      While I’m also outraged at every one of these book banning stories, remember that each one is one library in one state (except Florida, may their uneducated asses rot in the swamp of malicious ignorance) in a huge country

      yes, LGBTQ+ is a problem, indeed. not the fact to be gay but the lobbying stuff which is out of hands.

        What lobbying stuff? Are you under the impression that there’s a huge, powerful LGBT+ lobby influencing congress? Because that’s nonsense. The two biggest lobbying groups in Washington are the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Maybe focus on that instead of people who can’t help the way they’re born.

          Fucking USA is not the center of the world! Give us a break.

          Though LGBT+ on the workplace and media are pretty intrusive, yep.
