1. If people say that they want to pray, let them. You are not in control of what some people need to do to mourn in their own way. If you don't want to pray, that's fine. But ordering and shaming people who do want to pray as one of their action steps, what business is it of yours anyway? If you feel that you must order people to stop praying, then I think that you are as bad as any religious zealot when they tell the rest of us how we are supposed to live our lives.
2. But, piggybacking on that, don't stop at praying and mourning. Get ANGRY and get involved in your local, state, and national government so that when we vote in November, we are voting IN people who will do something to support human rights and gun control and voting OUT those that have been do-nothing the past four to eight years. You have power. Use it.
From Mark Kleim: "As an act of defiance, I am going to spend the day at the largest, queerest, most ragingly faggotty places I can find today. I will not be terrorized."
3. As per Mark Kliem's post, I intend on spending as much time during New York's Pride season going to as many super gay events as possible/as I can afford during my current job hunt.
4. I can be certain of staying safe by curling up in my apartment and waiting for Pride to pass. But that's foolish because then the terrorists really have won (by making you live your life in fear).
5. This is now a war and we will win it. Our weapons will be glitter, beads, leather, go go boys, beards, and same sex couples kissing anywhere and everywhere we can. You thought we were in your face before? Then you won't like what's coming because do not piss off a queen. We will also make it our singular mission to vote out (as per my second point) those who have done jack shit over the past few years to support human rights and gun control.
6. It can't be said enough - Drumpf exceeds at being an asshole. True, that bar is setting exceedingly low but today he managed to lower it even further. Congrats, Donald.
7. When people are upset, they couldn't give a shit about grammar and spelling. Geez, people, commenting about that - well, it's not cute, funny, or snarky, it's just you being an asshole. Don't be an asshole.
Tomorrow, I may be in a mood to be nice, to be loving. Today, not so much.
