    A ton also passed. A growing number are working their way through the courts. The “tide” has already made millions refugees in their own country. There is a long way to go on this, I’m afraid.

      The most fucked up part about all of this, is it’s just like the civil rights movement, and none of these bigots who are writing and passing these laws seem to notice…or they do and still wish they could ban mixed race marriages even…

    Every moral panic dies in the end. Vegans will be the next target.

          How can you be so depraved, what about children? Did you think about them?

          You probably meant: No animal products, only babies!

                  Well same mechanisms work here as on reddit. If something has -1 points it will just start to accumulate more negative points because of the brain shortcuts and probability

                  That’s why I have them turned off to not influence my judgment if the comment is interesting or not while still benefitting from upvoting posts for visibility

                  The only con is that I don’t see my scores which is a double edged sword because some may upvote/downvote and move on instead of discussing but that is also true with scores.

                  I am only here for valuable discussion really. Getting validation from points stopped being fun a while ago. I could just stick to hacker news I guess and maybe I should

      They tried that a bit ago with Ted Cruz and the “taking our gas stoves and hamburgers” but it didn’t have much sticking power. It will come around in full strength eventually though.

        Republicans love their meat more than they hate transgender people.

        I would love to siphon republicans hate away towards something else. As vegans can fight back hard and will come out on top. Transgender people need to protected at all costs.

          MAPs are NOT and have never been part of the LGBTQI+ Community

          Thats like you putting on a lab-coat and strolling into an operating room, claiming to be there to do a surgery. To the confused look of everyone involved.

          Its deliberately dishonest and a repeated argument to discredit the movement. It should be common knowledge at this point, but the right-wing never bothered with the truth.

          Remember: Its always projection! The most pedo stuff is going on in the church and religious / conservative homes

              “If we allow the gays to marry, what will be next? Marrying their dogs?”

              Fuck off with your slippery slope bullshit. You have an incredible opportunity before you - making the world a better place by just shutting the fuck up. Most people have to invest a lot of time and effort to make things better. Not you! You can, right now, improve the state of the world by deciding not to say such stupid things again. I sincerely hope you take it!

              You’re not “just saying” you’re actively spreading anti-LGBTQ right-wing talking points.

              And no, pedophiles would never be accepted into the LGBTQ community because there’s no consent in that kind of relationship. The LGBTQ movement is about the freedom of adults to love and be in relationships with whomever they wish, not for adults to prey on children who cannot consent to such a relationship.

              Every single letter in that row, and any future letters will always be between 2 consenting entities.

              Children can not give consent, neither can animals. Both miss the cognitive functions to do so.

              QIA+ was always a part of the community. Only recently did people feel the need to explicitly give them their own letter. Pedophilia isn’t a sexual orientation nor a gender identity. And there are more straight pedos than there are queer ones, so go make your own straight pedo community.
