Thinking of Orlando

Terrible news from Florida yesterday. Hate and guns. I've got no time for either.

But, as Owen Jones says, love and laughter will prevail http://gu.com/p/4yxab?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other


Today's song is about another horrific homophobic killing in the USA. It's 'Laramie' by the magnificent Amy Ray and it's about the murder of 21 year old Matthew Shepard in Wyoming in 1998. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvtbmxbGaJc

Homophobia is not the preserve of any religion or section of society. It still exists everywhere. It still hurts and it still kills.

As Amy Ray sings, "Tolerance, it ain't acceptance... Hey all you jokers, hunting season's over!"
