12. LGBTQ people have been harassed and much worse, so why do these people think this is a good way to treat others?

Harassing in this way is not productive and it's pretty damn frightening to watch.

Does this level of hatred/anger ever get directed towards Republicans?

I also find it pretty amazing that no one there came to help.
