Exactly. They aren't advocating for civil rights in that sort of setting, which is why I called Obama a buffoon. Who goes to a club to discuss politics, lol?

Where do you think gay marriage and equal rights were first discussed? Your stereotyping of gay men is more than a little stale...

Canada's PM Joins Chorus, Ignores Islamic Element Of Orlando Attack
http://www.dailywire.com/news/6520/canadas-pm-joins-chorus-ignores-islamic-element-harry-khachatrian
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement following Sunday's atrocious terrorist attack in an Orlando nightclub which left 50 dead and 54 wounded.
I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn today so many people have been killed and injured following a mass shooting in Orlando, Florida.
While authorities are still investigating and details continue to be confirmed, it is appalling that as many as 50 lives may have been lost to this domestic terror attack targeting the LGBTQ2 community.
On behalf of the Government of Canada, Sophie and I offer our condolences and prayers to the families and friends of those lost today, and wish a full recovery to all those injured. We stand in solidarity with Orlando and the LGBTQ2 community.
We grieve with our friends in the United States and Florida, and offer any assistance we can provide.
By the time the statement was issued, the FBI had already confirmed that the mass murderer was a Muslim radical who’d sworn allegiance to the Islamic State in Syria (ISIS). Also known at the time was that the attacker had yelled “Allah Akbar” while gunning down innocent club-goers. Alas, Trudeau’s statement omits any mention of radicalization or Islamic terrorism.
As pointed out by CIJ News Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Halevi, since assuming power last year, every single one of Trudeau’s statements following an Islamic terrorist attack has omitted the word “Islamic”.
Despite claiming that he stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ community, Trudeau’s Liberal government is currently spearheading an effort to strengthen ties with the Iranian Islamic regime that publicly executes homosexuals.
The Canadian Prime Minister concludes by extending his arm, offering “any assistance we can provide.” Given that it was Trudeau himself who unilaterally pulled the plug on Canada’s military mission against ISIS, it is glaringly obvious that today’s entire statement was made purely out of ceremonial necessity.

A bit more about the Orlando shooter...
DavidOvalle305 6:00pm via Twitter Web Client
One of Mateen's ex-coworkers at G4S security told me he complained about the man's frequent slurs attacking gays and blacks.
"He would never have more than 3 or 4 sentences without using the word n****r or queer or dike. It was always about violence." he told me.

Please, Tiffer. Perhaps, at one point, clubs were used for that purpose, among others, but do you honestly believe that is what is being discussed nowadays? Do people not go to gay clubs to have a good time? I would imagine politics is the last thing on their minds.

Don't you already have equal rights in Canada and the States? I don't imagine gay men are going to clubs to discuss the treatment of gays across the ocean. Besides, there are countless ways to discuss gay politics these days compared to 1981. We have the internet now. Stop looking for a fight. You know this isn't on the minds of most men when going out to a club. Who would spoil a night of fun to talk about depressing issues? Gay men aren't ostracized now like they were in decades past, where they had very few places they could congregate, safely.

An Indiana man armed with three assault rifles and chemicals used to make explosives was arrested in Southern California on Sunday and told police he wanted to do harm to a gay pride parade — an event that annually draws hundreds of thousands of people, authorities said.

The early-morning arrest in Santa Monica of James Wesley Howell, 20, came just a few hours after at least 50 people were shot and killed in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., though authorities said they had found no evidence of a connection between the suspects.

Ah, of course. I love the double standard. There's no hesitation to say "Christian fundamentalist" when a "cultural" Christian commits a massacre, but when it's a muslim, it's not indicative of their faith; it's merely a case of a person with a twisted concept of Islam. Not only is this a complete farce, it's irresponsible to be pointing the finger elsewhere. Let's focus on the case at hand (Jonathan Goldsbie should talk about something he actually knows something about, such as eating Fig Newtons by the sleeve). It's also because of Christianity that gay people can live in freedom. The same can't be said for nations of predominantly Islamic faith. But facts don't matter when they don't fit the narrative.

I'd actually advocate an alternate solution. Instead of aiming for any one subgroup on behalf of any particular cultural value, make the aim universal--that is, target every single person presently residing in the USA. Kill EVERYONE, in an escalating spree of mass murders and/or suicides. Because--this ain't working anymore. Left or right, religious or secular, put the country and its present populace out of its misery.

Kill them all. And it'll be more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
And if it sets up a chain reaction where the entire planet is depopulated--all the better. We've turned ourselves into garbage; so, kill everyone of us.
(Seriously, I *wouldn't* find it hard to believe if there's some active plot to access whatever Doomsday button or buttons exist to fulfil *exactly* that goal.)

adma, don't be so overly positive/hopeful.
We're not all garbage. There is still plenty of good left in humanity and lots to live for. I doubt you're ready to die without one last taste of raisin nut bread.
What do you mean by your last sentence? Are you suggesting that there is a contrived plot by world governments to exterminate us; or at least, dwindle our numbers to a more manageable level?

Easy to overlook, with the onslaught of political posturing, that these were just ordinary people...
So much sadness. #OrlandoShooting
