The cost of hate
On Saturday, a man full of hatred who had been taught that drag shows were evil killed 5 people and injured 17 by shooting up the Club Q in Colorado Springs.
There is a lot wrong with this. But the fact that young people are taught to hate is one we need to take note of.
If you watch Fox News for a couple days, you are likely to see stories about drag shows or transgendered people that describe them as some kind of threat to our society. Words like "awful" and "despicable," and "disgusting" are used to describe them. I know this because I actually do watch Fox News (or listen to it on satellite radio). It's bizarre-- our nation faces serious challenges, but drag shows are not one of them.
Teaching hate is reprehensible. At some point, people need to wake up to that.
