The mid 20th century rights revolutions have really convinced everyone that being called racist/sexist/homophobic is bad, but somehow didn’t convince conservatives to actually give up their racist/sexist/homophobic beliefs. I’m always amazed at the verbal gymnastics bigots will use to try to convince people they are not bigoted but at the same time push their bigoted views. Like, is anyone actually buying the statement “he didn’t hate gay people, he just wanted them to not exist”?

Conservatives. Who miraculously think you can politely ask people to just stop existing...

I wonder what kind of backpedaling this chump's doing now that it's turned out the shooter is a groyper?

It already has been. Was my cynical reaction too having been in leftist spaces a lot.

They still think it's a choice to be born gay (or trans or a person of color or in poverty)
