had nothing to do with it is what most on DU have been doing and that is the opposite of what you present here. I think you KNOW that. And that bothers me greatly, mark.

DU says hetero-normative religion is innocent his family and cultural background unrelated to his actions, his fathers hateful anti gay words unimportant and so on.

So actually mark, blaming the victims while denying the stated motive of the murderer as well as his entire background is homophobic. Very much so.

Presenting conjecture as fact is always wrong. Always. Doing so with great certainty in order to avoid finding the truth is a moral failure.
