And I say this having lost 2 high school classmates that day, as well as having had my son in the air when all flights were grounded.

As far as public funds go, I stated I'm undecided. Either way I don't think it's a big issue. As far as Pulse goes, I didn't see anyone post that the clientele was gay, maybe I missed that, or maybe somebody jumps to conclusions.
Just like the media and certain segments of the population jumped to conclusions calling it a "hate crime" targeting gays. The shooter didn't even know it was a gay bar. Shortly before the incident, he googled "crowded bars near me".
