Gays Ruin Everything

You might've heard that there was a shooting yesterday at the Family Research Council. No one was killed, one security guard was shot in the arm. The shooter was a man named Floyd Lee Corkins II. Not much is known about him other than his volunteer work at The DC Center for the LGBT Community.

What is known is how the conservatives in this country have wasted no time in blaming this shooting on all gay people and their supporters, by instantly playing the victim card.

I, as a gay American, am no more responsible for that shooting than any straight person is responsible for the Colorado shooting or the recent Sihk temple shooting, and I detest these crazy conservatives for even suggesting that gays and liberals are responsible.

Because the shooting happened on their own turf, now it's personal for them. Their false sense of security they held spewing hate and vitriol while hiding behind their religious views has been shattered. So, obviously they are blaming the easiest target. It must be the homos that caused this to happen, they instantly lay blame. I mean why not? We're very powerful. We cause hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and wildfires. Why wouldn't we all, as a collective whole, be responsible for one man shooting another in the arm in DC?

Do I condone this violence? No way. I am a firm believer that we need stronger gun control laws in this country. Am I thankful no one was killed? Yes. The security guard did his job. He kept this man from killing more people. He was quickly disarmed and taken into police custody. I'm sorry he was wounded and I wish him a quick and speedy recovery.

But let's look at this for what it really is. A man shot someone. Those actions were the actions of that man alone, not an entire community. And to place blame over an entire community is not fair and quite detestable.

I still personally feel the people at FRC, NOM and the like are nothing but a bunch of shitbags, and their actions over the past 24 hours do nothing to change my opinion.
