It doesn't matter that people with non-traditional sexual identification have been harrassed, beaten and murdered for all of our history by good Christians. I saw an explanation today with a right winger saying that transgender people were mentally defective and that is why the shooting took place...Some people will not miss the chance to stir up hatred.

These same right wingers will claim, with a straight face, that all modern mass killers were liberals.
