Theory

Gay Panic Theory
This theory states that defendant became temporarily insane and unable to control their behavior, or that the approach at least caused them to have a “diminished capacity” for controlling their behavior.

Example: A homosexual 15-year-old boy from California asked one of his classmates to be his valentine. A few days later the classmate stood up and fired two shots at the homosexual boy with a handgun in class and killed him instantly.
