ACLU lawyers blame 'Christian right,' GOP for Orlando terrorist attack

Christian conservatives are responsible for the mass shooting at a gay bar in Orlando because they "created this anti-queer climate," according to American Civil Liberties Union attorneys.

"You know what is gross — your thoughts and prayers and Islamophobia after you created this anti-queer climate," ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted on Sunday morning.

About 50 people were killed last night by Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen born to Afghan parents suspected to have "leanings toward extreme Islamic ideologies." The FBI is investigating the attack as a "domestic terror incident."

But Strangio — who "spend[s his] life fighting Christian homophobia while being loved & supported by [his] Muslim family" — and his colleagues connected the shooting back to Christians and Republican politicians who oppose gay marriage. "The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this," Strangio tweeted. "No."

Does the ACLU care about all the people killed all around the world by Islam, while they provide backing for it?

And that secular humanism no doubt radicalizes many Muslims?

The teachings of the Koran are responsible and nothing else.

No, Chase, it was the assault rifle that’s responsible.
Gun’s and SUVs are killing America. This is what happens in a Godless society.

“Pride”? I don’t understand how one can be proud of being a genetic dead-end.
