  • Protect the children is basically always cover for something sinister. If there were easy gains to be made protecting children without sacrificing some critical personal liberties like privacy, I think those gains would have already been made.

    Anyway I agree with you that everything is really bad, especially for queer people who are now a scapegoat. Or, just a target of hate with no particular scape in mind, I guess. But it’s rather detrimental to make stuff up (i.e. about this specific law) to make things look worse than they are. You have already shown you have dozens of actual established facts with the links you’ve posted, that show things are really bad and getting worse. If you want to speculate that the death penalty is coming, that’s fine, just please be clear that it’s an inference, not present-day reality.





  • Yeah, I mean, I agree it’s suspect. It’s probably the most anti-LGBT state right now, and they’ve been passing anti-trans laws, such as the drag ban you mentioned – it all lines up. The only thing missing here is that I don’t actually see how this particular law would actually be used to target LGBT people. I have a high prior that this is intended to be anti-LGBT, it’s just I don’t see how it actually could be. I would change my mind if I saw a plausible explanation of how it could be used to target LGBT people.


  • I follow Erin in the Morning, and I totally agree things aren’t looking good. Death camps aren’t impossible.

    But you don’t have support for this statement right?

    Why do you think some states have made sex crimes against children a capital offense? They call trans people groomers and predators. This is literally the intended effect.

    Let me be clear: I’m completely onboard with you. We probably have similar opinions. I just wanted to see the source for this claim. (That is, the claim that there exists a state which introduced a capital offense that could plausibly be used to target LGBTQ people.)
