    This is the direct result of that "groomer’’ bullshit. When 1/3rd of Americans think queer acceptance is a plot to get their children raped it’s going to result in spouts of violence.

      Stochastic terrorism in perfection

      This kind of stuff is precisely why they slew shit like this - to make events like this more common and make people scared that support or are lgbt

    A damn shame. I’ve spent lots of time around Lake Arrowhead, it’s in the San Bernardino mountains east of LA. An area that experienced a lot of white flight in the 70s when school integration happened. Redneck Central. This poor lady, a mother of nine now dead

        Pink washed anti-trans bootlickers. If any queer person thinks the christofash will leave them be once they’re done with trans folk, they’re delusional fools.

        Its a front for fascists. Like, openly so. Like they dont even stick to the letters they keep because they’ve said shitty things about bi people too. But even then, the idea that you should seperate trans people from a community they helped create is shitty on its face. Its a group trying to split us apart, that could never be good.

        Either everyone should have guns or no one. At least if everyone has one at home, these schizos might think twice. Just keeping a shotgun over the mantel place would be enough.

        How the fuck did we get to a place where you need either of these things to hang a goddamn flag outside your building with your freedom of speech opinion on it? This is insane.

        This is a rhetorical question, @queermunist nailed it on the head.

          I mean it’s the same on both sides. People don’t respect people’s right to not want queer shit shoved in their faces all the time and assholes attack LGBTQ people just for trying to pursue their own best life. Creates tension and ignorance on both sides.

            Queer people existing is not shoving anything in your face. They deserve to not have to hide in the closet.

            Something that’s not happening. But yet we have Christians all over this country shoving their religion down everyone else’s throats. That creates tension.

                Well one is happening more across the country. Like currently there’s one jackass in the senate who’s blocking nominations to head the armed forces because said jackass wants to force his religous views on everyone in the military. Or removing bodily autonomy because your religion says its wrong. Or allowing camps to “convert” lgbtq+ youths to being straight.

                Someone flying a flag or a parade seems very minor compared to that.

                You’re right and it’s about time we did something about all this “straight” shit being shoved down my throat.

                On TV I see men and women kissing.
                On music I hear men and women talking about sex
                On the street I see couples holding hands.

                I never asked to see all this! Won’t someone stop these people from shoving their lifestyle choices down my throat!

                What’s your definition of “shoving [ideology] down people’s throats” tho? Because if you think having a rainbow flag flying outside one’s business is that, then you are too far for me to discuss with. Have you SEEN Christmas? I couldn’t escape Christian ideology if I buried myself for a month before Dec. 25th. I see 1 pride flag every other day, unless I go to a big city but, and if people don’t like that, they can just move 20mi away.

                Edit: I was just thinking, Pride Month can’t even compete with Christmas in terms of length of real person “inundation time”, and we don’t have “temples for our gods” taking up space everywhere either, we have fucking flags and Skittles

            What do you think “queer shit shoved in their faces” looks like? Have you looked at modern marketing and how most of it assumes you’re a heterosexual looking for/keeping a partner?

        Oh shit sorry I forgot we need to have a moment of silence until the next white business owning woman in america is murdered. Thoughts and prayers to the victims family but no calls for action to end the slaughter of African Americans by the police or by USA’s illegal invasions because that would distract from the very really tragedy of one white person dying.

                So you know when the US bombs countries for “humanitarian reasons”? Like that. Like how citizens of the US think we should go to war to stomp out those backwards Muslims who will never be able to govern themselves because they all want theocracy so they need a bloody revolution and we should help? Like that. Or how about when a country has been colonized, underdeveloped, exploited, and devastated and then we give “aid” that results in more wealth being extracted and when they finally decide to stop that we call them terrorists and extremists and then stoke a civil war, arm and train the side most amenable to our interests and then bomb the country to bring about the change we seek? Like that.

                  So you’re rationalizing why it’s just to bomb civilians by complaining about how injust it us when civilians are bombed? You’re an incoherent mess.
