tess-is-elated:

My feelings about Orlando come in big weird globs of emotion but the white hot rage and sadness I felt when I saw a number of straight people on social media pontificating about the shooter’s sexuality broke me a little.

Ah yes, they say. Who really was surprised to find out he was gay? The biggest homophobes are always gay, they nod to each other sagely. It’s gay people killing each other, and good old enlightened me doesn’t have to look inward at all.
