It’s probably to do with intention, we have some of the worst murder law in the world purely because there is no flexibility: it’s either murder or manslaughter if the jury didn’t feel they could be sure beyond reasonable doubt that he had every intention to kill that person then they will go for a defence…probably of provocation…which is a shit defence but oh well.
A Gay looking male (because he was probably looking happy and dressed in smart casual attire) + a crime committed in a densely frequented Gay area (Manchester’s Gay Village)= a Gay attack in my mind!
A knife intentionally carried out of their home + intentionally thrust into someones neck/throat + the selected victim dies = MURDER in my mind!

Manslaughter implies he indirectly caused the death – how is stabbing someone in the neck indirect?
queer murder ordinary murder.
To be a queer murder, the culprit has to write down the intention to kill, get it notorised and then confess to it afterwards as an intentional act
understand now?
