Not surprising. Only way to fix that is to enforce tolerance in schools (and no walkover from it due to the religious objections of the family) and in public life, no matter how much whining social conservatives do.

Homophobia must be removed from the public live, and bigots, social conservatives and some immigrants too if they try too bstruct.

So a ISIS-inspired terrorist on one coast, and a completely different, presumably Christian anti-gay guy on the other coast.

I haven't heard much about this besides the breaking reports, but I suspect both were probably in some form of contact with ISIS leaders/propagandists and that both were totally unaware of the other. As I said in the other thread, this might be just one of many ready to come out and strike.

"Some" immigrants? There is a serious amount of homophobia in non-white, non-Christian communities that goes unnoticed and un-condemned because people are already afraid to speak out without being labelled by the usual suspects. We can talk about how awful the Duggars are for hours-and they are indeed bigots and they are indeed awful-but Mateeb would have just as soon killed them too.

Christian communities are one of the main sources of homophobia and certainly the most vocal. Seems this killer was Christian too. Sorry you can't blame everything on evil Muhammedians.

This guy was bisexual.

Sounds like it wasn't Islamism or anti-LGBT sentiment, but just your generic Mentally Unstable White Male doing what Mentally Unstable White Men do best.

Of course, Republicans haven't said a word about this incident because it's okay as long as it's not a brown Muslim person.

When will Barack Obama denounce Radical Christian Terrorism? Why won't he say those words? We need to stop importing Welsh and other Celts into our country! #AngloSaxonGenocide

I must have missed those radical Christian Celts who killed thousands of Americans in terrorist attacks in a period of just 15 years.

That is actually a relief, because had he been another Islamist radical, it'd be clear that we are under attack.

If that would be your response, it's another reason to be immensely grateful he was stopped.

well this one can fade back into the wood work...sorry lefties, no points scored here.  You'll have to go back to talking about OKC again when you need a white terrorist to bring up.  Sorry.  Maybe next year?

So the alleged "homophobe right-wing nut" turned out to be bisexual and a Bernie supporter too:


 
The left-wingers were real desperate to distract attention from Omar Mateen to this guy. Guess they'll have to find some other distraction now.
