COMMENTS: Lessons From Newtown, Justice Scalia, Justin Bieber, And More

Time for the Queerty Week in Comments, with the most compelling, thought-provoking or just downright bitchy comments that came directly from you, the readers!

“If you want the LGBT community to help end systemic violence in this nation, then they need only to continue what they are doing: Fighting to end bullying and violence in schools, fighting hate and discrimination and trying to decrease political polarization.

We can eliminate the mechanisms used to achieve violence all we want, but we will never achieve that goal until we solve the underlying cultural issues. We live in a time were our leaders and politicians hate and bicker daily, where people are so diametrically and ideologically opposed to certain set of beliefs that we feel we must hate those with other view points. While our opposition is certainly more guilty of this than us, every person in this world seems to have become a little more cynical.

Until our society understands the key message that LGBT people have always fought for, that love is the most important thing, then we’ll never get fixed.”
