      How dare they make a horrible massacre of LGBT people about LGBT people. They think they’re so special.

          It was very disappointing you left them out though Nigel – how could you? Don’t you know this celebration of mass murder is their day too? You know that it was very homophobic of you.

      I wish you health and happiness, and that all you children be gay.

      Every single one of them.

      Same reason I mitched the Hillsborough memorial last month. Place was wedged with scousers.

      Eamonn you’re a reasonable guy normally. Can you seriously blame them ? Does it really rain enough on your parade to add salt into the wound of people grieving by snide comments that make people feel excluded ? Doesn’t help the bigger picture does it ?

    the LGBTQIA community has nothing to fear from Islam, only bigoted racists will say otherwise, muslims are as much of a victim here as well

      Gay people have reason to fear a religion that preaches again their existance. Islam or Christian extremists believe this baloney.

          …Leviticus 20-13: “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

      A bit naieve and well meaning rubbish to be honest. Do you know of many islamic states with acceptance of homosexuality in law and practice?

      1. Friscondo

        I was in Marrakech last October. In the hotel bar were two gay men in their forties and two gay women in their thirties. Both couples were Morroccan. No one seemed to take any notice. This was in an Arab, Muslim city of a million people. People shouldn’t make too many generalisations.

        1. Tony

          Morocco is a constitutional monarchy and has a democratically elected parliament. Not an Islamic State. You saw two couples in a bar, where few practising muslims attend. People shouldn’t make too many generalisations.

          1. MoyestWithExcitement

            What’s an Islamic State? One that practices a sharia? Then there are only 2 Islamic states. Makes the question from Trollny redundant.

    Terrible tragedy. A lunatic has killed a lot of people. Their motivation is irrelevant. They were insane.

    1. Starina

      their motivation is very relevant because it speaks to the underlying fear that all LGBTQ people have.

    Less talk about a particular community hijacking the grief

    It was an act of terrorism against ALL of us

    1. pedeyw

      It’s understandable. I don’t think it’s hijacking when a particular community was targeted.

    2. Tony

      ‘It was an act of terrorism against ALL of us’

      Yeah like the 1993 Greysteel massacre. No particular group targeted. No one allowed to ‘own’ the victimhood?

      Would you go on out of that

      1. Frilly Keane

        No
        You g’wan ou’dat
        If women getting stoned to death for ‘disobedience’ gay bi etc women and men, and whoever is next to be targeted is not terrorism against ALL of us

        I don’t know what the ûck is

    3. Daisy Chainsaw

      If it had happened in a synagogue, mosque or a chapel would you consider it an act of terrorism “against all of us” or a deliberate attack against the group of people gathered in the building targetted?

      This wasn’t just a random club. It was a gay club during Pride. The people doing the hijacking are the ones who don’t want to acknowledge that this was a homophobic terrorist attack.

      1. Frilly Keane

        It was a terrorist attack

        By a lone terrorist
        Motivated by Religious Intolerance and ****ology

        We are ALL at risk
        Who’s next?
        Single mums?
        Yoga teachers?
        Alcoholics?
        Feminists?
        Whatever yer having yerselves etc

        Cop on

        And if Buzz was really all that arsed that flag would be at half mast.

        Funny how tis this equalit’arian contrar’ian that points that out

        1. Nigel

          Again the apparently vital importance of diminishing the homophobic aspect of this attack. And it really seems to be motivated by some notion that the gays might be thinking they’re special just because fifty of them were murdered in one massacre or that they’re looking for attention by talking about the homophobia involved.

        3. ahjayzis

          Motivated by hatred of gay people – just fupping say it, the word homophobia won’t kill you. It did kill these people.

          Transpose your post into being about an attack on a synagogue and realise what kind of a person it would paint you as.

            How dare you

            This was a terrorist attack
            It is now known that the terrorist was also scouting *WDW.

            Who was his target there?

            This was an act of terrorism :
            Large body Count and all day news

            (*I was there in March/ April this year. And also stayed a few nights in Downtown Orlando while in Florida)

            BTW. If you’re going to fly flags to show solidarity with the victims and their families. Fly them half mast.
            Not half arsed

            Sincere condolences to the victims families, friends, colleagues and neighbours.

            “Griefsplaining. Solidarisplaining. Terrorsplaining. Frilly splains it all.”

            But isn’t that what everyone is doing on here.. ‘splaining something like.
