The ease with which American citizens can get military style guns is a problem. However we cannot escape the reality that's at the core: religious fundamentalism. Particularly Islam. We have to stop this PC expedition of absolving this religion when it clearly is a factor. In countries where Islam is LAW LGBTQI are killed. Granted there are strands of radicalism in the other religions but in no way are they equitable. The truth is, when it comes to violent hostility towards homosexuality one religion stands out. It refuses to reform, its adherents are arrogant and defensive when LGBTQI are under constant siege from the violence, intolerance, hatred, bigotry and fascism of Islam. We as lgbtiq cannot brook any longer constant violence by Muslims and then sit back and say "its just a small minority". No! Its time we called a spade a spade: all religious fundamentalism is NOT the same or equitable. Islamic radicalism stands hands and shoulders above the rest, and we cannot use the geopolitical argument as a defense. Islam preaches extremely toxic anti-gay rhetoric both in its holy book and in practice. We cannot as lgbtqi defend a religion that's influenced a deranged degenerate to slaughter 53 people. But the only thing that's important to people is to defend a religion that is thoroughly fascist and unshaken in its prejudice. Religion poisons everything it touches, without it the world would have far less evil. Religion is decisively the root cause of all hatred and intolerance. No lgbtqi has any duty or responsibility to respect anything in the teachings of Islam. Islamophobia is a word created by fascists, used by cowards to manipulate morons. And I for one look forward to challenging all Muslims in my life on what their religion teaches on homosexuality.
