The Spin
Narrative A
Sunday's shooting is a tragedy at a time when New York should be celebrating its LGBTQ+ community and the city's diversity. New York authorities, however, will work rapidly and relentlessly to apprehend the suspects involved to safeguard the public and investigate the reasons behind this devastating crime.
Narrative B
In light of the shooting that took place on Sunday, there must be an acknowledgment of the violent rhetoric that is fuelling bigotry and hate crimes across America. For LGBTQ+ people to feel safe in the U.S. again, those responsible for creating this toxic climate must answer for their actions.
