These are not equivalent. If somebody opposed to gay marriage was shot and killed by gay marriage supporters, then maybe you have a point.

But anti-gay bigots destroy the livelihoods of LGBT people all of the time by firing them from jobs, kicking them out of families, etc.

I don't think it was about their relationship. I think it was probably some sicko, that forced them to do something, and decided to cover up the true intentions.



They are too beautiful to be shot. While I do not consider an 18 year old a teenager. I also find it terrible that they were shot. This has nothing to do with their sexual nature at all. All I see is two girls who was on purposely dropped into the park, as a cheezy way of dumping the bodies. Also the fact that one is alive, we will never know.



No nope, nope, this has nothing to do with non-heterosexual activities. Maybe it was the other girl? Maybe it was another woman involved? Maybe a love tri-angle of some sort.



It could have been a woman hater, or a non-heterosexual male who did that to them. Their are men who are afraid of women as well. Their are tons of reasons why??

non-heterosexuals are not LGBT, and nobody has not done anything wrong to people of that nature since the 1950s. So what if you do not want to give them, money. They have more of them taking away jobs from straight people. In fact you remove all the non-heterosexuals from the worforce, you have a bunch of people who needs the jobs to reproduce. If a father or mother wants to throw out a family member, so be it. It is their house their rights. If it was a kid, who was too old, they would have the notion, to kick them out either way.

Mollie Judith Olgin, 19, and Mary Christine Chapa, 18, were found in knee-deep grass in a nature area in Portland by a couple Saturday, said Portland Police Chief Randy Wright, who confirmed to msnbc.com details first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller Times.

Thoughts?
South Texas is more or less Mexican and Mexican culture.

Then you add in the factor that the Bakers business wasn't "ruined" by the gay couple. The publicity has made his business "thrive" according to the owner. I assume it was because of the Chick fil A effect.

No, on second thought, no comment. Why bother, it would be a waste of time!

I was ridiculing your statement. That's why I put the sarcasm smile at the end.
