Right wing political commentators and hosts who spend the majority of their time going on about how LGBT people deserve less rights, should be denied services, are predators and pedophiles, and should be suppressed want to separate themselves from the violence inspired by their rantings.
But they cannot and we will not allow them to be. They are a part of the news media, it’s their job to inform. And they chose to inform their viewers that LGBT people are beneath them, that LGBT people are degenerates, and that LGBT people want to molest their kids and “turn them” trans.
They framed the existence of LGBT people as a threat that needed to be eliminated and a problem to be solved to millions of people. To me, it doesn’t matter if they never explicitly said they deserve to be gunned down.
They basically boast about how it’s okay to hate LGBT people, just don’t act on it. And that’s not good enough.
Their hatred killed us. It continues to kill us.
