I’m violently opposed to the idea of the shooter being a “secret gay” the very idea infuriates me
If he was indeed on grinder and went to the club it’s because he was scoping the place out, he was plotting, he had a fucking plan
Especially when there have already been several cases of men getting grindrs and then assaulting the men they find, because it’s easy to get someone alone in their home under the guise of a date, it seems pretty awful to assume this isn’t just another case of that.
Not to traumatize anyone further, so I apologize, but that’s the main tactic used by the biggest Russian anti lgbt “campaign” which spans across the entire country, they use gay dating sites and gay apps to literally hunt lgbt people down and then abduct and torture them. It’s absolutely horrifying and homophobes using gay apps to spread terror is a thing so if he was indeed using grindr the motives for that are more than obvious
^ THIS RIGHT HERE
This guy was not “Secretly gay” he was a homophobic sack of shit who was lurking around the gay community while planning to do this disgusting and evil thing and this is just further proof that this WAS a hate crime against the LGBTQIA community and that this bigoted piece of garbage did not pick Pulse at random…but of course people would rather he suggest he was “Secretly gay” because then they can keep right on being homophobic rather than stopping and thinking about the horrifying harm and damage that homophobia causes
“By creating the exit, Yousuf estimated that about 70 people were able to get out of the nightclub safely.” He saved 70 people. That’s 70 more people that could have died that night. This is so important.
In 1974, four years after publishing his first children’s book about the close friendship between Frog and Toad, the author and illustratorArnold Lobeltold his family he was gay. “I think ‘Frog and Toad’ really was the beginning of him coming out,” says his daughter, Adrianne.
My wife’s the reason anything gets done She nudges me towards promise by degrees She is a perfect symphony of one Our son is her most beautiful reprise. We chase the melodies that seem to find us Until they’re finished songs and start to play When senseless acts of tragedy remind us That nothing here is promised, not one day. This show is proof that history remembers We lived through times when hate and fear seemed stronger; We rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside. I sing Vanessa’s symphony, Eliza tells her story Now fill the world with music, love and pride.
