solarbirdWELL HERE WE FUCKIN GO
The GOP are ALREADY moving to make ALL OF US illegal again. This is a national "don't say gay" bill, defining LGBT existence as "sexually-oriented."
It's the same shit they pulled in the 90s when they called our existence "gay propaganda." Just like in Russia, by the way.
This bill Rep. Mike Johnson (R-CA) is pushing is the same lie that they pushed in the 90s. "Gay propaganda" - still the Russian term! - was any non-condemnational mention of our existence. (It was okay to condemn us! Just not mention us neutrally or positively.)
And here we have Mike Johnson and the Republicans sliding the same sorts of bans on mentioning our existence into Federal bills now. "Sexually oriented material" throws "queers exist" right into the same pile as child porn.
THIS IS INTENTIONAL. IT WAS INTENTIONAL THEN, IT IS INTENTIONAL NOW.
THIS is what the GOP do with power, every chance they get. Give them power at your peril - and mine.
