The Muslim terrorist Omar Mateen killed more gays in his attack than Christians have in hate crimes in the last 10 years combined.

Why do we allow people to start threads that can't up with something new? That's what I want to know.

Therefore, we should hate all Muslims?

Gay marriage is legalized in Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and in many states of Mexico. Not all Latinos are anti-homosexuality, and you really should not judge a whole region like that

Also Latinos have been around in the US for more than a century, and a huge wave came over during the Reagan years. It's not like the Democrats imported 50 million people all by themselves come on, get real

Plantation politics- the same way that Repubs keep poor whites in check by hating on those same minorities.

My ancestors were not immigrants. Yours were.

That’s all I need to know.

I'm just saying the gay community has more to fear from Muslim immigrants than from American Christians.

Personally I'm okay with state reconignized gay marriage as long as businesses have the religious freedom to not participate in a gay wedding (different than refusing to do business with someone simply because they're gay). And as long as churches aren't required to perform gay marriage or forced to accept the gay lifestyle.

I don't think gays should be physically attacked or verbally harassed. The average Muslim feels very differently.

No? So you're a Native American? I thought you were a Mexican. (though your screen name would be fitting for a Dearborn Muslim). My ancestors are LEGAL immigrants.
