Le Sigh indeed. Too often LGBT youth are subjected to this sort of violence from their families, social groups, faith, etc. Yet we have politicians using the fact that we win certain rights (you know, to make us equal to our cis and het counterparts) as the LGBT community being 'bullies' to 'get our way'. Example…

Or maybe, you know, he finds her smart and attractive and interesting and those two grown adults greatly enjoy each others' company. Anything's possible.

She comes off a little out of touch to me. And not even in the "I'm on drugs and I just have no idea what the hell is going on around me" sort of way. I think she's very bright. But in this, it's almost like she's putting on an air of aloofness that doesn't quite work, maybe? It's like she thinks she's above all of…

Impressive show of morals by all companies involved!

Why did I buy Traveling Vodka in the first place? Now it's just going to go to waste.

what the fuck does race have to do with any of this? and last i checked, there was the same level of speculation about what drove the d.c. sniper (and his teenage accomplice) to do what they did and last i checked, they were black.

I think people are interested in this particular case because there's not comprehensible motive for mass murdering children and teachers in a school.

I'm going to go out on a ledge here and suppose that most people want to understand why this kid would murder 26 children, rather than understand why this white person would commit a crime.

i'm sorry, but something was obviously wrong with him. he was mentally ill. whatever mental illness he had, doesn't mean that everyone who has it will go on to do what he did but that doesn't mean his condition shouldn't be identified because people will get their wittle feelings hurt that the condition is being…

I cannot even imagine the guilt he lives with. Its impossible for the rest of us to accept that there is no "why" that we will ever know, it must be absolutely maddening to be the parent of someone who does something so heinous and never know what you did wrong or why you didn't see it or any of the millions of…

Isn't it just so fucking weird that people would want insight as to why someone would murder 26 children and his own mother?!

Oh fuck you. This isn't about race!

Most mass-murderers and serial killers are white males though - so it makes sense to try and figure out what triggers these people. Also, I'm not sure anyone here argues that Adam Lanza was a "nice" kid, he seems to have been plagued with issues for years.

This isn't about race. For once, let it not be about race, because it isn't. It's about mental illness in the community, guns and unspeakable tragedy. Plenty of race issues to pick on; this is not one.

Everything about this is fucking heartbreaking.

First thought

Won't someone please think of the bigots!
