ACLU Lawyers Blame “Christian Right” for Orlando Terrorist Attack


Rather than examine the obvious role between Mateen’s affinity and affiliation with a jihadist organization like ISIS and his murderous anti-gay beliefs, members of the ACLU have decided to examine what they imagine to be parallels between the latter and the beliefs of conservative Christians. One lawyer, Chase Strangio, even went as far as insinuating that Christians were collectively responsible for the shooting:

“Chase Strangio, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s LGBT and AIDS Project, claimed the social and political environment cultivated by Christian conservatives in recent months was to blame for the shooting at Pulse, a nightclub popular with Orlando’s LGBT community.

Strangio also called for solidarity between American Muslims and LGBT communities, arguing both are maligned and oppressed by the religious right.

Federal law enforcement officials have identified Omar Mateen, of Port St. Lucie, Fla., as the alleged shooter. Mateen’s father told NBC news his son harbored anti-gay sentiments, and said his son gave voice to those feelings recently during a trip to Miami, where he saw two men kissing.”
