Reveling on someone's death no matter how despicable isn't healthy in any way shape or form.

You can choose silence instead of spewing negativity.

He spent his life making it as difficult as possible to be LGBT in this country. He repeatedly spat hatred and vile remarks towards me and my community. I have no remorse in reveling in his passing.

Sir this is Pat Robertson we're talking about. Of course people who's lives have been impacted by his hate are going to be happy

Being happy is one thing, but hating on a dead person is something else. Also It's one thing to say "I'm glad his negativity isn't around" versus cussing him out and saying cynical negative things. There's a balance here.

This is my opinion and my experience that hating on the dead isn't a good feeling for the one saying it and others reading it. These people claim to be morally better? Come on

This is the exact opposite of what to do when someone who has hurt so many dies.
