(45,319 posts)watching so many DUers who have accepted hateful anti gay rhetoric out of Rick Warren, Donnie McClurkin and other preachers associated with Obama's first campaign, who insisted that LGBT people endure being called child murderers, who taunted us unmercifully for daring to object to denigrating language in our own Party, watching such people suddenly have empathy for the Paris killers because those murderers felt 'insulted'. Well what about Rick Warren calling gay people pedophiles then climbing up on our national stage to flip us off? DU said gay people 'just wanted a pony' when we objected to denigrating hate speech, but DUers opine that the Paris killers had understandable reasons to take action. 'I don't condone murder, but....' they'd say.
Just made it very clear how little many straight people think of LGBT people. They see us as less worthy of respect that mass murderers who target artists and Jews.
So this OP really helps to make some balance for the raging anti gay sentiment that rules many quarters on DU.
