Gay panic defense

A legal strategy where the defendant claims to have acted in a state of violent, temporary insanity, committing assault or murder, because of unwanted same-sex sexual advances. A defendant may allege to have found the same-sex sexual advances so offensive or frightening that they were provoked into reacting, were acting in self-defense, were of diminished capacity, or were temporarily insane.
Some guy called Gabi dressed in leather overalls cornered me and made unwanted sexual advances in Folsom Street. I became so terrified and frightened for my safety that in a state of panic and self defence, I beat him to a bloody pulp and snapped his neck over a gutter. Next day I pled the gay panic defense and got off with a handshake from the judge.
