These acts - heinous and daunting as they are - are still outliers. Most of this society cares for the dignity, and individual worth of LGBT person.
I really don't know how to understand what has just happened though. Really don't.

From spending most of my life hanging out with gay friends I can say while this level of violence is an outlier low level homophobia isn't, it's a constant threat if you are a gay male or female, the threat comes from never knowing when the prick that calls you a *** will then take a swing at you, but if your openly gay you will be called a *** fairly regularly.
