Reply #292: How many gay people go around literally beating up [View All]

straight people to the point of near death and then leave them to suffer immeasurably only to die slowly and painfully after being found days later. And how many straight people have their funeral picketed? Give me one instance of an actual straight bashing. I challenge you to do it. I know you won't find where gay people target straights and gang up and kill them brutally like what gay people have to endure in life. And when you say "murdered" are you just counting being killed by gunshot and dying fast or are you counting severe beatings that end in death and no prosecution of the murder because that person was of one sexual orientation or another.

Can you stop for one second and think about what it might be like if the shoe was on the other foot and you were targeted in your daily life by gay people who wanted to bludgeon you to death simply because you are straight? Or are you capable of stopping to think about it because you know you will never have to worry about that sort of thing happening to you. Some of us live with it all our lives and we know that if we are murdered, there might or might not be anyone charged in our murder. We are at the mercy of just how bigoted our local D.A. may be. If said D.A. sees outrage over the murder, they decide to prosecute, i.e. Matthew Shepherd. If they don't hear much outrage in the community, they do nothing. I know about that see. It happens like that where I live, based on sexual orientation.

Gay bashings happen here, not to mention arson, assault, and other violent crimes against people for merely not being white and moving into the wrong neighborhood. You need to take the blinders off. This country hasn't progressed much in the last 50 years although right wing talking points would have us believe all problems have been solved and bigotry no longer exists. Methinks you have bought into that argument, but you are sadly mistaken.

I would highly suggest you get off that pompous pedestal you have placed yourself on and listen to people who are trying to talk to you.
