"But who cares? Victims may be piling up, but at least we are using their "correct" pronouns." Only PC can turn murder into a comedy skit.
Eric Utter "Five people were recently shot to death (and 18 others injured) inside Club Q, an LGBT nightclub in Colorado Springs. This prompted authorities to verify the names and the pronouns of the victims by working with their families, instead of merely relying on what the coroner's office provided them, a Colorado Springs city spokeswoman told the USA TODAY.
"During a November 21 news conference, Colorado Springs police chief Adrian Vasquez identified those fatally shot by stating their names — and their pronouns.
"Vasquez said, "We respect all of our community members, including our LGBTQ community. Therefore, we will be identifying the victims by how they identified themselves and how their families have loved and identified them."
"He continued: "Kelly Loving; pronouns are 'she/her;' Daniel Aston; pronouns are 'he/him;' Derrick Rump; pronouns are 'he/him;' Ashley Paugh; pronouns are 'she/her;' Raymond Green Vance; pronouns are 'he/him.'"
"It is ironic that all five identified as "cisgender," "Loving" and "Rump" included, while the shooter claimed to be non-binary.
"But the important thing — the key takeaway from this heinous act of violence and terror — is that, though all five may be dead, by God, the correct pronouns were used when referring to them! Right? I bet somewhere, even now, they are so proud! So proud!". . .
