I know gays have been killed before. Routinely is an exaggeration. You are being very foolish. Resorting to very childish and repulsive name calling. But there hasn't being anything even remotely on this scale of a massacre in the United States.
someone I follow on Twitter made the observation that if shooting up little kids didn't change anything, shooting up queer folk ain't going to. I try hard to stay out of gun debates, but I don't think it's illegitimate to ask if a maniac being able to put bullets in 100+ before anyone put a bullet in him might point to a problem.
On an individual basis by losers who don't like them! Just like whites are beaten up by groups of blacks, or blacks beaten up by groups of whites, etc.etc. Christ talk about apples & oranges! When during the period Dayton mentioned was there mass scale violence and murder, sanctioned & approved by a huge percentage of any religion or idealism?
I got to wonder given the number of police who got there if any of those shot were felled by friendly (police) fire?
They are out there though. The difference between the Orlando shooter and this guy is either that the latter lacks the will, or time. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/theodore-shoebat-calls-global-inquisition-put-gays-death
Just because there hasn't been a massacre of over 50 gay people doesn't mean that there has been a systemic homophobic problem fuelled by religious fundamentalism in America that results in violence and murder towards gays. Routinely is not an exaggeration, this has been going on. The name calling will stop when you stop acting like an imbecile. You're so fucking worthless you can't even treat gay people like human beings or cop to the fact that your bile and lack of decency towards them lends to them being treated poorly. Fortunately people like you are being phased out. You lose. Next.
Ok, I didn't know his middle name. I saw Mateen and thought it sounded vaguely hispanic and, believe it or not, Omar is a not uncommon name in the Spanish speaking world. It probably was introduced during the muslim occupation of Spain. Still, it turns out he was an Afghan, one of the people Gul can't wait to let loose on America because he feels guilty.
I'm not religious and do not give a shit about sexual preference, but I do realize that many religious people are against homosexuality. But man I am going to have to see some proof of an organized systemic movement to kill them. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
I remembered the Omar thing from my Spanish classes and I did make a leap to hispanic because we're talking about Florida. Anyway, from wiki: Omar, Omer, Ömer, or Umar (Arabic: عمر, Hebrew: עומר), is a male givenname of Arabic and Hebrew origin, mentioned in the Book of Genesis. It is a common name in Arab and Muslim territories and populations in general, as well as in Spanish-speaking countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_(name)
His dad is supposedly running for office in Afghanistan, jack ass. So, no, you seem to be full of fail.
Donald @Dinner thinks it's a fantasy that somebody born in New Jersey is American. Sorry dumbass, unfortunately, this guy is ours.
Okay Dinner, we got it. That said, would the average Hispanic not have a name like Gonzales, Hernandez, Fernandez, Rodriguez, Garcia, Martinez, Guzman, Cruz, etc.etc? Seeing a pattern here?
He was born in America as an American Muslim citizen. Sometimes those hunt down and kill gay people, just as their ancestors have done for many many centuries. It's part of their culture and a direct commandment from Muhammed.
Wrong. Dayton's point is to contrast Xtianity's culture with the culture of Islam. In other words, desperation did NOT cause the West to lash out or react in the way that Islam reacts to homosexuality. I assume his point is supposed to illustrate that Muslims are "a bit" more earnest about punishing what they consider to be sin. If you don't want to take Dayton's word for it, ask an Israeli neighboring citizen if they have a different opinion on Islam.
You should probably realize that some of us here have as much if not more experience dealing with Hispanic culture than you do.
Yeah, but then again, it's so much fun when those of us in that group get to correct him on his many mistakes.
Routinely was exactly right. You never used to hear about it cuz the mentality of "Fuck it, it's just a fag" was prevalent and it was all swept nice and neat like under the fucking rug.
It is so hard to admit you were full of shit? You win. You got a Muzzie in the fucking act, so instead of bleating about why you assumed he was Hispanic, just go back to shouldering your poster boy as the reason we need to deport every Muslim out the country.* *that was sarcasm, in case you can't tell.
Not sure about the 60's-70's but they were quite effectively killing themselves off in the 80's & 90's.
I would like to see this proof as well. Being opposed to gay marriage or stating that you dont like gay people doesnt mean that you condone or contribute to violence against them. That is a bunch of P.C bullshit.
Stupid fucker. June 24th, 1973, Upstairs Lounge a gay bar in New Orleans. An arsonist started a fire killing 32 people. How is this not a massacre? September 22, 2000 Ronald Gay () entered a gay bar in Roanoke Virginia and opened fire. He claimed he was told by God to kill lesbians and gay men. Fortunately not a massacre, but that was his intention.
So two incidents in 40+ years. Yes, it's a regular Jihad here in the US. You could probably find two incidents of anything happening in a country as big as the US. I wouldn't doubt if two people got hit by comets in 40 years - but it's hardly a fucking epidemic.
