Even if it was true (it's not, the right wing seems heavily obsessed with lgbtiq people) why the f**k should we care? Lol
I have some trans and many gay friends. It doesn't even get mentioned. They're just people lol. I believe people living on the street or are terminally ill probably have bigger priorities than peoples sexual orientation and preferences
I'm fairly sure kids getting shot at school regularly might be a bit of a bigger issue to most
It's pretty telling that regressives think accusing someone of being humane to be some kind of mic drop moment...
Republicans need something to talk about.
Without a collective target to hate, they start hating each other.
Evil feeds upon itself, just look how hard they are transvestigating their own now.
I guess. I have plenty of single gay and trans friends if they're interested though (they seem to be, and that's ok because my mates are legends).. Strangely enough, they don't seem to discuss this stuff at all unlike the right wing.
