We've fought so hard, lost so many in the early AIDS epidemic when RayGun wouldn't lift a finger, so much PTSD from violent homophobia, so many runaways from the christofascists, raised awareness globally where we could. We've come so far.
All for TFG's SC stooges to play up an inquisition revival. All for RW media to play the "groomer" frame game. I knew we were in trouble when I heard the shocking news on November 9th, 2016.
Hoped it all wouldn't be that bad.
It was worse, far worse, and keeps on it's astonishingly idiotic campaigns.
