Needs Help: Bury Your Gays

It has been proposed that the image for Bury Your Gays should be moved to Homophobic Hate Crime in the BYG cleanup thread.

Back in 2010, another thread agreed to keep the image despite some people finding it squicky. I can't find the original thread, but it seems like it would be OK to move the image, and either leave BYG imageless or find a suitable replacement.

Perhaps a montage, like one of these from the work that made the trope widely famous:

I'm good with moving the pic to Homophobic Hate Crime. Not really sure that the suggestions work well enough.

[up] I have no preference, just worried about it going imageless.

I'm okay with the move.

Not sure on the replacement suggestions.

How do you feel about pseudo-memes? Or, from Buffy even if it doesn't have masses of context?

I'm good with moving to Homophobic Hate Crime.

As for the suggestion, I haven't kept up with the show in a while but isn't Lexa a spoiler? That aside, I don't think it's all that clear/concise — her death isn't that obvious in the second panel (she just looks more stunned than anything), and four panels seems a bit much.

Great, if there's no objections then I'll move the image soon(ish), and barring any suggestions for Bury Your Gays, perhaps leave without image for now with a note saying to make a thread before adding one?

Image has been moved, tags added. Thanks, guys. If no better replacement images, close the thread
