Pulse is also a predominantly black and Latinx club too which makes this hurt even more.

Don’t make this about race.

It wasn’t about race, it was about the fact that those people were members of the LGBT community, don’t bring race in to this.

It DOES include race especially since last night was latino night and he planned it out and traveled two hours on LATINO NIGHT to commit the mass shooting. the majority of the members were LGBT latinxs. he also became enraged at two men kissing in miami, which more than likely the couple was also latinx. it absolutely includes race shut the fuck up.

@dokan-satoshi @official-albert-wesker Yes make this about race

Acknowledging the victims’ races is extremely important to going deeper into the motives of the shooter (an lgbtqia+ hate crime) but we can’t make this all about race, because that contradicts us saying to homophobes/islamaphobics that Omar (shooters name) means he was ‘a Muslim.’ The shooters race shouldn’t matter, it was a hate crime. The media would play it differently if it was a black/white shooter, yes. But we should be acknowledging the races of those dead and injured, without making this solely about race. This was mostly an lgbtqia+ hate crime, not a racial crime.The father of the shooter even explained his plan was BECAUSE of seeing a gay couple being affectionate. I am apart of the lgbtqia+. Especially since this happened during pride month this is a blow, but we shouldn’t zone in and nit pick for multiple things. He DID most likely plan on going on latinx night, which does make the situation partially about race, but not 100%. We need to acknowledge all aspects in order to help, heal, and fight back on these crimes. Staying silent has killed us for centuries, and I’ll be damned if it keeps killing us all.
