To a Republican, a safe space for people who aren’t straight, white Christians is akin to a safe space for pedophiles/Satan/dark-skinned foreigners (all the same thing in their terms). The people they hate with everything in their being must not be allowed to peacefully exist. This is the very foundation of Republicanism/conservativism.
This comment needs to be put on top. I am not American but I did live there for a short time installing very big machinery, and I’m glad to be out of there.The Republicans who are doing this think a pride flag is equivalent to putting up a sign that says ‘kill kids’. Which you can’t do, free speech doesn’t cover overt threats to crime or violence.
That’s how far gone these people are, they have drank so much of the kool-aid they perceve every pride flag as an overt call to crime and violence. They perceve the existence of LGBTQ+ as an overt threat to crime or violence. At this point they’re too far gone to bring back. They’re so full of misinformation and vitriol that they only things they can feel anymore are fear, pride, and rage; it’s kind of of like Ingsoc in 1984 using those exact emotions to manipulate their people. It’s bad.
