For starters the not-so-subtle homophobia of people who use terms like 'degeneracy' to refer to the LGBTQ community. This ain't the 40's. That euphemism is beyond dead. Some of y'all need to update your vocab. But while we're on the topic, housing and employment discrimination in the US is still going on. Strong government backed policies (or even amendments) outlawing discrimination is needed. It needs to be federal, 'state's rights' isn't just a dogwhistle for homophobic and racist legislation happening in some of these states, it's also the tool they use to defend policies like the 'religious freedom' laws passing around the south which are broadly worded to allow private institutions to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community. Gay liberation isn't just about legal protection, but a push to expose the attitudes and dismantle the social conditions that prop up societal inequality. --- Ignorance is a choice https://imgtc.com/i/7UnK3hx.jpg ...
