Tell ALL of your homophobic "Christian" peers the same thing right now. [View all]

From now on, if you hear ANYONE claiming that the victims of that shooting got what they deserved, you tell that person that they are siding with ISIS.

Don't let them protest and say, "No! I'm Christian!" You tell them, "Funny, for a Christian, you seem to have a shit ton in common with ISIS right now!"

Extremist bigoted versions of religion have NO PLACE in this world. Call it out.
