ENOUGH
Have We Had Enough Killing Yet?
Enough is enough. Time for discussion and rational discourse is long past. We demand action.
The news from Colorado Springs this morning is grim: five dead, 18 injured in yet another use of a gun to slaughter human beings. I’m sure the news over the next few days will be filled with all sorts of commentary and opinions attempting to explain why this happens. Some will blame the shooter, of course. Others will blame the entire LGBTQ+ community. Where any one person falls in this spectrum of blame, I fear, will largely depend on their political leanings.
It shouldn’t be this way. These are human beings being MURDERED, for God’s sake. Doesn’t matter if they’re gay, straight, Black, white, male, female, whatever. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS, no different than any of the rest of us.
Oh, but they ARE different, you say? You’re white, they’re Black, so they’re different? You’re straight, they’re gay, so there’s definitely a difference? BULLSHIT.
My dog is a tan golden retriever, your dog is a black boxer, but they still have fun playing together. Yeah, they might get a little nippy from time to time, but in the end they’ll fall asleep in a tangled cuddle puddle, just happy to be friends.
