OOOH! That was a good one.
Do you really have nothing to add? Is THIS how you have a conversation? Pathetic, childish “Oooh, you’re gay!” allegations, too cowardly to come out and actually say it?

You’re pathetic.

Hey Mike!

have you seen the stories in the NY Post and UK papers that say that the shooter was gay, visited gay clubs for years, hit on gay men, and his ex-wife said he was gay?

I’m sorry, did I miss when gay people were sold as slaves? When were they hung from trees and photographed hanging there, etc.

Stop trying to play the victim, because you aren’t one!

To equate lgbt discrimination with racial discrimination of a people forcibly brought to the western world in captivity is about as racist as it gets.
You don’t even realize apparently.

Rich,
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that history wasn’t your major in college.

But they have and continue to endure abuses, in some places that are systematic, there are places in the world where they are burnt alive, hung, tortured. They have been subjected to involuntary lobotomies, chemical castration, imprisonment in pyshiatric institutions and not to forget the current ‘conversion therapy’ treatment centres that are widely regarded by the scientific community as a form of psychology abuse. The persecution in the west even predates the establishment of the western slave trade.

Is the LGBT community currently enduring slavery? How about gay only public water fountains? gay seating section at the back of the bus?? Do you see “no gays allowed” signs at restaurants, stores or movie theaters? gay only segregated neignourhoods? Gay only segregated schools? gay only segregated hospitals? Gay only segregated platoons in the army? Access to menial jobs only?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

DO NOT compare your plight to that of the civil rights movement.

I support SSM but don’t dare act like gay people have had to endure the oppression that BLACK PEOPLE, THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE, have endured and continue to endure for the past 500 years.

I’m a heterosexual married women. Myself and my husband stand in solidarity with the LGBT community around the world at this sad and devastating time. We will also stand in solidarity with the LGBT community of Bermuda on the 23rd of June. When hopefully you will all get what should be rightfully yours anyway!

What a load of shite. Not one single mention was made of any of these prayers. And given how bad it was that this homophobic display went ahead on the day of the tragedy I am absolutely sure that the various Reverends interviewed would have featured this prominently.

Nice try at damage control but it is NOT believable!

If we waited until every person in the world was ready to be tolerant to equality of right under the law, then nobody would have any human rights at this time. Evolution has to happen, and those that can’t keep up will fall behind, and sadly too often rest like this to their failure to keep up.

How anyone who lived through segregation and the civil rights movement is able to sit there and preach acceptance while simultaneously denying the very same rights that blacks in the past have been denied (and fought for) is beyond me.

The hypocrisy of some people is so extensive that they don’t even realize, and it’s sad, honestly.

It would be nice to believe that, but since you were out there to to pray that these same people’s remain as second class citizens, in your view lower than you and undeserving of the same rights and protection under the law that you take for granted. Your ‘prayers’ become disingenuous, hollow and hypocritical to those who suffered from this senseless violence… not just in Orlando, but around the world, at the hands of those that use your same belief/prayers and misinformation that you yourself have promoted on these comment pages to justify and inflict these crimes. Your intolerance is what fuels this violence and crimes, it is intolerance that has eroded our social and familial fabric of our communities.

To think that any one would be willing sacrifice 50+ lives as part of ‘another ploy’ is just so utterly barbaric to even contemplate. Yet, that’s where you went.

By: Mike Hind

Mike Hind — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 17:56:32 +0000

And yet, you will continue to post lies and misinformation in a cowardly attempt to promote your hateful campaign of discrimination, treating the LGBT community as less than human and unworthy of sharing in rights.

Hypocrite.

By: Mike Hind

Mike Hind — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 17:54:51 +0000

Yes. Because no one is trying to do that. At all.
Dismissing this attack against the LGBT community as a ploy to take away guns is ridiculous and wrong

Sensible gun laws aren’t “taking away American’s right to possess a firearm”.
No one is proposing that.

Coming from you and the things you have said about LGBT, I find this very insincere.

By: Dorothy

Is it too far-fetched or cynical to believe that this must be another ploy to take away the American’s right to possess a firearm?

Lots of prayers were prayed for the victims and their families at Sunday’s prayer vigil. God’s be with the victims and their families.
