Narcisso P. Leggs, Jr. (1949 - June 31, 2002), a gay man, was tortured and murdered by Gregory Michael Pisarcik. Pisarcik, according to court documents, was looking for a gay man to rob when he met Leggs. Upon capture, Pisarcik confessed the murder to police and asked not to be put in a cell with another man because he hated "fags."
At the time of his murder, Leggs, 53, was retired from the Immigration and Naturalization Service, where he had worked for 22 years. He lived in a converted garage apartment in an unincorporated area between Tustin and Santa Ana. Neighbors often saw Leggs polishing his two prized automobiles -- a white Lincoln Town Car and a mauve Rolls-Royce.
Leggs and Pisarcik met at Laguna Beach and went back to Leggs' apartment, stopping to buy vodka along the way.
At Legg's apartment, Pisarcik grabbed an unopened bottle of champagne and started bashing Leggs' head. At some point he tied Leggs up. He asked where Leggs kept his money, rummaging the apartment between blows with the champagne bottle.
Pisarcik attempted to strangle Leggs. With a pair of scissors, he cut off both of Leggs' ears. Pisarcik then stomped on Leggs' testicles, urinated on him, and shoved a large flashlight deep into Leggs' rectum. Forensic evidence (including blood on the refrigerator) later showed that Pisarcik stopped to eat Leggs' food, and also took a shower before he left.
Finding less than $2, Pisarcik took Leggs' two guns -- a .45-caliber and a .357 magnum -- and drove off in Leggs' white Lincoln Town Car. Before leaving, Pisarcik sat on a bed, over Leggs' corpse, cleaning the guns he would take with him.
While police said they believed robbery was the motive in Leggs' murder, they also said that Pisarcik had been involved in the robbery of gay men.
In custody, Pisarcik told detectives that he hated homosexuals and admitted he'd gone to Legg's apartment to rob him. While he was being transported to the Orange County Jail, he told a deputy: "Don't put me in with the homos. I'm not a homo. That's why I killed him. I'm not a homo."
If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
Proud To Be Gay - by Rosalind Roberts
It is so hard to believe that your life was taken away
Just due to the fact that you were proud to be gay!
What does that matter, you did not hurt anyone
You are still someone’s Brother, still someone‘s Son!
It is a fact of life that others just do not listen,
They think you are wrong, so they set out on a mission.
To destroy a young life that was full of meaning and love
Now you rest with all of our Angel’s, in heaven above
Where you are all equal in eternal God’s love.
It is so sad that you cannot live and be free
This makes no sense at all, to people like me.
All this just for being proud to be gay?
Well I hope that they will rue the day
That they took your life without a thought,
Now they will have their day in that court!
I hope that they will get all they deserve
And gay pride will finally be heard.
There is no shame in just being you
I will end this verse by sending my love too ......
with love for all that have lost there lives just for being gay

The truest words of all: I will not forget you.
You are in my waking thoughts,
my sweetest memories, my dearest dreams.
I will not forget you.
You have touched my soul, opened my eyes,
changed my very experience of the universe.
I will not forget you.
I see you in the flowers, the sunset,
the sweep of the horizon
and all things that stretch to infinity.
I will not forget you.
I have carved you on the palm of my hand.
I carry you with me forever.
