OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- An alleged white supremacist has been charged with murdering a gay man in what officials say may have been part of a gang initiation.

Darrell Lynn Madden was charged on Wednesday with the October slaying of Steven Domer, 62. Madden also is charged with murder in the death of his friend, Bradley Qualls.

Authorities allege Madden, 37, and Qualls, 26, were connected to the white supremacist group United Aryan Brotherhood. According to an affidavit filed with the latest charge, Domer's death apparently was meant to be the violent act that earned a place in the gang for Qualls.

Domer, who friends said was gay, was last seen Oct. 26 near a car wash, according to court papers. A witness said Domer had been talking to two men who matched the description of Madden and Qualls.

Does anyone know if Domer was randomly targeted or if he was "chosen" because he was gay?

2. One of the worst things about oklahoma

are the white power groups, and the "Gays are less than human" attitude.
