The local Pride parade was today. Usually not my thing, but I was being tempted to go with some friends. Woke up and was too much of a wreck to comprehend the everything going on. The American version of the show "Queer as Folk", ended the series with the local gay club being being blown up by a hate group. I remember always telling my friends how unrealistic the ending was. No way that would ever actually occur in the US. Well ten years later, something even worse happened. In the show, they rebuilt the club and the community lived on. The community has been shit on enough throughout their entire lives and this won't keep us down.
I still cannot comprehend how there is still a segment of this country that doesn't see the problem. It isn't going away. Only getting worse every year with these mass murder body counts are growing larger. Disturbingly, it is almost inevitable something worse will happen in the next decade. They can tie this to ISIS or Islam as much as they want, but it doesn't change that this was an American, who massacred other Americans in an American bar, with a rifle purchased in America made by an American company.
