@monkeyjuice7@Athol324@NHLBlackhawks@BhawkTommyHawk@BMO you seem very intent on not recognizing that politicians are actively trying to make the lives of queer americans (mainly trans americans) worse despite drafting and passing hundreds of bills. why is that?
@monkeyjuice7@Athol324@NHLBlackhawks@BhawkTommyHawk@BMO even despite that, pride is also about celebrating the fight for equal rights and ensuring we don't lose them again. gay marriage is barely a decade old and republicans are already trying to undo it (luckily to no avail this time). it's infinitely worse for trans people.
@monkeyjuice7@Athol324@NHLBlackhawks@BhawkTommyHawk@BMO we were struck from the civil rights protections meaning we can get fired/kicked out of our housing simply for being gay, something that has never and will never happen to a straight person for their sexuality.
@monkeyjuice7@Athol324@NHLBlackhawks@BhawkTommyHawk@BMO we certainly don’t have equal protections but yeah until very recently we’ve had somewhat equal rights (at least gay people, not trans people). you seem pretty upset go make a parade!
@monkeyjuice7@Athol324@NHLBlackhawks@BhawkTommyHawk@BMO it’s a celebration of the strides and accomplishments made in the fight for equal rights, not just in america but around the world also in countries where queer people have it worse than here too.
