I don't think it's really fair to say deadly violence against LGBT people is uniquely Islamic when someone tried to blow up a Target bathroom over their trans bathroom policies less than a week ago.

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.

Joementum posted:The ban on gay men donating blood has been lifted in Orlando. These tragedies so rarely have any positive outcome. Hopefully this leads to lifting the ban nationwide. George Takei shared this picture saying it's the current line to donate blood. He's not a news organization with vetting so take it with a grain of salt, but if it's real, it's good to see so many people making a positive contribution in the face of tragedy:

No, but gay people are probably going to be more likely to want to help since it's something that specifically impacted their community.

Oh, fun blood donation related fact. My godmother's daughter was taught in a high school science class that black people can't accept blood transfusions from white people and vice versa. This was at a public school in the 1990s.  So yeah, there are probably plenty of morons who think gay and straight people have different blood.

Do people seriously not get the supply line and intelligence differences between the US military waging a war against insurgents in the US itself vs the US military waging a war against native insurgents in a foreign country literally about half way across the world?

It made more sense back in the 1700s, especially in the early US where the states were scared of a centralized federal military. They wanted state militias out of the fear that the federal military might abandon their state in an attempt to defend the US as a whole.

They're highlighting the fact that Republicans won't look at any gun control period even if it's an expansion of a program they created as part of the War on Terror. It's not 9th dimensional chess or whatever the gently caress, it's really basic messaging. It's 2 dimensional tic-tac-toe.

Seriously, calling Republicans out for hypocrisy is not (n>3)th-dimensional chess. It's extremely simple PR. They don't have to worry about what would happen if the bill passes because they know it won't, and that's the entire point.

Stultus Maximus posted:ftfy No one expects any candidate to have no racist supporters. When Trump supporters are 1.5-2 times as likely as the average respondent to view black people as inferior to white people, that's not just white people being racist, that's racists actively flocking to a specific candidate.
