It just goes to show that "saving the children" has always been a stepping stone to a total ban. Just as attacking attacking the trans community is a stepping stone to attacking the entire lgbt community. These bastards will never stop till there are only straight white Christians left, and then I'm sure they'll start going after anyone "not christian, or not white" enough. Fascism never stops its march to trample the other, because without someone to persecute they have nothing. These attacks on lgbt people and other minorities will never end until we stamp out fascism like we did in 1945.

And remember that they're also pushing harsh restrictions on access to "harmful" or sexual content on the internet to "protect the children".

Don't think for one second it stops at ID verification for porn sites. These are the same people who routinely attempt to correlate LGBT primarily to sexual activity, i.e. "sexual content".

Very true, just look at the Oklahoma state rep that put forward a bill to make viewing or creating porn a felony, along with sexting outside of marriage.

not Christian or white enough.

They won't stop even if only white Christian left. During the late 19th and early 20th century, white Christian Irish and Italians were the immigrants who were being attacked.

People who outwardly look different are the easiest targets, but they will 100% go after each other sooner or later.

It's about saving their total control over children

Their fixation on other people's genitalia is simply mind-boggling...

its culture war crap built to simply rile up their base and fear monger to continue to strip rights away

At first they came for the transgender community, and everyone knew the rest of the poem and said fuck that shit.

Well yeah. We (trans people) have known it for years. And I’m sick and tired of my state being this comfortable with it

Trans healthcare saved my life. It saved it in Ohio. And if it was taken from me then I don’t really think I’d have much to lose.

These people want to take away the right to bodily autonomy. Whether that’s abortion, trans healthcare, or whatever else. They believe they have the right to decide what you do with your body and they will make you suffer if they get their way and they disagree with you on your body.

these stupid, useless assholes have nothing else to live for

This is so fucked up. Can't find news coverage about it either, which is also fucked up.

[–] FireTower 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I couldn't either. My first thought was maybe this is akin the AI Biden situation, but it seems to be very recent news so maybe they just haven't had time to cover it yet.

That's true. Also, Friday nights are not ideal for breaking news to spread, so that too. Twitter Spaces auto-posted the video at 5:51 PM EST last night and Erin Reed uploaded it to YouTube just five hours ago, so this story never stood a chance for mainstream coverage. Ugh.
