All people are created equal.

Equality subject to change without notice.

All people are created equal, but some are more equal than others.

They had slaves when they wrote that. Terms and conditions always applied.

My work photo is my brother-in-law and I posing in tuxes at his and my sister’s wedding

Objectively, I look super gay in the photo

I haven’t changed it because I’m waiting for the homophobe to yell at the straight guy for his gay-looking photo

Oh I’m sure it’ll be soon. That’s an excellent cover to essentially abuse workers.

Oh, no! It’s not just harassment!

You can destroy someone’s life and livelihood because you think they’re gay!

Getting fired from a job at a time when the federal gov is actively cutting social supports, and intentionally driving the economy to ruin when most U.S. citizens have meager savings (if any), and are dependent on employer provided health care is an instant path to free fall for most people! Unless those peasants have family that is willing and able to support them, or a high demand skill that will overlook a recent firing (an automatic D/Q on most HR systems), they are going to lose their ability to feed themselves, pay for their housing, and their transportation in this car-poisoned society.

It’s not merely a little ‘fuck you’ but you can end their relationships, destroy their health, prevent them from working in their chosen field, and make them die on the streets! Even barring the most extreme outcomes, the health and financial implications from the stress or loss of income can permanently adjust the trajectory of their life (and the life of everyone that is close to or dependent on them) downward.

Exciting times for soulless bigots!

You have to wonder what this guy gets up to in private. Has anyone checked Grindr in his area?

Take care of yourself. None of this is normal and thus you’re going to need more self care than normal. You are making a difference even just sharing the way this makes you feel. We’re all in this together and I can see you know that too.

Have you ever seen a chicken hatch? It’s a messy and destructive process. Before that first peck, the chick inside the egg is all but invulnerable. As soon as it makes that first crack though, all bets are off. The shell can cut the chick killing it, it can drown in the remaining embryonic fluid in the egg if it can’t get out in time, and it is immediately set upon by hordes of bacteria and viruses that couldn’t get to it. However, as long as everything goes somewhat normally, 5 minutes late you have a cute fluffy chick.

Humanity takes a bit longer to develop societally because so many bad habits have inertia. Your generation kept the ball rolling, and specifically set up the necessary destruction needed to get society to the point that you were at 55 years ago. The process started in the mid 1800s, and should finish, in the next couple to few decades, with either all of us dead, or whoever’s left uniting under a single banner of equality and prosperity for all.

I feel exactly the same way as you. I didn’t have any plans to leave my country up until a year or two ago. While I’m glad I did leave, I’m also so extremely angry and upset at the failure of a country that caused me to leave. It also makes me sick to my stomach to think about what’s going to happen to the people I love

I really dont get how you could be anything less than humiliated to take pride in, and belittle others, over something you have absolutely no part in.

While this 2008 bit is about Nationalism, the point is the same.

They should feel afraid instead. We’ve been slacking

Yeah like would not this mean that we couldst nowen discriminate against cishet people?

Most welcome tidings, twere it not for the inverse of such.

They would wholeheartedly agree with you because they can buy their way out of discrimination and we can’t.
