A deadly shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs has left five dead and dozens injured. And if we’re going to talk about hate crimes, we have to talk about hate speech, too, @mehdirhasan says, because the rise in anti-LGBTQ violence isn't happening in a vacuum.

No, it ain’t. Your Islamic views is one of the reasons. Did you cover that too or conveniently leftist when you want, Islamic when you want?

Damn right. Each of us needs to speak out when we hear it. And stop pretending we don’t hear their whistles. Also …

And in the midst of this we have FIFA threatening soccer (football) players if they wear arm bands promoting diversity and inclusion - and love. FIFA‘s reputation at this point is so shredded I’m not sure it could get any worse, but by God they’re trying.

I want to engage this question earnestly, b/c it’s a legit question. The answer is yes, I do look at left, too. Left-wing activists are responsible for 2% of murders committed by political extremists in the US over the past decade; right-wing activists are responsible for 74%.

So are we all going to now say he/she was non binary and accept that as the truth without more evidence… or does that only work the other way?

People don’t hate the LGBTQ. People hate people who fuck with kids.

Can't believe you are saying this a “hate speech” as a Muslim, don't be ridiculous everyone knows LGBTQ+ is just shit & nonsense but no one wants to accept it.

The First Amendment wasn’t designed for things we like. They never needed a First Amendment. This Amendment was designed so that the things we hate can have a place in the marketplace of ideas. - William Kunstler
