    Their sexuality matters only to those who wish to harm them. So maybe - but to me, it's decisive. Maybe it's good to warn folks to change behaviour - or carry at least a small means of self-protection.

    Only in this case. Your statement presents a false security to others. Lets pick some OTHER attribute? Maybe "They were not muslims"? "They were male?" I dunno. Pick something

    Focusing on their sexual or dance or dress habits seems to diminish their existence as people first, americans second, and whatever habits they have - probably should be farther down the list.
