I mean... They're specifically taking away rights from gay people. Stealing their families. Demonizing us.

It has NOTHING to do with the children and it never has been. Children are used as an excuse to attack us. To demonize us. To make us out to be monsters that need to be exterminated.

Ive seen this my entire life and its never going to stop. People just want us dead.

Across the world, the right wing authoritarian cry of "For the children!" has never, once, been anything but a Trojan horse to pursue injurious laws against people the authoritarians decry as "undesirable"
