Multiple casualties after shooting.

Not only will many parents find out their sons are dead this morning. For a lot of them they'll also be finding out their sons are gay.

This. And that is deeply sad.

Also deeply sad is that club goers are wanting to donate blood for their friends. But can't.

He was 29, US born, from New York and by the pictures of his home, was well off (he was married); several cars in the drive and it was noted that he may had owned other properties.

I wonder if this could be the impetus to change that nonsensical policy.

I have heard that they have now temporarily suspended this with blood being screened 'the usual way'; which should be the case anyway.

Take it! It's a opportunity to sell attacks on LGBT as an attack on "Us" and our values.

The reactionary right don't specifically care about the LGBT part of this crime. We don't need to be collateral in their chest beating.

Ýes, and anybody who says otherwise is wrong.

The secularists want to rewrite history to make us (the West) into something that we are not. The Islamists don't feel that way - they see us as we've always been. They don't hate us because we're free, they hate us because they see us as decadent Christians. We are in a religious war, not against all Muslims, but against a faction of them who will not rest until they avenge their loss at the Battle of Tours, and perhaps not even then.

They hate us because we're gay. We're in a war against people with positive social scores on the PM, no matter what religion they follow.

No. They hate us because we tolerate homosexuality, despite our positive social PM scores.

Tolerate?

What's sad about this thing media wise is that yet again something actually affecting LGBT people now about everyone and everything else.
