That is why laws protecting gay and transgender people are critical. 200 anti-gay laws have been introduced in US in the past year.  They have been introduced almost entirely by evangleical politicans.  No, Christians don’t hate homosexuals. They don’t believe that homosexuals deserve to die…like Muslims. Snoopy KEEP CHRIST IN Ugly CHRISTMAS Sweater. Christians believe that homosexuality is a sin along with telling lies, stealing etc. Christians want homosexuals to be saved, not killed. Big difference there. Susan Day Westboro Baptist Church…..that’s one.

I can’t even count the remarks I’ve read that talked about how Christian the writer was and all gays deserve to die. Let’s lump all Christians together like you do Muslims. That’s fair, right? Tons of Muslims don’t hate Americans either. But no one talks about that. Shhhh. Don’t spread the truth. It hurts the misinformed. There’s a difference between Christians and Extremist Christians. Just like there’s a difference between Muslims and Extremist Muslims. There’s a far, far fewer number of extremists. I wish people would understand that.

The news accentuates the extremists because they are the ones causing the panic and destruction. The rest are normal people just like you and me. They just want to live their lives and be loved and die of old age. The extremists will be dealt with if we stand together. But if we allow them to succeed and tear us apart, then there’s nothing we can do. This terrorist specifically targeted gay people.
Our political and social climate makes hating gay/trans people acceptable.

What did I just say? This isn’t about terrorism. It’s about extremism. Terrorism happens locally and abroad. Sweeping generalizations is the problem. You’re the problem. You’re why they hate America. How can I as an atheist gay man see this and can continue to preach love and unity while other religions continue to spew vitriol, hate, and misinformation? The line has always been there. And there will always be a vast majority of people harboring the seemingly peaceful alluring ideologies, but in the end find a way to focus more on the hate aspect.

You can’t win. Not if you’re gay. Sure. I’m aware there are gay friendly and modified version of many old school religion. But realistically most people don’t take those seriously. It’s human nature. People need something greater than themselves to look up to. But they also need a floor that they can’t fall thru. And that’s what we are. No matter how bad they are “at least I ain’t no fag.” The promise of the peace and love of all religions carry a price. Alicia Lee I don’t think the focus should be on the fact that the victims were/are gay.

The focus should be on this radical Islamic terrorist freak who killed and injured over 100 people. Did you ever stop to think that maybe some of the victims don’t want to be remembered just for being the target of a gay hate crime? Maybe they want to be remembered as brave Americans, sons and daughters, and good people. Snoopy KEEP CHRIST IN Ugly CHRISTMAS Sweater. Maybe they don’t want your LGBT label. Thank you. It isn’t about the who or why…it is about the utter disrespect for humanity. You put it perfectly. For SOME reason, this is hitting me hard, and I can’t explain it. Like 9-11. Tears are pouring down my face. Can’t stop. But strangely I find comfort in reading and responding to the FB comments. I will NEVER forget Ms. Justice and her pain.
