Save a Gay, Shoot a Homophobe

We're not shocked that the Log Cabin Republicans are happy with yesterdays Supreme Court ruling on the Second Amendment. What did surprise us why they're so happy we'll now be flooded with weapons and gun violence.

"This is an excellent decision for all Americans-gay and straight," said Log Cabin Republicans President Patrick Sammon.

"Unfortunately, too many LGBT Americans still face the threat of anti-gay violence.

"We're happy the Supreme Court has affirmed the right for us to protect ourselves and our families from harm. Self defense is not a privilege, it's a right," said Sammon.

Why do Republicans (gay or straight) always insist on using violence to solve problems? Is a world where the automatic response to a gay-bashing is to shoot someone and possibly kill them a world any of us want to live in?
