Reblogging again because I thought they changed the quote so I decided to look up the actual quote and it’s not fake that is very much the actual quote

[capitulism]

The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.

June 12, 2016. Putting a date on this for when it gets reblogged months from now by people who think the post is about something from 30, 40 years ago.

I am a survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting, having grown up in Orlando and just turned 20 a month prior. If you didn’t know, there were several families who refused to claim the bodies of their relatives due to their sexuality. One family even had their relative’s name removed from the memorial. Murdered by the same hate with which their families reject them in both life and death.

Many, many people celebrated Pulse. We were told we deserved it. That it was God’s punishment for our sin of loving the same sex. We are sent messages like these I received in 2018:

We in the community often call the victim count 49+ to include the survivors who couldn’t live with the pain.

The event was never officially declared a hate crime or targeted homophobic attack and is rarely listed as one in databases.

At our vigils for those slaughtered, Extremist Christian groups showed up to protest, holding signs like this:

ID: Me kissing a woman I was casually seeing in front of an angry looking man with a “Sodomy is Sin” sign.

Please understand how much more than just a mass shooting this was. We are still to this day harassed and told we deserved it by some.

This year was the sixth anniversary. The first couple years I received dozens of messages checking in on me on 6/12. Year 5 got enough news coverage for people to think to reach out to me. This year it was my therapist, the woman I kissed in that photo, and a couple of other gun violence survivor friends. People are forgetting already.

With the 7 year anniversary <2 weeks away, I figured I’d reblog this

'The archways seem like the silhouette of a woman. Yes, that was the idea. With a bonnet and a greatcoat. What is curious, is the shape of the grave of the mother is the shape of the mother in the corridor and the shape of the mother in the corridor is the shape of the corridor in crimson and the shape of the keyhole, that Lucille looks through. It's not that I ascribe any meaning to that, but i love the idea of doing those visual echoes and it absolutely looks like a woman with a bonnet.' - Tom Hiddleston and Guillermo del Toro discuss 'the gothic corridor' Crimson Peak Extras | I remember Crimson Peak

"Christ on a cracker" well actually I think you'll find Christ is the cracker. And also the wine. But you wouldn't know that you fucking protestant heathen

[log6]

I love how American Christians are so unfamiliar with their own belief system they're making this a joke about jesus being white and not a joke about transubstantiation. I'm not even Christian and I know this.
