LGBT Activists Blame Christians for Orlando Attack

Several prominent gay-rights activists took to social media to blame Christians for Sunday’s massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando.

Chase Strangio, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union, on Sunday said the “Christian Right” is implicated in the slaughter by passing “anti-LGBT bills.”

“The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months, and people are blaming Islam for this. No,” Mr. Strangio said in a Twitter post.

Mr. Strangio was not the only one to draw a moral equivalence between Christianity’s teaching on sexuality and the mass shooting, which was carried out by a man who swore his allegiance to the Islamic State.

Sally Kohn, an MSNBC contributor who is outspoken about LGBT rights, accused those who subscribe to traditional sexual morality of hypocrisy for condemning the murder of gay people.

“Always fascinating to watch conservatives who won’t support basic non-discrimination laws bash Islamic fundamentalists for being anti-gay,” Ms. Kohn said on Twitter.

“You either support the dignity & equal treatment of all LGBT people or you support their systemic dehumanization,” she said in another post.

“Islamic Extremists kill LGBT people,” a third post said. “Christian and Jewish extremists just drive us to commit suicide.”

  1. Just how whack job do these Mass Media sites get? It's equal to blaming the Bible for mass murder.

    People get off track so easily.

  2. Nobody in the world is advocating bashing anyone ever. These people are manufacturing hate just to be doing that.

  3. Where are the defenders of the gays and lesbians? Why no retribution on Islam?
    Why aren't the LEFT wing homo's protesting at Mosques?

    It's ISLAMs Fault! They throw homosexuals off 10 story buildings.
    WHERE IS THE GAY ARMY?

  6. It was a MUSLIM terrorist (yes, I know he is US citizen) that killed these people, how does that equate to Christians, in any sort of way?
    What are people smoking/drinking these days? I want to stay away from that Kool-Aid
