Unhinged Pro Gay Terrorist Shoots Up Anti Gay Hate Group's Headquarters

-
Do you see what I did there?  I described the situation accurately.  Both sides in this story are wrong; The Family Research Council for spreading lies and hatred about the gay community and the idiot "gay activist" who reacted to that hatred with violence.

Via The Washington Post:

A security guard at the Family Research Council was shot and wounded Wednesday morning after a scuffle with a man who expressed disagreement with the group’s conservative views in the lobby of the group’s headquarters in downtown Washington, authorities said.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the shooter walked into the lobby of the building at about 10:45 and was confronted by the security guard as if the guard were asking him where he was going.
The man then took out a gun and opened fire on the guard, Lanier said. The guard and others wrestled the man to the ground, disarmed him and waited for police, she said. The guard was then taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, the chief said. FBI officials said the guard was shot in the arm.
The point of all this is DON'T RESPOND TO ANTI-GAY HATRED WITH VIOLENCE!!!

 John Avarosis at AmericaBlog makes the point that the FRC has a 20 year track record of ruining the lives of the LGBT community.  We as a community need to make that point over and over again, while condemning violence of any kind, including gay bashing!

Via ThinkProgress: When Harvard student Matthew Vines came out as gay his sophomore year, he was “relieved and crushed” — crushed specifically because he worried he wouldn’t be welcome in his Kansas hometown. Not content to accept condemnation from his conservative Christianity, Vines took a leave of absence from college to thoroughly study the supposed conflict between homosexuality and the Bible. Earlier this month, he  presented the results of his research  i

I was kind of looking forward to seeing the banners in person, but I'm stuck inside!  With the shift in public attitudes about the LGBT community, groups like the Florida Family Association are only exposing their extreme hatred to the rest of the world.   Via Huffington Post: The Florida Family Association will reportedly make good on an earlier vow to protest Walt Disney World's annual "Gay Days" event  by flying two planes carrying "warning" banners  over the Orlando-based resort this weekend. The organization, which has also protested the event in previous years, says the action is a response to "many, many letters and emails from people across the country" who inadvertently planned their Disney vacations during "Gay Days." Organizers also cite a letter from a grandfather who took his two-year-old granddaughter to the park 18 years ago and called the event "the most deplorable sight that we ever saw." "We want t
