Remembering Joss: LGBTQ+ Community Mourns Loss of Talented Performer

as friends and colleagues mourned the loss of a talented performer. Joss, who was best known for his role as John Redcorn on the popular animated sitcom, was found dead in his Houston home on Wednesday night. Police are treating the case as a homicide and are considering all possible motives, including the possibility that Joss' sexual orientation may have been a factor in the attack. The 51-year-old actor's friends and colleagues have expressed shock and sadness over his untimely death. Joss was known not only for his voice acting talents, but also for his activism within the Native American community. He was a member of the Comanche Nation and used his platform to advocate for indigenous rights and representation in the entertainment industry. Joss' death has sparked discussions about the prevalence of violence against the LGBTQ+ community, particularly in the state of Texas. According to the Human Rights Campaign, Texas has the second-highest number of reported hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community, with 212 incidents reported in 2019. The investigation into Joss' death is ongoing, and police have not yet released any further details. However, the possibility of a hate crime is a cause for concern for many, as the LGBTQ+ community continues to face discrimination and violence. Joss' death serves as a stark reminder that despite progress made in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, there is still a long way to go. As the entertainment industry and society as a whole continue to work towards inclusivity and acceptance, it is important to remember and honor the lives of those who have been lost to senseless acts of violence. Our thoughts go out to Joss' loved ones and the LGBTQ+ community during this difficult time. We must continue to stand in solidarity and demand justice for all victims of hate crimes."
