Here's as important but debatable bit of reporting from local public radio which "reveals" that Kansas City's LGBT community is just as diverse as every other cross-section of town.
But first a bit of reaction from local denizens who sent the link our way.
One local LGBT leader says: "Horribly written story pieced together without a response from Missie B's or LIKE ME Lightouse on a holiday weekend."
Planned Vigil For Orlando Shooting Victims Shows Rift In Kansas City's LGBT Community
For avid readers of Kansas City news, this tidbit report is really just a rehash of a Guardian exposé on deeper issues controversy confronting the local LGBT community.
You decide . . .
there are "rifts" throughout Kansas City. we are divided metro area.
ReplyDeletebut it would be strange if we all agreed.
Queers and their freaking drama!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit. Stop everything. Are the gay Samoans represented enough? What about Trans Hmong? Asexual Cherokee are going to need a vote!!
ReplyDeleteCloset case conservative Trump supporters are the fastest growing contingent of the gay community.
ReplyDeleteFor always having dick in their mouths they sure find ways to complain
ReplyDeletegiggly Democrat "males" not playing well together.
ReplyDeletePeople seem to be bending over to service this special interest group. Such a shame.
ReplyDeleteSo much for these people's motto: "Never leave your buddy's behind."
ReplyDeleteThe victims weren't just LGBT's, they were Latino's.
ReplyDeleteHow can you truly have a 'vigil' without including them.
Being LGBT is all about Inclusion, or should be.
Naturally, a lot of man/childs needed to say something snarky, yet anonymously.
BTW, "he" deliberately did NOT shoot Blacks.
ReplyDeleteSo, it wasn't just about being 'gay', it was an attack against Latino's.
Diane Burkholder is a fucking dumb ass.
ReplyDeleteThat's one thing we can agree on there. Total novice whose group has insulted numerous long time civil rights leaders because they are people of faith, claimed people who won over segregation and other issues in the past 30-60 years as irrelevant. She says horrible things about her boss who has done remarkable work in lowering the AIDS numbers in the metro because he is white; matter of fact, they don't believe whites have anything to offer any of the civil rights fights no matter what they've done to show their commitment to equality. That's not how we have been getting things done around here, they've done more harm to our progress then they will ever understand but you can't tell them anything. That's why most local orgs won't deal with her any more.
DeleteI actually know Diane ,she is heavily involved with BLM ,and has a separate spinoff group for whites who support the BLM movement. Everything is race centric with her.
ReplyDeleteThe events were thrown together quickly,
The vigil at jc fountain was so that people could publicly mourn.
The lighthouses used theirs to promote violence against LGBTQ youth.
The B held an indoor/outdoor all day event , the purpose was to raise money for the victims.Over 37K was raised.
The BLM groups were incensed that thrir message doesn't resonate like Orlando

The BLM groups were incensed that their message doesn't resonate like the Orlando's .Recently in Columbia, MO a BLM speaker berated the crowd for not showing up at the BLM rallies in mass like Orlando rallies. The BLM speaker was shouted off stage.
How do tbe members of the LBGT Atheist Coalition feel about this issue. I hope they send out some unsolicited bulk email about it.
ReplyDeleteI guess I am the only one in Kansas City who could give a shit less about a heard of dancing, smootching, butt pounding, drunk ass Latino fags getting lit up in Orlando, but this fucking story is getting more fag media attention than the death of Princess Di.
ReplyDeleteYou don't get it Princess Di was white.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I forgot. White lives only matter when their tax dollars support some mooching minority.
ReplyDeleteNothing going on there that a crop-duster loaded with gasoline wouldn't fix.
