To answer your question correctly I need to make use of Jewish sources, primarily the Talmud. But you said you don't care about the opinion of the Torah, so what good will it do?
All I am asking is your view. If you want to base it on your religious beliefs that is fine but it is still your personal belief. This isn't that difficult of a question. Let me show you how easy it is. My belief is they do not deserve to die. Now your turn.  :)

Somehow these incidents lead everyone to show off their ignorance.
You should try and correct that ignorance so those that don't understand Judaism do not get the wrong impression.

Doesn't take an idiot to realize why God chose them as the targets.

It saddens me that there are <language redacted by mods>tards like you who feel this way and have no shame in posting such hatred in a public forum.

Dan, please close this thread. It’s insane how much lashon harah and insensitivity is being spewed, and I don’t think it’s fruitful at all.

Fair enough. My personal belief is that you aren't authentically religious, because if you were you wouldn't marginalize the view of the Torah. That said, I'm happy to respond. But to be clear, your question was whether or not homosexuals deserve to die. It was not about the story in Pittsburgh.

1) Sanhedrin is not in force today so a Bes Din may not put anyone to death, including murderers. So, no homosexuals may not be stoned in our times. 2) In the times of the Sanhedrin [and when Moshiach reinstates Sanhedrin], they stoned Homosexuals. It is a Biblical command: If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (Leviticus 20:13) 3) The Talmud states that while today we do not mete out corporal punishments, G-d does intervene. He sees to it that people get what they deserve. So do homosexuals deserve to die? Yes. Can we do anything about it today? No. Does G-d intervene? That Talmud says yes.

Specifically what lashon harah are you referring to?

Not stating an opinion, but just pointing out, that just because you believe that someone was being punished, that doesn't necessarily mean that you dislike that person or think that they sinned in a worse manner than someone else, or deserved it more than anyone else. However, even if you are from those who believe that, the tachlis is to take it as mussar to yourself, not just point out that the person did something wrong and therefore you don't have to learn from it.

In addition I would say that he was talking about whether they should be killed, ie, based on Torah law. You seemed to have been asking whether he believes they deserve to be killed, to which the answer would be that IF the Torah says they should, than they deserve it, although we may not understand why what they did was so terrible that it should deserve such a punishment

For one, the implication that the baalei simcha engaged in homosexual relations. We have no idea. Among others, but I really don’t think this conversation is helpful in any regard.

I’m happy that many major rabbonin and orthodox organizations have made inclusive as opposed to divisive statements so far.

OK, now things make more sense. But considering that you go by Chaim Moskowitz, which is as Jewish as it gets, I wouldn't have figured.
