I'm so sick of these lying, perverted assholes. This isn't "their opinion", this is stochastic terrorism deliberately meant to put LGBT people in physical danger by associating them with pedophilia. It's the exact kind of hatred the Nazis fomented against Jewish people. They know it's not true, lying is a means to an end.

These people are genuine extremists who have to be stopped. It infuriates me that so many people still try to play the "both sides" bullshit. Democrats aren't openly talking about eliminating entire groups of people, like Mark Rubio did.

I'm so fucking tired of this culture war bullshit. This is what my tax dollars are getting wasted on? No. I don't approve of that. There should be a way for me to say "If you're gonna keep wasting my money with this farce, I'm out. No more money for you."

I think the real life version of this is moving away

Wait, what? Target barely even had a Pride campaign this year. They started rolling it out early, then backpedaled so fast and so far that there was basically nothing in June. Certainly nothing that classified as “sexual” to a sane human being. Also, if they’re still claiming there was anything actually trans-body-friendly in children’s sizes, that is pure fiction. As a trans, queer person, I would give Target maybe a C- for LGBTQ+ - friendliness, and that’s giving them the benefit of the doubt. These scumbags are not only morally bankrupt, they’re barking up the wrong tree.

That was still too much for the tighty righties.

For God's sake. This is just getting exhausting and depressing. Worry about the fucking economy, not rainbow t-shirts, you embarrassment to the human species

Grow a damn spine, Target. They can't do anything of the sort without 1A burning their entire bigot law to the ground.

This is infuriating as fuck that Republicans are just allowed to abandon any presumption of governing and just subject citizens to these endless campaigns of outrage that always seem to end up putting some group of people in the crosshairs. I am really tired of politicians being allowed to waste tax dollars on this meaningless bullshit. You should not be allowed to go after any specific group of citizens for pursuing "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".

I want these cruel crooks to be punished for their constant culture war battles.
