ISIS has made its contempt for LGBTQ people known. (Don’t worry, guys, the feeling is mutual.) Shortly after the tragedy in Orlando, the terrorist organization claimed credit for the attack and vowed that this was only just the beginning.
Well, a hacktivist from the group Anonymous wasn’t having any of their B.S. So he (or perhaps she) decided to hit ISIS members where it hurts… by breaking into their Twitter accounts and posting rainbow flags and pro-LGBTQ messages.
Oh, and some good, old-fashioned softcore gay porn.
Men rolling around in bed with other men. Passionately kissing. Expressing their love for one another. That sorta thing.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I did it for the lives lost in Orlando,” the hacker tells Newsweek. “Daesh [ISIS] have been spreading and praising the attack, so I thought I would defend those that were lost. The taking of innocent lives will not be tolerated.”
The tweets said things like “I’m gay and proud” and “Out and proud” and included links to gay porn sites. The hacker says he didn’t use any hardcore porn images, however, out of respect to Islam.
“One thing I do want to say is we aren’t using graphic porn and our purpose is not to offend Muslims,” he says. “Our actions are directed at Jihadist extremists. Many of our own [group of hackers] are Muslim and we respect all religions that do not take innocent lives.”

Ooooh, that’ll show them. They murder our people, so let’s put rainbow flags and dudes kissing on their Twitter profile. They’ll delete the account and get a new one — but, not before getting some of those pics for “later.” Our purpose is not to offend Muslims… FUCK OFFENDING PEOPLE. Our very existence and the fact that we have the right to be gay in a free society is offensive to some of the orthodox Muslims. The images and media used is viewed as offensive to orthodox Muslims, a lot of them very anti-gay (but not violent).
The hell is the point in muting an “offensive cyber attack” when the very purpose is to rattle them? I’m over this “Love wins over hate” BS… it doesn’t win because the “love” only comes when shit like this happens. And once it dies down, we’ll be on to the next catastrophic shooting and we’ll be tweeting for more gun control that will never happen because the people in Congress that keep getting elected are sitting on their asses and dragging their amoral feet… their pockets are lined. To hell with the thousands of lives lost needlessly to reckless abandon with assault rifles.
Sorry… this is just dumb.

Wait why does twitter let isis have an account in the first place?

Excellent! I am sure ISIS has their share of closet queens, they just don’t publicize it. After all, we are everywhere! :>)

“I don’t want to offend muslim people specifically, but I have no problem using “gay” as an insulting label. Hahaha, look how gay and faggy their site is now! Oh don’t get the wrong idea, I’m super liberal and completely -tolerate- gay people invading the periphery of my vision, just as long as they aren’t offending muslims”
I don’t expect much from a group of self-obsessed network technicians that label themselves hackers and heroes but haven’t done much more than invade people’s privacy. Have you done ANYTHING constructive? At all? Anything?
Morons. Someone give them some parental attention or hire them a hooker or something.
Marky
Technically they are terrorists themselves. Just like PETA.
A little hypocritical. Do you hurl blood at people too?

This is about as bright as taunting a pack of stray rottweilers.

You know maybe a better way would be to show what hypocrites they are. Take the time to post scripture or their atrocities against other Muslims.
Stache
Of coarse that would take actual work.

ISIS will probably be using anti-gay massacres as a recruitment device now to appeal to it’s homophobic followers that are on the fence.

@CurlyMop:
If you haven’t noticed, Twitter, Google, Reddit all have a liberal political agendas.
Twitter has suspended the accounts of conservatives Jim Hoft and gay writer and speaker Milo Yiannopoulos because they have spoken out against radical Islam. ISIS having Twitter, not a problem.
Reddit was banning anyone who mentioned that Omar Mateen was Muslim despite the fact that this was widely being reported by the media.
Wake up gays, the Democratic left has made a choice and it is not you.
They have chosen Islam.

@Alistair Wiseman:
Dude, social policy is not enough to brand anything as a “liberal agenda.” Liberals aren’t the only group of people that are concerned with human rights. History has a liberal bias, not the political ideology, but the term itself.
Also, what are you talking about? Democracy exists, but Reddit, YouTube or any other platform has all the right to censor what you say. If you don’t like it, make your own website. You’re free to say all the dumb shit you want, but you simply can’t control how people are going to react.
And what are you on about Islam? Take off your tin foil hat, dude.
Alistair Wiseman
Speaking of tin foil hats, what are you talking about?
Liberals are practicing censorship and purposely restricting news information and the free and open debate of different points of view. To a typical liberal like you, no problem as they should just “make your own website”.
Reason #1,623 of why I am no longer a Democrat.

I would have put in hard core porn and videos of people fucking donkeys for all I care. ISIS are not Muslims, they are crazy-ass terrorists who throw gay men off of buildings. And we’re supposed to be concerned about their sensitivities??? And Alistair Wiseman, darling? Yes, dear. Now be a good boy, go take your medications, and you will feel better.

@Karlis:
Yes, I see you didn’t have the intellectual prowess to actually engage me in debate and resorted to the typical, empty ad hominem liberal attacks. Nice job

@CurlyMop: too right these people are terrorists & cold bloody murderers we should all protest to Twitter I do not have aa account.

Some Queerty readers are profiting from gun violence, and don’t even realize it:
“If you have a 401(k) plan with Vanguard Group, in all likelihood you own gun stocks — and you’ve done well off it.”

Yeah, WAY TO GO there. Let’s just keep ‘Poking the Bear’ and expect nothing to happen. Oh wait, it already has, and will likely only get worse. Might as well be screaming “Hey – Over here!”
