    Alive?

    But I’m guessing you’ll say those suicides were their fault, not the conversion therapy’s, so anyone put in those camps will be just fine.

    Because you don’t give a shit about queer people.

      100% the camps fault.

      Who put them in the conversion camps to start with?

        Their parents for now.

        When Trump wins? Probably the government. Which is the whole fucking point of why I WANT TO KEEP MY DAUGHTER ALIVE.

        For fuck’s sake, you seem to think I should just abandon her or something. Why are you so goddamn callous about the lives of queer people?

          Once again you try to redirect this towards me being against queer people.

          No problem at all with them and wish them all the best.

          So you think that if trump wins the government might go against all previous examples and pass a law to force minors into conversion camps?

          Maybe, but I guarantee you that other people’s children are starving, dying, and suffering right now.

          But they are far away and brown so they don’t matter.

            Right, I get that you think I should take the chance on sacrificing my daughter’s life because somehow voting for [INSERT NAME HERE BUT NOT BIDEN OR TRUMP] in America, even though they will absolutely not win, will definitely end Israel’s genocide because *waves hand around randomly.*

            That’s why you don’t give a shit about queer people. You care more about a moral victory where genocide happens in two countries than stopping a genocide that happens in one before it starts.

            You say you wish queer people “all the best” and then tell me to risk my daughter’s life for a moral victory.

            You do not give a shit about queer people.

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!
