“Uh, I don’t mean to sound ignorant, but just what is “the LGBTQ community?” Bacon, lettuce and tomato loving Quaalude gobblers?”

Some of it is: Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual,Transsexual (I am not sure of the Q, but someone else certainly knows.)

Another poster mentioned it. Q is for Questioning.

"Questioning" (i.e. investigating whether they are really homosexual, or "a woman trapped in a man's body" or what have you.)

I prefer the sarcastic term "questionable".

Cheers!

So whats considered sufficient cause for a gay to use their gun. I mean if a Christian says homosexuality is not good can Rosie go on a rampage?

Reverse that. There is a contingent in the gay community that says everyone is gay, some are just repressed and in the closet. Everyone includes you, of course. So since they just called you a closeted gay, does that give you the right to go on a rampage in a gay bar?

The answer is the same to both questions.

“There is a contingent in the gay community that says everyone is gay, some are just repressed and in the closet. “

That is a true statement from what I’ve read. Those people exist.

“So since they just called you a closeted gay, does that give you the right to go on a rampage in a gay bar?”

They seem to be claiming that right.

" But this ruling also brings a heightened concern about personal safety for those of us who rely on hate-crimes laws to protect us from the bigoted actions by our fellow citizens."

My favorite part of the article. This guy expects some law signed by legislators to protect him???? The only thing that law does is give the state the legal authority to prosecute and punish your fellow citizen after the crime has been committed. It prevents him from doing nothing. Now, you armed with a handgun thats another story.

Just for the record, if a straight white guy stabs another straight white guy to death 100 times why can't that be considered a hate crime? For someone to stab someone else 100 times I would think you have to have a lot of hate going on.

["Justice" without a prevailing protected class of citizen, ]

 

Yep.

 

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." 

 

Hmmm, nowhere do I see language indicating that individuals flying the rainbow swastika are more equal than others.
