  • Who with any sense could respect this idea? "Oh no, those icky people are all going in there where I don't have to see them! That's somehow worse than the horrible, unbearable nightmare of having to see them in public!" People like that don't want us gone, they just want to torture us for fun. I have a reasonable amount of rule-breaking things to say about anyone like that.

    ... And of course it's not people actually from there. City council voted this in but these garbage want to counter it from the state level, because screwing with more-local governance from above is totes cool when they do it. Then of course they'll attack lower levels to counter anything insufficiently evil at a higher level, whatever it takes to get their way because evil must always get its way in this vile hell-world. (Not meant in any kind of religious sense, or whatever. Just... they're fuckin' evil)

    This shit's exhausting.

      Of course. They have decided that LGBT+ is a choice and that it means you're a pedophile and they're big on vengeance.

      • I think that's just an excuse. Where are the bodies of all' those religious-guys who are known for that? That keeps actually happening. I knew a guy in high school who was attacked by one and nobody cared. Others just get shifted around or ignored just the same; they're all doing fine even if they have to move away for a bit. Our bodies get left in the street. We get the hate because we're easy for them to torture, and when we die we're easy for them to laugh at. Then they just find someone else to torture or kill, because we can't leave. They won't let us, because they don't really want us gone. They're just feeding a deep-seated cruelty some of them probably don't even realize they have.

        I tried to find some sources but now I'm kinda sick. Turns out scrolling around looking at articles about people murdered for being like me can be bad for my mental state! Who knew!

        Edit to clarify some awkward wording. Still a lil weird but maybe less ambiguous, at least.
