Father of Reported Suspect in Orlando Mass Shooting Says, 'This Has Nothing to Do with Religion' – Points to Son's Recent Anger at Gay Men
"He instead said his son had recently become very upset by the sight of two men kissing in downtown Miami, and pointed to his anger as a possible cause."
That doesn't make the shooter any less of a cocksucker.
As would be expected, I have to say a few things about this.
First of all, I feel so sorry for the victims, their families, loved ones and friends. Despite our sexual orientation, we still have all the emotions any human is capable of feeling. While at the Pittsburgh (LGBT) Pride event yesterday, it was so emotional seeing men kissing men, women kissing women and everyone getting along great with absolutely no intolerance at all. This was the first Pride event I have attended and everything/everyone were so fabulous! It was almost like looking into the future where there are no prejudices, intolerance and hatred towards your fellow humans. Just people being who they are with no fear of doing so. I might add there were no fights, violence or even bad mouthing at the event, with over 6,000 in attendance.
Then this horrible event happens. The USA is known for being a LGBT friendly country and one of extremely few to have LGBT rights. The right to be able to go out and enjoy yourself should be a safe day/night for everyone, regardless of race, color, sex, etc. I do realize some cultures punish homosexuality by death, but it is not anyone's choice to be the executioner. The events that occurred in Orlando were absolutely terrible and while the exact reasons are currently still under federal investigation, it is most likely hate. After a night of pure pride and pleasure of being who you are, the sober reality of living in a world of hate strikes again.
I can only hope for a day when all life can love and live freely with no fear.
