\"Galways
Galways West End during last years PRIDE festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In memory of and in solidarity with the victims of the PULSE nightclub shooting<\/a><\/strong> in Orlando. While its probably a lone wolf nutter, the way all can do their horrific deeds in the name of ISIS and then ISIS claim them as their own is much the way that Anonymous work, and this plays right into the hands of hatemongers like Trump, whose trumping of the “bathrooms issue” has heightened tensions in America, and could be as much behind this as any allegiance to Islam…<\/p>\n

We in Ireland last year legalised gay marriage<\/a><\/strong>, and its nice to see proper equality, and thanks to the gays for showing us what marraige is about<\/a><\/strong>, a lifelong commitment where possible of two people who love each other, something forgotton in this world where everything is disposable including relationships…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The rainbow of many colours red is stained
\nWith the blood of the massacred dead
\nHe who claims to love God – as with so many others –
\nTwisted the concept of what God said.<\/p>\n

Seventy years odd ago it was the Pink Triangle
\nOf the Swastika, to Germany and mankinds shame
\n– for the allies kept them jailed in the camps on liberation –
\nSo for global hatred have a portion of the blame.<\/p>\n

No more than all Catholics are responsible for the Inquisition
\nOr Protestants to blame for Cromell and his kind
\nAll Moslems of NOT to blame for the fanatic few
\nWho verses of hate in any holy book can find.<\/p>\n

Over the next few days beyond the horror
\nWe will remember the fallen, and in the coming years
\nLike all the others before and those to come
\nWe will wash the rainbow of blood with our tears…<\/p>\n
