Harass his family? Burn him in effigy? Deface the corpse? Storm the morgue, steal the corpse, use it as a prop at the first available pride parade? Just spitballing

Bury him upside down in a bedazzled, hot pink spray-painted dumpster filled with diarrhea.

There is not a human on this earth who would see such a thing and interpret it as strength. Do you think there is someone who, upon seeing Omar's corpse hung high, would change their mind about committing such an act? Or is it much more likely to fuel their own desire for violence? I consider Norway's response to Breivik (and the fact that he still lives) a true indication of their strength and courage. This is a result of the historic acceptance of homophobic culture in America. The only 'vengeance' to be had is for this tragedy to be remembered as a display of the importance of LGBT acceptance and unity.

If we are going to get political with this, then lets push the non-discrimination laws. Hard.

If the GOP cares SO MUCH about us now, then let them know that's what we want.

Right. Revenge will be found by using this event to further the cause, not by using this event to justify violence, fear, or xenophobia.

Buddy, look, there is absolutely no benefit to anyone from having the bans for people who've had sex with men who had sex with men in place, whether they be indefinite ones or time based.

It's already been proven in multiple countries, all using modern testing, that allowing gay people to donate blood freely does nothing to harm the blood supply. Why are you so insistent on pretending like nothing's changed in blood testing since the 80s?

This is really should be the end to that argument. OwlFancier is free to post his opinions, but happens to be entirely wrong about this matter. Factually there is no reason to prevent gays from donating blood.

I have no aversion to excessive caution where it can be afforded.

This is not 'excessive caution', at this point it is straight-up discriminatory. And worse, this is not somewhere it can be afforded. We have all the data necessary to determine if there is a statistical reason to prevent gays from donating blood, and as it turns out: there isn't.

Again you continue to ignore the facts while focusing on the idea that it's not a 'right'. There's statistically no reason to prevent gays from donating blood, and it's not caution that's affordable at any point in time as blood is in a constant state of needed supply. Give me a good reason to support your cause other than 'donating isn't a right'. Because a few years ago 'marriage isn't a right' was a legitimate argument, too.
