This past weekend June 10-12, 2016, was a convergence of peculiar coincidences in my opinion.

On Friday, June 10th, Christina Grimmie, a rising star was shot dead while signing autographs in Orlando, Florida.  Also, on Friday, June 10th, the Muslim holy day of prayer, Muhammad Ali was laid to rest in Kentucky. Muhammad Ali passed away the previous Friday, June 3rd.  Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of prayer and fasting began on Sunday, June 5, 2016.

Coincidentally, June is also Gay Pride month, and this past week the Whitehouse kicked it off with a Celebration for LGBTs.

   

On Saturday night (June 11-12, 2016) actually it was early Sunday morning (@ 2:00 AM) when a purported devout Muslim Security Guard, Omar Mateen went on a deadly rampage in a Gay Night Club (named Pulse) in Orlando, Florida. At approximately, 5:00 AM, Omar Mateen was killed after the police busted through a wall of a BATHROOM with an armored paramilitary vehicle, where THE shooter had barricaded himself with hostages he had taken from the Night Club.

   

Next month, on Sunday, July 17, 2016 an Ecumenical Interreligious Rally is scheduled to take place at the National Mall (before the Washington Monument OBELISK) in Washington, D.C.
This  event has been organized by an organization called The Pulse.

  

Arsenio.

  

P.S.

 

• Bathrooms have become a point of contention during the past few months; Proponents of LGBT rights want to open access of WOMEN's Bathrooms and Locker Rooms to LGBT and Transgender or Gender Fluid people.

• The Gay Pride movement began at the STONEWALL, a Gay Bar in New York City, where a violent confrontation occured between civil authorities and Gay Bar patrons.
