Back in the day, before LG or LGB or LGBT, Q covered it all. I'd read some were pushing to revive Q and wondered if it was an attempt to promote unity and discourage infighting. Didn't know it had been tacked onto the banner though. I figured Q was as clear as mud, but it covers the ground, without requiring anyone to reveal personal preferences. But I was told it generalized, grouped people together that didn't want to be, so I guess it's a double edged sword.
I really don't want to be an asshole but when people like Libby barge in and tell me what I must do and must say, they can just fuck right off. Sure would be nice if nobody felt the need to hang their identity on a letter, and move that letter to just a footnote. Instead of being a Whitewall Car, just a Car that happens to have whitewalls.

Is the motive bigotry?

I think this line's mostly filler.

Of course.
And sure, one can always have a purely logical "only the Shadow knows what lurks in the hearts of men" argument, or quibble with the wording, that "the motive" implies "the only motive" and there were surely other contributing factors, but that doesn't negate the bigotry, it only affects its flavor.

No, I think there's a reasonable chance he was, which would cause the bigotry to fuel self-hatred and misplaced anger.

Here the Q is usually taken to mean Questioning

Straight. Not straight.
That is really how I define sexuality in my own mind simply because there are a lot of straight people with weird (to me) ideas about their sexuality, and there are a lot of not straight people with weird (to me) ideas about their sexuality. Maybe it should just be sexual or not sexual? I know I'm totally un PC by saying this, but really, can't people just be who they are without having to be defined by a letter or word? Anyway, this piece of shit from Orlando was nothing but a biggotted shithole who should never have had access to that kind of weapon. The sooner you lot sort your shit out the better for all of you. Or just hurry up and kill yourselves off so the Aussies can run the world instead, but with better leaders. Maybe like me. Oh, we have a redneck idiot running for a seat in the Senate this coming federal election. Her name is Pauline Hanson. Her and Trump would get along famously. She's almost as dumb as he is.

An idiot politician!? Say it ain't so!
You Aussies can have the planet, running the world turns out to be harder than we were told.
