“It is so sad to see. That you are threaten by someone who is living their life, because they are different than you. The fact that you don't understand them. It doesn't mean you should kill them. What have they done to you , That makes you think . They don't deserve to live. They are not the problem, but it is you having problems with them, because of your insecurities.”
