    Texas AG is a garbage human being. I hope PFLAG tells him to get fucked.

      They are, well legally speaking at least, and Lambda Legal and the ACLU are defending them.

        Right now someone at pflag should be looking for those contact lists they unfortunately lost every copy of right before they were asked.

      Recent events have led Paxton to believe that It Happening has broad bipartisan support.

          There were certainly a number of officials who were allowed to see a lot more birthdays than they should have.

          They also seem to be really concerned about all the women who are suffraging, and are doing their best to rescue them from such unspeakable and unladylike depravity - whether they like it or not.

              I’m still chuckling over the way I learned about suffragettes. By playing red dead redemption 2. I earned brownie points on more than one occasion. Video games are not all bad, hear me out!

      You know… Land of the free and such. So much freedom you’ll get persecuted for who you are and whom you love. Can’t have that.

      Where have I seen that before? Was it that one Germanic country in Europe? I’ve forgotten the name, but it ended with “any” and had a dude with a strange mustache as a leader.

      And no I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. The Nazis didn’t start murdering, they sneaked up on the country, started making lists, started spreading lies and fear, started a “them versus us” litany. Sounds familiar? Yeah, for me as well.

            Well, we can import one. I know there at least were a few at the UoM horticultural greenhosues on our state fair grounds. I’m sure we could figure something out.

    Is it normal, as a Texan evac, to be afraid of joining PFLAG in another state? I used to feel that was just one of my psychosis symptoms, unwillingness to join a formal rainbow group and actually socialize, but now I’m increasingly unsure

      they’re just cliques fam, find the good people already in your circle and hold them close. rubbing elbows and trying to fit in with various “queer” groups and orgs as a baby tran was awful for my mental health, you just become a stepping stone for some more privileged person’s clout-building.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
