@princecharming
 
Im pretty sure his lover and his family cares. I dont agree with the life style but I do have a heart so I care because it could have been my son if I had one, my daughter, my child, my friend, my husband, my lover.

I think @princecharming 's point is that they had to point out that it was a man loosing his boyfriend.  I am sure there were many mothers who lost children or guys that lost girlfriends, but we are focusing on the "gay issue" instead of the bigger issue of loss, which is sad.  Everyone who died or was injured was a loss to someone, why are gay looses more important?  It's pushing an agenda which is upsetting. 4951

Seems like they were looking for a Houston connection, and found one. I didn't see it as pushing or not pushing an agenda this time. If it were a girl who lost her brother, it would have been presented the same way...a tie to Houston.
 
I admit, the media is great at pushing agendas, but this story is huge and they all are looking for that fresh new local connection that isn't over reported by every other station.
 
All of these loses are crushing and very real for someone. 4951

Doesnt matter. People died and people care regardless headlines. So he asked who cares and I said me because I do regardless they were living a life style i disagree with. And obviously media is gonna lean on that issue because that was the target...so its being reported that was the target. All we know is a lot of people died at the hands of a horrible man and I care. ❤.

In my opinion, the media would still all over this whether it was a gay or straight club. Of course we are going to be all over it like flies on ****....This incident happened in America regardless. American people's lives were lost. Remember the Muslim guy and girl who shot up LA months back? It'll fade out in time as with all major news stories. 
@allymansfield: Why are gay losses so important? You are f'ing ignorant and conceited for even thinking that lady. It's the G.D. news. Of course anything gay is going to be front page. @princecharming You need to **** and grow a pair. Have some respect for the families that lost their kids which bothered and wasted your time while you watched the NEWS! 4951

I care and all of these lost lives and injured people matter, but the media is seriously guilty of non-stop repetitive reporting from all channels with no new info. They seem to run the same thing on an endless loop until there are new details. They do it with every large-scale story, no matter what the subject matter.
 
The thing that just gutted me and broke my heart was the Mom crying saying her only child, her son, was in there and she couldn't reach him. I haven't been able to watch too much since I saw that and heard of the reports of all the cell phones non-stop ringing, still in the pockets of those who had died. 4951

Pulse was targeted because it was a gay nightclub. Other than the obvious "ISIS" link, it is a hate crime directed at a group of individual and It was premeditate. If this happened to lets say a nightclub that mostly had African American customers, the news would be emphasizing that as well. When they cover these events every minute of the day they are going to state the obvious over and over. The agenda was pushed by the killer not the media. This is just a sample of the violence the world is suffering on a daily bases that isn't covered by American media. Isis targets are a long list. Gays and Christians are at the top. 4951

I don't believe that any agenda is being pushed. A group of Amercians was targeted by a terrorist because their sexual orientation didn't fit his perverted religious viewpoint. These people had lives, and they left behind loved ones who want to put some humanity behind names/pictures that are being shown around the world. How dare anyone tell them that they are tired of hearing about details of their lives that are relevant to who they were...An attack on any group of Americans is an attack on all Americans. When we forget that, or minimize that, because we may not agree with lifestyle choices, then we are opening the door for more terror attacks. Next time it may be your "group" that the terrorists come for... 4951

@princecharming:
 
If you don't care, shut it off. But ****. Just shut up.
First this is America, they were Americans. I have many gay friends and am so sick of the un-united states. Lots of hate right here on our own soil.
A very sick individual did this in the name of another ugly group of people.
Funny thing is you have a right to choose your lifestyle. Get busy living yours and leave other's alone to live their lives.
All this hate is only creating more hate. Stumpy and his rhetoric and his racists remarks are making things worse. Those that follow him feel it's okay to spew hate and violence. Some of the things I hear out the mouth of babes I haven't heard spewed out of ignorant mouths since the 60's.
Either be kind or shut up.

@allymansfield:
 
I think there is a big push to make it a gay thing b/c it's just not the largest mass shooting but it is the largest hate crime 4951
