When you share ignorant myths about trans people, minorities, share racist, sexist, xenophobic memes, support politicians who advocate (and sometimes pass) legislation to push already-marginalized people out of public life, you’re encouraging people with just slightly less self control than you to hurt other people.
When you support bullies, strongmen, and bigots, you’re continuing the cycle that ends up in people getting hurt and killed.
Stop and think about the people affected by this stuff. They’re actual real human beings with families and friends who will miss them if they’re gone.
I’m tired of losing friends and having friends afraid to go out in public as themselves because some asshole might kill them just for being who they are.
These people are fighting for their rights to be seen as full members of society. You’re fighting for your right to continue to keep them in the closet (which isn’t a right, it’s a privilege, one that we should all be willing to give up so others can enjoy the same rights we do), and to not have your precious beliefs challenged. There is a huge difference.
History is not on your side, nor will it be kind.
