i only brand the truly ridiculous cases as SJW, like cultural appropriation stuff and storming out on speakers who discuss rape.
Overall, yes. We're all in the same 2nd class citizen pleb boat.

Don't let others intimidate you. You're a strong, amazing person and you can't be defined by others views towards you. <3

It's Pride this week in NOLA and I was lowkey excited to maybe do a Pride thing for the first time. But, now I'm just so scared and anxious. I don't even know how I'm going to go out. I'm a brown gay male and I've been singled out and pulled into fights before. This is just taking my anxiety to the next level and I'm feeling so lost and like my anxiety will spiral out of control

It has made me absolutely sick to my stomach all day. I'm scared for myself and others. I'm sad for the victims and their families. I'm angry that things like this continue to happen. But most importantly, I'm tired; I'm so tired of nothing ever changing.

This has also made me sick to my stomach, both the passing of Christina Grimmie, and the 50 people who lost their lives today in the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting, all due to a senseless, vile, human being easily having access to a gun. I live in the US, and I am so damn ashamed that things like this keep happening over and over and over again, and NOTHING getting done about guns/gun control. I feel like it's always brushed off and that "oh, it won't happen" again, but it does, CONSTANTLY. It's scary that we live in a world like this, where a simple fun time, getting away from the worries in life, to go have fun somewhere, can turn into such a tragic ending.

I'm scared because I'm latino and gay and I was at a club while that was happening. It could've been me or my friends and it's just tears me apart to think just what was going on through their minds as that was happening. I can't even begin to imagine having the a great time drinking with friends and then the next second praying for your life. Idk I've been robbed at gunpoint at an early age and guns terrify me so this whole weekend has taken my anxiety to new places. I havent been able to stop crying over the innocent lives lost this weekend.

I'm not in America, but if I was i'd actually be a bit too scared to even go to public areas....I don't like how youre gun laws are so easy...I remember when I was in hawaii i had this taxi driver that had his wife and daughter shot in front of him  its so sad.

I think no other news have affected me so much, I've seen pictures here and cried, watched the tv and cried. It has been a difficult day. I feel like it was always a fear of mine to hear about a mass gay massacre, sometimes I think about what happened centuries ago in history, when people used to kill gays every day like nothing. Seeing this happening today it's horrible.
I've also felt very upset about people not talking about this as mush as the Paris shooting, Sandy Hook shooting, Boston bombings, etc. I know it's not correct to compare but I just can't help to feel that this happens purely because they were gay, and I can't help but feel like we're still been treated like a lesser kind of human beings. I just don't feel we're getting the proper anti-homophobia messages, this is basically the perfect opportunity to stand up for gay rights, but it has turned into an anti gun debate like any other shooting, truth is, this guy hated gays, and many people still do, if we don't suffer from a mass killing spree, we suffer everyday when we hear offensive comments from homophobic individuals.

Guys, I'm so anxious. Can't sleep at all.. Keep thinking about the victims and how much life they had ahead of them. Almost feel guilty that they had to suffer

I've been thinking about this all day.
And every single time I get to forget this happened for a few minutes,
I feel so guilty every time it comes back to my mind.
It's so unfair how I get to forget, even if it's for 60 seconds, while there's families out there
who are going through hell right now. It's so unfair how I get to lay in my bed and try to sleep
while others are in the hospital after witnessing their loved ones die.
It's so unfair how I get to carry on with my life, my goals, my dreams but those 50 persons
didn't have the chance just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, because of one horrible person.
I'm so sad and I'm so scared of what's next because this feels tooreal.
At least I get to post all this here because and feel like I'm being understood and
not just "doing too much" or "being annoying" unlike any other place.
