But if they wanted to be timely since it's Pride Month, they could have worn a "5,000" pin for the number of gay people executed since the glorious revolution.

One person's "tribute" is another person's "propaganda" I reckon.

This bombing killed more people than the Oklahoma City Bombing, by the way.

Remember the children, unless they happen to be gay. Then we hang them.

The hypocrisy is so funny (not really). One thing humans love doing is killing people who aren’t like us in some way, while also desperately grasping for the moral high ground. It’s pathetic.
