This is such a sad event. With all the related issues: the worst part of all this is that people still hate gay men bad enough to kill them.
Even with the strides in Gay Rights that have been made in recent years we still see Gay Panic in the general populace. To me the biggest problem is not guns or gun laws. The biggest problem is the hate filled speech of elements of the religious right. The religious right truly demonizes gay people. Reducing all gays to ciphers of all that is wrong with western civilization. I see and hear this type of speech most everyday.
It's always conservatives and I always call them on their violent tendancys. I ask them why christians always want to kill people. They then look at me and ask me why I hate christians.
