The problem is that while they may not be willing to hurt you, they can pass that intolerant sentiment onto someone who is, as Omar Fateen's father did to him.
The difference between him and me, is that my father's not an imbecile that came to this country, then ***** about nothing but all the negatives. My father choose to see and follows the plans the forefathers laid out for us. The freedom to follow one's own happiness.
Then again, my birthplace though is in ruin now thanks to politicians have a great source of history. We were the first in the Carribeans to win our independence, we were one of the first to defeat France under Napoleon's rule, we even helped this country fought for it's independence.

I wasn't comparing Fateen to you. I'm saying a racist could proselytize racism into a violent person, just as Fateen's father proselytize homophobia into him.
you know how they say a black baby and white baby will play together until their parents tell them it's wrong? Intolerance is learned.
And I'm sorry about the tragedies and injustices your country suffered
