Politico, the Democrat party’s political online news magazine, has an interesting article about how not all gays are embracing self-defense and rugged individualism, but instead turning to more failed gun control to keep them save from Muslim terrorists.  It’s almost as if they are bitterly clinging to the same failed public policy that facilitated the slaughter of fifty gays at that nightclub in Orlando.

Because more gun control will stop Muslim terrorists intent on carrying out jihad upon Western Civilization in general and non-Muslims in particular.

LGBT groups to Trump: No thanks

(Politico) – Donald Trump’s speech casting himself as a defender of the LGBT community in the wake of Sunday’s massacre at a gay nightclub in Florida did not go over well with the country’s largest gay rights group.

Color me surprised.  Gay rights advocates (sometimes not-so-affectionately known as the gay mafia) owe a great deal to liberal Democrats for carrying their water on same-sex marriage, which has been normalized and accepted by a majority of Americans.

And other groups are even considering joining the push for new gun-control measures, rejecting Trump’s call for Americans to take up arms and defend themselves.

Advocating for victimhood, too?  That’s interesting.  For supposedly welcoming diversity, why are they considering joining a push to strip Americans of the right to choose whether or not to embrace the proven benefits of firearm ownership?

Trump is “no friend of the LGBTQ community,” Jay Brown, a spokesperson for Human Rights Campaign, said Monday. “Donald Trump has vowed to roll back marriage equality, pass Kim Davis-style discrimination and allow governors from coast to coast to pass laws like North Carolina’s HB2,” he said.

Trump probably doesn’t have the votes or the public sentiment to do that.  But don’t let that get in the way of “they sky will be falling” rhetoric from little Jay.

Brown added that the perpetrator of the shooting at Pulse Nightclub was an “an American citizen conditioned to hate and to believe that LGBTQ people deserved to be massacred.”

News flash, Jay:  This was an Islamic terror attack, part of Islam’s war on Western Civilization, not a hate crime.  The Muslim terrorist was a gay Muslim who went on jihad for his religion, perhaps to atone for committing the mortal sin (in the Muslim religion) of homosexuality.

Jo Michael, legislative manager at Equality California, said Sunday’s events had moved the LGBT community, and Michael’s organization would look more closely at supporting gun control legislation at the state and federal level.

“Equality California has been involved with legislation around hate crimes, making sure that legislation is implemented,” Michael said. “What is going to be different moving forward is being directly involved in supporting legislation is specifically about gun control.”

Because gays protected by hate crime laws don’t get bashed?  The only thing that stops gays getting bashed with nearly universal effectiveness is a handgun.

Armed gays don’t get bashed.

And Politico saved the best for last!

“This is a moment that should be for all of a moment of electrifying clarity for something that has not been sufficiently acknowledged,” Minter said. “I think recognizing that gun control is so central to achieving basic equality in our country is a message that we haven’t put forth strongly enough.”

“I think that something our movement has learned over the years is to let the experts lead, so we will take our cues from the leaders of the gun control movement,” Mark Snyder from Equality Federation told POLITICO.

Perhaps it’s time for the everyday LGBTQ Americans reject their self-appointed “leaders” and decide for themselves that they would rather take steps towards ensuring their personal safety rather than supporting those who would leave them defenseless, and “fish in a barrel” for the next Muslim terror attack.

After all, the national Democrat party seems to care more about bringing in more Muslims than about keeping America’s LGBTQ population safe from violence.

The Left Chose Islam Over Gays. Now 100 People Are Dead Or Maimed In Orlando

by Milo

Over 100 people have been killed or maimed at a gay dance club in Orlando by Omar Mateen, a Muslim terrorist. How many more innocent gays need to die before we admit that America, and the world, has an Islam problem?

I don’t mean a “radical Islam” problem or an “extremist Islam problem.” Violence is not the extreme in Islam any more: it’s the norm. The public’s patience for comments like the one below, from the dimwitted lesbian Sally Kohn, are wearing thin. As for mine, it’s long since run out.

EVERY religion has sub-groups of intolerant extremism. You can’t tell me the problem is religion. The problem is intolerant extremism!

Obama’s response to the tragedy today was similarly limp-wristed. He made no mention of Islam or Muslims, instead condemning “hate and terror” and taking a brazen swipe at gun rights activists by noting “how easy it is to let people get their hands on a weapon.”

He didn’t even address the uniquely homophobic character of the attack. What a good liberal!

There’s no more room for equivocating. The Orlando shooting isn’t just the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. shores since 9/11. It is also, by far, the worst act of violent homophobia in the nation’s history and the deadliest mass shooting in America ever.

According to the murderer’s father, his son became angry after he saw two men kissing in the street. “This had nothing to do with religion,” said the father, Seddique Mateen. “He saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry” — as if that was some kind of excuse.

That same father is on record defending the Taliban.

What sort of a man gets so angry by displays of affection, joy, and love that he chooses to gun down innocent people in a nightclub? A Muslim man. And if this one isn’t particularly religious, imagine how much worse the faithful must be.

America has to make a choice. Does it want gay rights, women’s emancipation, and tolerance for people of all nonviolent faiths — or does it want Islam?

Indeed.
