Jonathan Joss, who acted in “King of the Hill” and “Parks and Recreation,” was shot in San Antonio by a man who yelled “homophobic slurs” at him, his husband said.

On June 7, 1998, in a crime that shocked the nation and led to stronger state and federal hate crime laws, James Byrd Jr., a 49-year-old Black man, was hooked by a chain to a pickup truck and dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas. (Two white men were later sentenced to death and executed for the crime; a third was sentenced to life in prison.)
