Of course there are monsters who torture and kill by abuse or neglect their own kids for no particular reason - just because they are sadistic and they can. Child abuse is a huge problem.
But this case serves to remind us that even though we've won all these legal and political victories, there is a still a deep, vicious hatred for "queers" among a certain portion of the population. It doesn't help that the religious right keeps whipping up the fires of homophobia with outrageous claims and hysterical fears.
