...for bail unless specific conditions outlined in Section 11a of the #Texas Constitution apply.

Since this individual has been charged with murder, they were eligible for bail, which has been posted.

Our phone calls, emails, and other communications voicing our concern over the premature decision to label Jonathan Joss' murder not a hate crime worked. 💪🏽

The investigation into Jonathan Joss' murder remains ongoing.

I'm relieved to learn SAPD #ChiefWilliamMcManus has withdrawn his initial statement claiming that Jonathan Joss' murder was not a hate crime.

The individual who murdered #JonathanJoss claims he's innocent.

I can't tell if the perpetrator is also claiming he didn't admit to shooting Jonathan Joss to the arresting officers.

Progress! Homophobia is declining in Western Europe and the US — a hopeful sign for LGBTQ+ rights. 🎉 #LGBTQPlusRights #Progress #SocialChange #GoodNews
Homophobic attitudes have fallen in Western Europe and the United States
Quoting the text from the source at Our World in Data: >Forty years ago, public views about homosexuality were extremely negative in many rich countries. As the chart shows, back in 1984, one in three Dutch people believed homosexuality was “never or rarely justified”. In Spain and Great Britain, that view was held by the majority. Perhaps most strikingly, three-quarters of Americans thought the same. >Since then, levels of discrimination have plummeted. Today, the share of people in these countries who think that homosexuality is “never or rarely justified” makes up a shrinking minority. That’s good news — everyone should be free to decide for themselves who they are attracted to. >It might sound odd today to ask whether someone else’s sexuality is *justified*. But that’s how the long-running World Values Survey phrased it when they began decades ago. Keeping the phrasing consistent helps show how attitudes have changed, but the fact that it may sound outdated now is, in itself, a reflection of how much has changed. >[Explore responses to this question in more than a hundred countries](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-people-who-think-homosexuality-is-never-justified) →

SAEN: “During the Q&A, Joslin Leard said her brother Zachary Leard — a gay man — was gunned down in 2023.”

She was emotional as she told McManus SAPD has not done enough to solve his case."
