Go figure.

Since the shooting in Orlando, one glaring contradiction has emerged.

On little evidence beyond one gun shop in Colorado and what would appear to be a bit of wishful thinking, a story has been promoted that Gay people are now arming themselves for their own protection.

Pink Pistols, a GLBT gun club that has existed for years is being talked about like it just started.

Being a member of the Gay community, what I have been reading in stories that have originated from within it ,the GLBT Community is angry enough at the inaction in Washington when it comes to stricter gun laws that would make it more difficult for people who shouldn’t have them to obtain guns that can kill a lot of people in a short time, the word is that GLBT organizations are going to work to slow down if not end the stranglehold the NRA has on D.C.

Obviously the false story about our arming ourselves will be used to first claim that Gay people are dangerous as they are now armed, and then that killing any can be justified as self defense.

But this is what I was alluding to earlier.

If you read the essays and transcripts of radio talk shows by religious leaders, they are the ones promoting arms purchases, and in their new found egalitarianism, they are including Gay people among those who should arm themselves.

These are the same religious people who will refuse a cake, or any other services to Gay people based on firmly held religious beliefs, but seem to have no problem selling them guns.

If you are Gay they will refuse to sell you a cupcake, but they will be more than happy to sell you a gun.

They claim that selling a cake makes them complicit in a marriage they cannot support because, unlike the Bible’s version of marriage, in Gay ones there are no rapists, goats, concubines, brother’s widows, or incest required as they are in the Bible, but even though there is that Fifth Commandment thing against murder, they are more than happy to sell you the instrument you can use to commit one, which would seem to go against their firmly held religious beliefs, but, somehow, doesn’t.

Go figure
