Yeah, some headlines (like in Reuters, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, or The Washington Post) just said "50 dead at nightclub in Orlando," but they either mentioned it was gay in the byline or in the first paragraph in the article. And then followed it up with two or three articles about how the shooter was homophobic, a few interviews with gay people, or a discussion of homophobia. I was at the gym this morning and saw only two topics on CNN the entire time I was on the elliptical: how Trump and Clinton are reacting to Orlando and people standing alongside homosexuals. I'm certain if it weren't an election year, they would've spent the entire time talking about the latter.

I'm uncertain why anyone would make those statements, particularly the one about "actual erasure." Have you even looked at the news? I proved them wrong with about three minutes of research, just glancing at headlines. Perhaps some people like to be perpetual victims? Or maybe their knowledge of the news is filtered through social media? I have no idea because reading this confused the shit out of me.
