Showing Original Post only (View all)Fuck the NRA .... 50 dead. [View all]
Right now the NRA is holding meetings or will hold meetings on how to
manage "the information and the news" out of Orlando so more people
can get more guns and we can have more shootings.
I just saw the # of 50 killed and I broke down for a few minutes. From
an old straight white dude I wish I could do something to take the hurt
away from the GLBT people of this nation and the world. And I am sure
that the club had many straight people in there to party too. I weep for
those people too.
