King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has died aged 59 after a shooting in Texas, police have confirmed.

Joss was the voice of John Redcorn for seasons two through 13 of the popular animated series. He had reportedly recorded bits for the show’s reboot, which recently began production for Hulu and is slated to premiere in August.

The actor was reportedly shot multiple times over the weekend after a disagreement with a neighbor, according to TMZ. San Antonio police responded to a home after reports of shots fired and found Joss near the road with gunshot wounds, according to Variety.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

      eh, sorta. the books the Nazis burned in that famous photograph were the library of Magnus Hirschfeld, a Jewish sexologist who studied and supported trans people, and who even hired some as his assistants. did the Nazis burn his books because he supported trans people, or because he was a Jew? both, I think. the Nazis practiced intersectional hatred. they accused Hirschfeld of promoting degeneracy to undermine Aryan society, an anti-Semitic trope that continues today.

      gay and trans people were sent to concentration camps, but not usually to the death camps.

      likewise, the predecessor to the NSDAP specifically singled out Jews in its founding document, but (afaik) not homosexuals.

      this is my recollection anyway, as a trans woman who’s a potential convert.

        There’s also Ernst Rohm and (full disclosure I can’t remember names or where I read this but I’m positive I did) several other members of the Nazi party having “proclivities” that were turned a blind eye as long as they continued to be good little Nazis (and, eventually, Rohm wasn’t useful any longer – but his murder had little to do with him being gay). Indeed, much like Hitler and Rohm, I’m sure Trump himself doesnt hold much ill will towards gay people overall on account of Roy Cohn (granted he holds ill will towards everyone poor but that’s a different conversation). It’s all the other people in his orbit that scare the fuck out of me as a gay guy.

          Trump certainly has no problem with people who cross-dress. If you haven’t already, search teh intarwebs for “Trump Giuliani drag”. It’s a real thing.
