this tragedy that brings together anti-Black racism, White supremacy, terrorism, and gun ownership and a lack of education should give homosexuals a reason to stand up and wonder:
Could this easily happen at a queer venue or queer event or a gay wedding or in a Metropolitan Community Church or any gay-friendly place of worship?
The history of the US would suggest that gays could take actions to help themselves by building stronger less racist relationships within the gay communities that exist across the US.
Should gays in Texas go get licenses to carry a concealed weapon?
What do Texas Education Agency curricula and other state social studies curricula say about educating about homosexuals as a normal part of the community sense Texas has been in existence? This would mean talking about homosexuality as it has existed across time and across cultures and classes.
Do schools have viable anti-hate anti-racism programs that encourage gay parents to come and be active members as well as parents with gay children to make their presences known?
Remember that the most segregated hour in the US remains that spent in most churches and this was never the fault of Blacks or Browns or Yellows or Reds but results from practices put into law and put in as local custom/heritage [Confederate flags] by White Americans.
The blond blue-eyed boy who committed this murder is about to be made a scapegoat for hundreds of years of intentional exclusionary racist practices that he did not create but was born into and absorbed dysconsciously because that is what he was exposed to everyday through media, graphics, films, tv shows, school curricula, advertisements. He committed a heinous act for which he should be held accountable. He is entitled to a fair trial and legal defense according to the US Constitution. Violating his constitutional rights, civil rights, and human rights would be sickeningly wrong.
