What is it with these people like Russia and Florida who think if you ban something it simply won’t exist? Gay people have been around ever since there were people. Just because you pass a law doesn’t mean they’ll vanish.
Such laws make it easier to hurt the target of their hatred. They can actively try to make groups of people not exist.
But the fact is they’ve always existed and will always exist. Their hatred is moot, but they’re too stupid to realize it.
They want to kill all of them. And then keep doing so every time new ones come out.
Absolutely. They represent the worst parts of human nature.

It’s about destroying those who express themselves in ways that authoritarians feel threatened by, and in doing so intimidating others into falling in line.
florida doesnt have a history of exiling millions of people to gulags…
And we should loudly continue to compare them to those with those histories due to similarity of behavior until they change their behavior so that they will never have the chance to quietly add a similar history to their own books.
If we don’t want a “gulags of Florida” chapter written in history, it’s appropriate to call the behavior that would lead to one out
. . . yet
Remind me what happened to the indigenous peoples of Florida?
But it does have a history of “Don’t Say Gay”
And there are lots of people who think Russia is Socialist…
not that it is, but even if it was, what does socialism have to do with this?
General left of center demonization. This person is lamenting the pattern that will likely continue that consists of things less left than communism (in this case, socialism) being treated as equally “scary” or “nefarious” as communism, in the McCarthy era Red Scare definitions of scary/nefarious (unless I’m misreading, but that seems to be what’s happening here)
i read it as suggesting that in socialism there would be no discrimination of lgbt people
Oh i get what you’re pointing out now, yeah, it is kinda weird to just assume all leftists are pro-lgbtqia.
It seems like every combination of person, no matter how seemingly contradictory vibes-wise, exists in some form or another lol
Like it’s weird, I am doing the same lumping pattern that I know I shouldn’t be in the same breath as acknowledging that it’s weird to do that pattern lol cognitive dissonance is weird when you notice it…
I’m talking here in general… If you watch the socialist governments, they support the LGBTQ community, whereas the right governments, because they’re religious don’t support the LGBTQ. So, all the socialist governments like Mexico’s, Cuba, Chile, Venezuela, etc are in cahoots with Russia and they say because Russia is Socialist.
I’m pretty sure it’s just the brainwashed tankies calling Russia socialist, and even then it’s usually more of a “They aren’t socialist anymore but they’re anti America and therefore good” sort of thing.
I’ve never seen a government with a communist party refer to Russia as socialist.
I mean it was prevailing communist theory in Stalin’s era that being queer was “bourgeois degeneracy”
Meanwhile Lenin decriminalized it. Castro did both.
If by “did both” you mean for 20 years sent queer people to reeducation camps before ultimately decriminalizing it when Mariela Castro was 17, sure.
Are you the original Potato in my Anus from the Reddit days of yore?
Nahh… I’m not the one from Reddit
Expect the Freedom Caucus to follow suit in roughly two weeks
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to know that the Russia Caucus is going to follow Russia’s lead.
Hexbear will almost certainly ignore this.
Russia should be banned for being extremist.
