Sean Flanagan was executed by lethal injection in 1989, after killing two gay men. He claimed he was doing good for society by ending the men’s lives via dismemberment. Flanagan was an ex-Marine, but it’s not known whether he was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, or if he was subscribing to the homophobic mindset that was common in the military at that time. Before Sean Flanagan was killed by lethal injection, he told his executioner “I love you.” There is even a theory that Flanagan killed the men out of self-hate, as he was trying to come to terms with his own sexuality.
