(53,959 posts)While the article doesn't seek to "redeem" or "excuse" the actions of Mateen, what we are supposed to understand is the massacre of our brothers and sisters in Orlando wasn't an expression of homophobia, but rather one of Islamophobia. If these co-workers hadn't been judgmental bigots, then, who knows, maybe the Pulse murders wouldn't have happened. That is how I saw the article and its attempt to make this tragedy, once again, about something other than homophobia/heterosexism. So see, BNW, if we didn't have such luminaries as Max Blumenthal and those like him to 'splain this to us, we might go on thinking, in our hysterical homosexual minds, that this act of violence was really an act of brutality against the GLBT population.
Aren't we so lucky we have so many willing to "set us straight"?
(BNW, I know you understand this is sarcastic shade (not directed at you), but I have to add this caveat, less someone not realize what I am actually saying.)
BTW, did you notice they are still trying to pimp the "he was a self-loathing homo" bit?
