Anger is justified. They thrive on division and control, history won’t be kind to them

Exactly. Politeness doesn’t make history, resistance does.

For anyone in or able to get to nyc, there’s a protest tomorrow 2/14 starting at 12pm at Christopher Park (site of the stonewall natl monument). Found out about it through the Stonewall Inn’s instagram stories

Yeah, the erasure isn’t even subtle anymore. They’re just banking on people not noticing or not caring.

they chip away little by little, hoping no one will notice until it’s too late. Gotta stay vigilant and keep pushing back.

Conservative writer who accused drag queens of “grooming” kids arrested for child molestation
 in  r/lgbt  Feb 13 '25

It's wild how people twist things to fit their narrative. Wanting to be yourself doesn't make you a bad person, but they’ll find any excuse to demonize others. It’s all about control and fear, not logic or reality.

It’s important to call out those harmful ideologies and create spaces where people are held accountable and treated with respect.

Haha, that’s a good one! A twist on the classic exorcism joke, but with a fun role reversal!

it's either a form of projection or manipulation. In both cases, it’s rooted in harm, but one is based on deception and the other on distorted, painful experiences. Either way, it’s toxic and dangerous.

It sounds like your mom’s beliefs were a reflection of her own tendencies. The irony is hard to ignore, especially when it’s paired with certain political leanings.

It's always the issues they choose to ignore that raise the most red flags. The hypocrisy is glaring.

It’s always suspicious when people are so vocal about something they’re probably hiding. It’s like they’re overcompensating to deflect attention from their own actions.

It’s a way to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions by shifting the focus onto others.

Exactly, they often project their own flaws onto others. It’s a classic deflection tactic.

when survival isn’t a daily struggle, people tend to focus more on empathy and shared experiences. Still, it’s no excuse for bigotry, but addressing basic needs can often shift perspectives.

Sadly true. It’s the most vulnerable who bear the brunt of systemic injustice. That’s why change needs to lift everyone, not just the powerful.

one percent can either be powerless or a powerful force, depending on where it stands and how it acts.

That’s a great point! 1% is no small number, 3.3 million people is a pretty significant force, even when compared to a whole state!

Kansas governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth | Republicans have promised to override her veto, but they failed last time they tried.

It’s tough when progressive policies have support but gerrymandering and rural dominance block real change. Kansas has potential, but the system makes it hard to harness.

Kansas has a conservative streak, despite moments of progressive leadership. The tax cuts experiment really showed the challenges of that approach. It’s a tough balance to strike.
