A small venting regarding Orlando
I personally am in favor of the pink psitols becoming the military arm of the lgbt community, and protecting lgbt folks from anyone, not relying on local police and hoping you don't get a homophobic cop that will find any way he can to throw gays in jail or under the proverbial bus, we need an army of our own to make things change in our favor, not just a simple movement for rights.
No just no! This is an organization that stated that the gun was not to blame for the attack. You know if the shooter had a 9 mm the body count would not be at 49 and 50 injured. The pink pistols are a dangerous right wing organization that are sucking the dicks of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnel.
I had to bury 4 people this week. 4 funerals in one week I got another 3 next week. I'm not suppose to go to that many funerals in a 2 week period at my age. This isn't the 80's or 90's. If you want a militant wing of the LGBT community look to organizations like ACT UP. That's an organization that got stuff done. The federalist papers stated what the founding fathers Ment in regards to the 2nd amendment. A militia. And in 1939 the Supreme Court defended that when stating a sawed off shotgun was illegal. Because it wasn't part of a militias arsenal.
As for cops I know PLENTY of LGBT law enforcement officers, one of the plaintiffs that got DOMA overturned was the wife of a police officer. Many cities in the US and globally has an LGBT liaison unit. So I have to commend OPD for their support, hard work and dedication over the past week. I also commend officers who protected vigils and marches globally. (Except for the Mounties I don't know what the heck they been doing j/k love you Dave)
In DC the LGBT liaison unit is one of the most decorated and sought after posting by police officer. That's a unit that works with, protects AND TRAIN other units in how to assist and deal with the LGBT community. So yes I think the cops are doing a kick ass job and as a gay militant ex-Navy gun owner I shun the pink pistols.
Well, hell if I knew any of that, around here it seems to me that most cops are anti gay manly men and the pink psitols are just a gays with guns group.
We still need to get some sort of balance for this, first the attacks and then the erasure, and now continued oppression, it can't be won by simple sit ins and marches anymore, straights think we got finished when we won marriage, we must force the straight world to change now, before they let us get slaughtered because they grew bored of our "freakishness"
I'm probably just a bit, more hostile than I should be because the way Orlando went down and has been treated, I am just, still angry and scared that it'd happen again.
