be the case. It's not known whether this was a hate crime (really, it's not known whether any of them were hate crimes, due to what appears to be the world's slowest police work) but the murder of 5 gay men in a community the size of Nassau really should be considered remarkable by someone in authority you'd think.
This makes the murder rate for gay men in Nassau something like 1 in 1000, whereas the overall murder rate for heterosexuals in Nassau is about 1 in 2500 (which is already an astoundingly high rate). Why are gay men more than twice as likely to be murdered in Nassau than the general population?
