"Gay Panic" is when a crime is committed against an individual and the perpetrator claims temporary insanity out of a so called homosexual panic frenzy. Often the defense team claims the perpetrator was subject to unwanted romantic and/or sexual advances by the victim.

To commit a crime against an individual
and claim 'GAY PANIC' isn't right. Than when
ever a hate crime is committed than people
will claim that.
HUGS!!!
Could you explain the "Twinkie Defense" in a future one? It's loosely tied to this.
Hey GDad I never heard of that one, I looked it up on Wikipedia. Gotta love Wiki.
