So how do we handle the (Possible) FRC Fallout

Now that we know the FRC shooter was a volunteer at a LGBT center, the haters could have a field day throwing this all in our faces.

However, we can be ready for whatever they slam at us. They will say that it's a hate crime, or the gays have always been violent and unruly. But instead of going all hateful or staging Kiss-Ins at the FRC's HQ, we could take a few other routes.

• Denounce the shooter's actions, make sure folks know that we don't support violence or murder.
• Don't get into the petty name calling. Let the haters do what they do best... Be haters.
• Be sure we recognize the tragedy. Someone was shot; we should address that issue and send our condolences.
• Question NOM and the other hate groups on their own tactics. Make them voice why they took the negative, divisive role on the incident. Make them explain why they have made this a political fight.
•  Stay on message. Activists easily get mad, but slowly get on point. Whatever they throw at us, we have to stay on point. Focus on the issues at hand: This ain't a LGBT attack, we don't condone violence and we will not stoop to petty tactics.

 Okay, that's all I got! Please share if you have anything.
