At the end of the day, the human right of self-defense is orders of magnitude more important than the “right” of a gender appropriator to use the opposite sex’s bathroom. It’s pretty effed up that this is not the order of priorities on the Gay Left, but there it is. A Federal Judge in DC recently upheld the right of all people to avail themselves of the necessary means of self-defense; one of the plaintiffs was a gay dude.
The plaintiff, Matthew Grace, is a district gun owner and member of The Pink Pistols, a shooting group that “honors diversity and is open to all shooters regardless of sexual orientation,” with dozens of chapters nationwide.
“We teach queers to shoot. Then we teach others that we have done so,” their website states.
Armed queers don’t get bashed. We change the public perception of the sexual minorities, such that those who have in the past perceived them as safe targets for violence and hateful acts — beatings, assaults, rapes, murders — will realize that that now, a segment of the sexual minority population is now armed and effective with those arms. Those arms are also concealed, so they do not know which ones are safe to attack, and which are not…which they can harm as they have in the past, and which may draw a weapon and fight back.
By applying progressive argument logic, if you are opposed to gun rights, then you support the gay bashers.
Too bad the Pink Pistols aren’t held in the same esteem as GLAAD or Freedom To Marry; they are far more useful. Yet, I know far more GTBLQXYZ persons who wholeheartedly support the gun control philosophy of the American left. Many are the kind who think that even Bernie Sanders’ position on firearms (ie, okay for hunting) is too extreme. It’s quite sad, really. Learning to handle firearms would be far more useful than the endless softball, beach volleyball and gym attendance that occupy the recreational time of most sexual minorities.

Most gays don’t want guns because they hope the guy breaking into their window at 3am is looking for sex & they would rather identify as victims.
I still recall with amusement the local Gay Pride Parade, when the Pink Pistols tried to be in it.
At first, the organizers tried to bar the group from participating, but the group threatened a lawsuit, so, they said, okay, you can participate, as long as you leave your guns at home.
It was most amusing.
And yet, I was gratified by the appearance of the Pink Pistols in last year’s San Francisco Whatever Soothingly Correct Name They Are Now Calling It pride parade. I believe they were about the last or next-to-last entry, but in my view that’s even better, since only the organizers get to see the first entry in the parade.While I’m sure that carrying would have put them deep in the bowels of the city’s detention system longer than any illegal alien, there were no boos and even some muted applause.
That there were even people who would openly admit to having anything but contempt for firearms in the progressive utopia of San Francisco was encouraging in and of itself.
Trump has talked about reciprocity of carry permits. A Texas permit allowing you to open carry a 50cal handgun in NYC or DC.
