Hate emails and threads are never OK. In their defense, what happened during the COVID-19 lock downs wasn't OK. How we treated each other was not ok. How we excluded and refused people just like that was not ok. And how the government could wield so much power was just scary to watch.

Rent off.

What are you referring to when you say "what happened during the COVID-19 lock downs wasn't OK."?

Mandating that people act safely during a global pandemic is definitely okay.
