1. Although the gunman specifically attacked a gay nightclub during Pride Month, this is really just an attack on the American way of life of going out on the weekends: There’s no need to defend the rights of gay people when you could instead just talk about how we’re not going to be scared away from fun nightlife activities. You could even consider using a completely beside-the-point hashtag like #NoToFearYesToWeekends when you post your labyrinthine arguments online.

And Sky "News" presenters actually freakin' used this argument as though it wasn't batshit crazy.
God almighty.

Watch gay erasure in real time, as SkyNews host Mark Longhurst repeatedly interrupts gay Guardian columnist Owen Jones, saying the #Orlando mass-shooting was an attack against "human beings trying to enjoy themselves, whatever their sexuality."

Broadcaster Julia Hartley-Brewer, who was also present, accused Jones of "taking ownership" of the tragedy, as though his pointing out that the targets of the attack were LGBTQ somehow denied anyone's right to grieve.
