Tristan Kern de Gonzales Statement on facebook,
“My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.”
” Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. ”
” When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. ”
” While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. ”
” Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. ”
” Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. ”
” He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.
I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. ”
” To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. ”
” My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. ”
” If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. ”
” Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. ”
Martha Arredondo said, ” Mr. Tristan de Gonzales, I’m truly sorry for you and your family’s loss. My husband sent me a message telling me about this hot mess this morning (It was just me and my Daddy today.) When I got home, my youngest told me. He got out and told me a about pointless hate crime. We let word to our Baby family (We’re close fans of King of the Hill.) He was a kind soul and really did treat you like you were family. Again, my sincerest condolences. ”

I am also gay and my heart goes out to you. I will pray that Spirit gives you the strength, determination and conviction to as you say protect his image and get justice for taking away the one you love. I have been with my spouse for 53 years in July and I can truly understand how you feel.
Blessings always
