It's the guns, yes, but it is even more the hate. Back on the island when I was young and dumb I knew a beautiful young boy who was just a little different. And that can be hard when you live on a 8 square mile Caribbean island. He got up and moved to NYC and now Bianka is so fabulously happy and living her full, creative and loving life. Stonewall had a lot to do with that. Love you Hank for all that you say and do and for all that you are. I hope the world gets it soon.<br /><br /><br />-invisigalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-15453646083596326302016-06-13T16:27:31.188-04:002016-06-13T16:27:31.188-04:00Thank you, Hank.

Fifty people who have families and friends will not get to see them again. And all I am hearing in this god awful conservative right wing state is how there needs to be racial profiling and killing of Muslims. WTF. Anyway, peace to you.

It is just too much. I am once again filled with sorrow and despair for this country, for all humanity. That moment in time when our babies were slaughtered in Sandy Hook Elementary School and we turned our backs and DID NOTHING, I knew. We will NEVER do anything to change this and these horrific events will keep happening. But thank you Hank for reminding me that all I can really do is look around in my own life and be kind and love, find someone who needs a hug or a helping hand. And to do it NOW. TODAY.

As you can well imagine, th...Dearest Hank and Mary,<br />As you can well imagine, the news reached this household too and wasn't very well received. It's a terrifying time for our LGBTQ sons and daughters.<br />I'm not saying America needs to be more like Canada, but goddamn it, y'all need to get someone in office who will take the guns off the goddamn streets there. Every time I hear of a mass shooting, it starts with "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of _________." Thoughts and prayers aren't going to do shit, you need action and rules to stop the goddamn madness. <br />As the mother of a trans gay son, I worry every damn day about my kid being hurt. I can't even imagine what the mothers of all those victims are going through. The agony. The sorrow. The frustration that their kids were able to carve out a space in the world where they could be safe and some "religious" person decided to take it away. <br />I agree that everyone who is LGBTQ needs their allies to stand tall and proud for them and be the voices that help stop this madness. Those our our kids, our brothers, our sisters and they need us. <br />RoxanneHeartinhandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-77046276159209667902016-06-13T13:55:07.317-04:002016-06-13T13:55:07.317-04:00Amazing words as are those of A Man Walks Into A B...Amazing words as are those of A Man Walks Into A Bar. Should be read far and wide. Would Hank put them on a FB post? If he does let me know and I will share in the UK. People are gathering in London's Gay Village in Soho now for a vigil in Solidarity. Also across the UK and the World. Wish there was more that we could do than stand with you. Shake some sense into your Govt and the NRA and this ridiculous right for people to have these type of guns. I would say all guns but surely at least getting rid of these machine gun things that can kill so many people at once would help? I don't know really. It is heartbreaking.

The world would not be balanced without our gay community. We need what you all bring to the spectrum. I am appalled at the discrimination that can exist in a tragedy like this - it is simply inhumane.<br />And I wish a whole lot more people could read your words.<br />Thank you.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-3775625378112616862016-06-13T10:58:06.425-04:002016-06-13T10:58:06.425-04:00I can understand why you are proud of this son of ...I can understand why you are proud of this son of yours.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929646037752189809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-11146673684567910332016-06-13T09:35:58.636-04:002016-06-13T09:35:58.636-04:00The NRA needs to be held accountable for every fuc...The NRA needs to be held accountable for every fucking gun death in this country.
