In the age of Trump where there is a louder dog whistle that it’s Ok to attack us, why don’t more gay men learn self-defense? Why isn’t there a more organized effort to prepare to defend ourselves with lethal force if attacked in public? It makes me so angry when I read stories like this. If these yahoos thought we might fight back, they’d see us as less of an easy target. Even that gay bashing scene in IT 2 seemed like porn for gay bashers.
Why don’t more LGBT learn self-defense and arm themselves?

Because of anti-GAY bigots like you, OP.

R1 needs reading comprehension classes. OP is obviously gay as well since he says why are they killing US. Try again, troll.

You're the troll, OP/R2, for lumping a bunch of sick freaks in with gay people.

Seriously....
The LGBT Community Center in NYC was offering free self-defense classes for people in the early 90s (during the Queer Nation era). They were based on Eastern philosophies and techniques. I participated briefly. The classes weren't great, but they were a terrific idea and I imagined they would become a regular feature at the Center.
They didn't. They disappeared and I haven't heard about anything similar since. I don't really understand this.
BTW, I'm all about gay people defending ourselves... without use of firearms, thanks.

If only Patricia Wright, Charlotte Reed, and Benny Diambu-Wright had been armed to defend themselves against being murdered by a white man named David Warfield.
