Few Republicans mention LGBT community in Orlando reactions

[RetiredUSN]

so you dont beleive the republican party has a problem with homophobia at all? I'm assuming the same goes for racism too right?

Again.... your attacks on me were in regards to my posts on the hypocrisy OP, so please stay on subject.......OK?

You do not get to change the subject just because you are spinning your wheels.

Claiming the people killed in the Pulse nightclub are Americans? Yes, there is, IMO, one political cause or advantage that should be exploited in the Orlando case. There are other groups who wish to do the US harm. There are other groups who wish to do the LGBT community harm. There are groups of Americans who wish to do other Americans harm. The fact that Americans were killed at the nightclub so easily is quite disconcerting.

why is their nationality important? are you sure they were all americans, they mightve been cuban? but I think its pretty obvious he targeted them for being gay

If he wanted to target only "americans" he might have chosen a better target than a gay club on latin night in florida

Where they were attacked is important. America has so many enemies at home and abroad.

thats because they keep bombing people

You admit America has so many enemies at home and abroad.

yeah?

I threw a analogy at you, and then I explained it so that even you could understand it. So, you are either playing stubborn, or just another mindless combative. Using Sharpton was a great example of the nut cases on both sides regardless of what subject we are going over at the time.

are you sure its not apart of the liberal conspiracy to rule the world?

No liberals aren't smart enough to form a conspiracy let alone govern the world

So many different groups are using the negative (and positive) publicity of the Orlando massacre for their own political advantages. Each seems to think their cause is the righteous cause, IMO. There is no one righteous cause other than Americans are being attacked on American soil for being American and exhibiting the American culture.

if 'america' were being attacked, everyone would be equally vulnerable and equally afraid, and that's simply not the case. Even if it were a random attack, it's obvious the republicans have gone out of their way to not mention the identity of the victims...and that in fact is why it's absurd to think such an attack on a small minority that's still unmentionable by half of the political power COULD be random

yeah let's totally ignore motive in the case at hand

like i said, if after the charleston massacre republicans and other bigots of various stripes fell over themselves insisting it was an attack on 'america' and refused to acknowledge it as a racist attack, they would never hear the end of it

Is there such a thing as a LGBT 'community' in Orlando or anywhere else? I think it's just a word that the PC throw around trying to look good.

you may as well ask the killer that since he sure figured 300 people gathered in a *gay club* was an opportunity to attack a community. Or do you think so many would gather if there was no community?

i mean do you deny there's a hispanic community or a chinatown? You'd have to be blind to not notice how segregated america is. LGBT gather in certain locations for the same purpose

You think republicans are slighting the LGBT community? Republicans see the identity of those massacred in Orlando as Americans.

Here. Read my post again. I think you fall into the 'my cause is the most righteous cause' concerning the Orlando massacre.

yeah just like they saw the charleston victims as 'americans' rather than 'black people killed by a white supremacist' like everyone else saw it, whatever you say

they almost elected ted cruz whose father repeatedly called for the death penalty for homosexuals, most of these people are happy this happened, they're glad they were killed. On top of that they get to shout about the "evil muslims".... its a win-win as far as right wing christians are concerned

Why Is the Media Ignoring Ted Cruz's Embrace of 'Kill the Gays' Pastor?

yeah and iirc X was a big ted cruz supporter, or at least it was when i first pointed out that he can't support gay rights AND ted cruz, that these are not compatible causes, that he flipped out at me

the irony is the article in the OP names cruz as one of the very few who mentioned lgbt after the massacre (although only to attack democrats), but seeing as X is frothing with rage at me, i'm sure he never read it

Using the term 'Hispanic community' falsely suggests that every person of Hispanic origin has identical opinions, hopes and aspirations. This is manifestly not the case.

The Orlando killer may have thought he was attacking a 'community'. He was as wrong in this as in every other idea in his twisted mind.

 

[Sweden]

So your telling me you hate gays and communists? why? How do you feel about the jews?

I suppose you mean 'you are' or 'you're'.

Nope. I do not hate gays or Communists. I do loathe Communism however. I think Jews have contributed massively to the arts and sciences. I admire pretty well everything about Jewish culture; even their religion is not as bad as all the others. I strongly support Israel's right to exist and defend itself.

I hope this answers your semi-literate question.

noun
noun: community; plural noun: communities
1.
a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.

Now tell me how that does not describe most of the people at Pulse or the larger lgbt identity

The 300 who were in that club is just short of the population of the town i'm from. You don't need to have identical opinions, hopes or anything to be a community, good god. Certain areas become 99% hispanic, lgbt, or whatever because it's where those minorities believe they can find some *respect* and people they have something - *not everything, no one said this* - in common with

the difference between christians and muslims is as superficial as the diferences between sunnis and shias, dont beleive for a second, that one is more socialist than the other, they all believe in the same things, theyre all abrahamic death cults. These same christians who are berating muslims now, would be defending the shooter if he were one of them, defending every decision he made, and making every excuse imaginable for the shooter, from drugs to mental illness to affluenza. They only want use this attack to further their goals of genocide and forced religion conversion, and christian dominion theory. To spread the myth that they are constantly under attack (despite having the largest military, 10x the size of anyone elses) and therefore justifying their ever increasing wars and global violence.... in the lords name

The fact that they believe homosexuals are human at all, is a sign of social progress, but still in alabama they wouldn't even lower the flag for the victims
