An Open Letter To Straight People On The Pulse Massacre
The Huffington Post ^ | June 13, 2016 | Connor Doherty

Posted on 06/13/2016 6:06:06 PM PDT by sheworelemon

If you are a person who believes “tolerance” is enough, you are contributing to the problem. You don’t need to beat up an LGBTQ+ person to commit a hate crime or encourage another person to do so. If you misgender Caitlyn Jenner, say problematic and incorrect things about bathroom equality, cringe at the thought of gay affection, or use phrases like “no homo” or “that’s so gay” you are contributing to the culture that fostered this crime.

Sorry but I don’t agree. Of course, I could be way off base, but I believe they say what they say and how they say it because they have received their orders. One thing the libs always seem to do is to present a united front, regardless of the issue.

I tried to read article, but first had to look up Q+. Only made it to “bathroom equality”.

That is a lie. Only one culture is behind this crime and it has nothing to do with opposition to gay activist excesses. That culture is Islam. The author is committing a truly evil act in attempting to shift the blame to his personal political enemies. His demands are without merit, his twisting of the clear facts truly disgusting, and his case utterly foul.

It will not be conservatives putting the gun to his head. He can, by alienating the people who despite disapproval of his activities, would protect him, give a clear field to those who really would kill him. It is stupid, it is suicidal.

I'll just keep praying for the victims that we don't lose any more and that they are healed from their wounds and suffering. Also I will pray for comfort for families and friends.

If I were a really good Christian, I suppose I ought to pray for the shooter and his family, but I'm not.

Guilt trip. Guilt trip. Hatefest. Hatefestering. Won't work.

Many in the younger generations wholeheartedly believe this crap.

If the country isn’t already lost, it is just a matter of time before they finish it off.

Of course if the reports that the terrorist was a frequent visitor to the club, and used various gay dating apps, turn out to be true then perhaps the Huffington Post owes everybody an apology. Or do they really think that a gay terrorist somehow decides to attack other gay men because straight people aren’t supportive enough.

After reading the comments at Huffpost, I can say these people are in denial. Spin spin spin. It’s all the fault of these Christian racist sexist homophobes. Yet denying the elephant in the room, even if the elephant takes up much of the room.

Mr. Doherty.

How DARE you impute any motive like that to me - a straight, white, and gloriously male American.

I reject your immoral equivalence.

Go entertain yourself!

They better hope this nation doesn’t go sharia law like their liberal pol pals might acquiesce to it. For then they will be persecuted and murdered. We christian conservatives despise their lifestyle but we let them choose for their own and certainly wont mow them down with death and destruction.

I thought I was pissed because they killed Americans. Do I have to be more outraged because they were gay Americans?

And...this wasn’t America’s fault. There are a lot of opinions about the lifestyle out there. But we weren’t the guys chucking gays off the tops of buildings.

These idiots need to redirect their anger at the real cause.

Yep - 100% female, probably 100% 20-something, 90% white and 10% lightly-colored-but-banished-to-the-far-end-of-the-table.
