      Yeah. And me being an employee having slurs thrown at me by a random customer isn’t going to make me turtle into a pathetic shell like you are. I would and have stand up for my beliefs no matter the platform or location.

          Walking anywhere with a flag/slogan that promotes genocide.

          I’m queer, married to a trans person. If you walked into my store with a shirt that said “Kill Trans People” I’d call your ass out too. No one is wearing a Star of David scarf in the middle of summer in Pennsylvania without trying to instigate some kind of political agenda. Intolerance should be made uncomfortable. Intolerance should never be tolerated. And the fact you’re defending people actively sowing hate in America makes you just as shitty a person.

          Just as I’d punch someone drawing a swastika on something, painting over a rainbow crosswalk, or in the case of this thread promoting a genocide… Fuck that person and also fuck you for defending hate.
