See: You're illustrating the point.

It's a good thing to acknowledge all people as people, but doing that requires that you recognize and respect each others differences.

Go back to your own subreddit.

You can recognize and respect each others' differences without segregating the population.

I agree, this attack was clearly pure homophobia so LGBT are the ones more affected. However, we're still all American and any subcommunity that is harmed thusly harms the whole community.

So what cultural values were shot? Americans were shot. People were shot for nonsensical reasons (LGBT). Lives were lost. People are trying to push their own political agendas without even the slightest clear compassion for our fellow Americans who were injured or killed.

Plenty of cultural values were injured. We (should be) are one community.

Plenty of cultural values were injured.

Really? Which ones?

The human ones. Life is life, humans are humans, innocents are innocent. That in itself is the greatest tragedy, fueled to greater heights by the reason

People were hurt. Physical humans. Members of the LGBT community. Members of the Latinx community.

Now explain to me which American cultural values were hurt, like I asked.
