NY Times, what idiots, our villain was gay

NY Times: While the precise motivation for the rampage remains unclear, it is evident that Mr. Mateen was driven by hatred toward gays and lesbians. Hate crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. They occur where bigotry is allowed to fester, where minorities are vilified and where people are scapegoated for political gain. Tragically, this is the state of American politics, driven too often by Republican politicians who see prejudice as something to exploit, not extinguish.

The LGTB community needs a better message.  The NY Times just accused our gay villain of being a Republican!   I mean, this is just an invitation for the Islamo-hysterics to keep on shooting.
