Orlando and "Politicization"

"The good news is there's 50 less pedophiles in this world, because these homosexuals are a bunch of disgusting perverts and pedophiles. That's who was a victim here, are a bunch of disgusting homosexuals at a gay bar." - Pastor Steven L. Anderson of Arizona.
So many people are decrying that this killing is being "politicized" and then immediately decrying that the damn liberals/democrats won't call this a terrorist driven event by radical Islam.
Here's the thing, the LGBT community has been, and continues to be, a political football. My entire existence has been politicized as long as I was aware enough to realize that I was gay.
I think many want this to be declared an ISIS attack so that they can forget that it was almost 100 members of the LGBT community that were killed or injured, and more specifically many Latinx members of the community, and not have to think about their own role in this. The type of hate spewed by ISIS and it's ilk towards the LGBT community is not very much different than many of the "Christians" here in the states.
So watch this. Seriously. Watch it. This is the local, home grown, extremism that LGBT folks need to deal with.
It's disgusting and will turn your stomach. It should.
