Nothing could have prevented this, says only nation where this regularly happens.

Spend enough time and effort painting gay people as groomers and pedophiles and this is bound to happen.

Which is the entire point, obviously. Well, no, the ENTIRE point would basically be Order 66 but on the noncisallohet community. THIS is just what they can do NOW.

Freaking hell... Why can't they just let us LIVE OUR DAMN LIVES...? As if I don't already know why...

If I were one of the people spreading those lies I'd be nervous. Who he watched is going to come out in court, and in a post-Jones world there are actual consequences...

I hope and pray so. I really do. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Agreed I have known several gay people in my lifetime. All of them were nice and while they kept to themselves they never caused trouble they went about their lives just like everyone else.

Given that it happened on Trans Day of Remembrance, I think the trans community in particular were targeted.

Honestly I think that may have been coincidence. I don't think many know there is such a day.

I could be wrong. Maybe this shooter is smarter than I am giving him.
I got nothing to say here.
