Getting enraged by things that don't concern you is a fundamental human problem that I hope to see go away someday.

I have a feeling he was enraged that he himself wasn't kissing a man, but that's just my hunch.

I'm really loving tired of the Pray for XXX Victims thing starting up already. Your loving religions are what oppresses us all over the world. At best you want LGBT people changed, at worst you want us dead.

Also, what a revealingly impotent response.

There's evangelicals kids I grew up with where this was the case until they found themselves in DC during a pride march. Religious-enough parents absolutely still can put that bubble up with all the things like homeschooling that are available to them

Still got Sunday before I'm back on my 9 hour day with 45 min each way commute. Is there one other topic that a research dump could potentially lighten your spirits on?

Obviously really late reply, but I was never really big on the email thing. One of my other, usually relatively well-informed friends thought it had traction though so I didn't think much of it because I really wanted Bernie to pull through.

As soon as the Obama endorsement dropped I knew it was over and already started mentally preparing myself for Madame President Hillary Clinton against Trump.

gently caress this mass shooting garbage, last night I was excited because an openly gay, married candidate in Florida revealed he has HIV and wants to help people with the disease, now I wake up and 20 gay people were murdered for no loving reason. gently caress the world. :suicide:

Edit: holy gently caress the number went up really fast since I last checked the news. loving Christ.

I didn't realize new info came out about that case. Still, violence against LGBT people by Christians isn't exactly rare in the US and the Target I work at has been told be on alert over threats of gun violence linked to the bathroom policy a few weeks ago so it's not like that was the only example linked to Target even.

There are Christians who support gay rights. :( My church's pastor is a married lesbian woman, and we're down here in a different part of Florida. Sermon this morning was all about the shooting and we're already putting together a donation fund for the families of the victims.

Babies.


I would have to guess/assume that, because it was posted exactly at 8 AM and the next tweet was "Have a blessed day!" and seems unaware, that it was just a scheduled tweet from his office, and no one has yet realized that it is super super poorly timed. Someone of that level of politics may be a piece of poo poo, but they're not going to say "HA HA GOOD!" after something like this.

I understand completely. poo poo like this - if the shooter wasn't Christian, then the Evangelical Right's reaction to this - is why I hate the Evangelical Right.

I went back through his Twitter history to check. He does occasionally tweet one of those with the caption "Have a Blessed Sunday," but it's not every Sunday and he put out one of those later this morning too. If it was a coincidence, it was a first-time coincidence (and he hasn't made any move toward correcting the error if there was one).

Probably. Orlando is well-known for being the most gay-friendly city in Florida, and it's Pride Week there. Hell, I've driven past Pulse a few times.

You should never go to reddit.
