A lawyer nationally known for being a champion of gay rights died after setting himself on fire in Prospect Park in Brooklyn early Saturday morning and leaving a note exhorting people to lead less selfish lives as a way to protect the planet, the police said.
The remains of the lawyer, David S. Buckel, 60, were found near Prospect Park West in a field near baseball diamonds and the main loop used by joggers and bikers.
Mr. Buckel left a note in a shopping cart not far from his body and also emailed it to several news media outlets, including The New York Times.
Mr. Buckel was the lead attorney in Brandon v. County of Richardson, in which a Nebraska county sheriff was found liable for failing to protect Brandon Teena, a transgender man who was murdered in Falls City, Neb. Hilary Swank won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Mr. Teena in the 1999 movie Boys Dont Cry.
While serving as marriage project director and senior counsel at Lambda Legal, a national organization that fights for the civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, Mr. Buckel was the strategist behind important same-sex marriage cases in New Jersey and Iowa.
Friends said that after he left the organization, Mr. Buckel became involved in environmental causes, which he alluded to in his note as the reason he decided to end his life by self-immolation with fossil fuels.

Hes hardly the first far left homosexual activist to be certifiably mentally ill and to take his or her own life.

More proof that these people are unhinged from reality...especially the transgenders.
A faggot aids the fire.
give a man a fire, warm him for a night.
set a man on fire, warm him for the rest of his life.
One of the things that can happen when reality refuses to comply with one’s delusions.
The sicko perv promotionist did it to himself.
Yep. Some people are so intolerant of others’ point of views that they’ll resort to killing. In this case I’m glad it was suicide instead of homicide.
When reality meets fantasy, reality always wins. Trying to live and especially championing a delusion is not a recipe for a happy life.
Apparently he had at least two strong delusions, that being gay is perfectly normal and that the world should be burning up but, unhappily for him, wasn’t.
And add to that the delusion that he could make those delusions become reality by burning himself up, and what happened was unavoidable.
Hunka hunka burnin’ love...
>>one brought his partner who introduced himself as “Hi I’m Gary and I’m a gay man.”
“High I’m a sexual swinger, want to drop bi some night and join in?”
The wife-swappers of the 60s and 70s were like that. Always on the make.
Feminazis and the Weather Underground both explicitly stated that they wanted to SMASH monogamy.
Of course they are in your face about their Revolution.
“Agreed, but it was self inflicted, so my sympathy meter simply isn’t moving.
I hope you have recovered...getting burned is a terrible thing to endure...”
I’m somewhat sympathetic in that society has chosen to encourage the kind of delusional behavior he exhibited rather than trying to help him face reality, but it was ultimately his decision.
I’ve recovered nicely. Nothing a short sleeve shirt can’t hide. They originally thought I might lose my left ear. The smell of hot antifreeze still nauseates me.
Wasn’t Friday the 13th when people burned at the stake too?
Since the SCOTUS ruled law enforcement has no constitutional requirement or mandate to protect any individual that means homosexual individuals have extra-constitutional rights.
“Monopoly” will somehow feel different from now on...
LOL!
He identified as a flame.
He can also fight for queer suicide rights.
