OWEN JONES: People rationalize their hatred. This guy, apparently, according to his dad, saw two men kissing, and he was repulsed by it. And people know this who are gay, there are people out there who are sickened and repulsed by our very existence. And this guy, however he dresses up his bigotry and hatred, is somebody who hates gays. He hates LGBT people. And he had a gun, and because of, as you say, America's gun laws, he used that to murder LGBT people. But can we just be clear just so -- because you say it's lunatics and all the rest of it. We've got to be clear. If we went into a synagogue and killed innocent Jewish people, as we've got mass -- people in the past who have done that. Disgusting anti-Semitic terrorists, we’ve called out for what it is. This person is a homophobic terrorist, whatever else he is. Presumably he's got some twisted view of Islamic fundamentalism to justify his -- even though he's just a knuckle-dragging thug and bigot. At the end of the day, this was a homophobic hate crime, as well as terrorism. It has to be called up because I have to say on Sky News and other -- lots of news outlets, there's not been many LGBT voices that I've personally heard myself. And people have to understand is LGBT people watching this and elsewhere that they look at something like this and it is one of the worst atrocities committed against LGBT people in the Western world for generations and it has to be called out as this.
