HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The news of Ben and Rene Ruiz's deaths come as a shock for the many people who described the couple as happy, loving and groundbreaking in the gay community.

Houston police say the men, who were in the midst of a divorce, died in a murder-suicide inside a million-dollar home near the Galleria.

Their bodies were discovered Thursday inside a bathroom at their home on Markham Street near Weslayan.

"It's not truly set in yet," said Ben's longtime friend, Edward Sanchez. "I think deep down inside I'm waiting to hear from him."

Sanchez said the couple helped pave the path for the Houston gay community. Ben was a cosmetics director at Laura Mercier.

"They were really kind of pillars of the community when they decided they were going to get married. This was before gay marriage was legal in the United States, this was before it was even legal to get a marriage license in Houston," Sanchez said.

Homosexuality brings to common ground two very different groups. Both Darwinian atheists and fundamentalist Christians view it as an aberration of natural law and divine law respectively. Neither group is shocked by the high overall mortality rate of homosexuals.

“the couple helped pave the path for the Houston gay community”

Well if they’re all still following them down this flowery petaled path of happiness, it doesn’t seem to end well. DOH!

And yet, despite the evidence, we continue to get this presented as “normal” on TV every day, all faggotry, all the time. Even down to Wheel of Fortune allowing contestants to identify their same-sex partner in the audience. As if viewers hadn’t already figured out the swishy fruit cocktail was queer.

Two mentally ill and unstable people killed each other. It’s expected.

So when I first read the headline I figured why would two guys going through that separately with their wives do that to themselves and then I read the article and was like a silly me, right, of course, it all makes sense now.

This raises any interesting question.

You've got two deeply disturbed people, who, just because they can function in the community, after a fashion, are lauded by the Left as "pillars of the gay community."

Why can't anyone admit that they were still batsh1t nuts?

The high rate of gay suicide is consistently blamed on outside societal causes, instead of the basic fact that homosex is aberrant, since it is physically and emotionally destructive.

Violence is always a part of the gay lifestyle. Anuses violated by penises, etc.

Some years ago an Irish doc friend of mine referred to them as dung-punchers. Makes me wonder sometimes when I read about these perverts, which is the punchee and which the punchor.

How many times does this type of thing have to happen before the “anecdotal” becomes the rule?

They were not strong enough to for other people but sadly are only selfish. Wanted sexual freedom, success and accepted by society, But they were not happy with themselves.

“Beloved Houston couple”
Okaaay.
Looks like quite a difference in age, too. Surprising they lasted together that long.
