    And when they talk about how dangerous the cities are:

    For instance, some conservative groups are trying to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2015 ruling that established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right. McCranie says some of his clients are wondering, “Where would we be safe as a couple and as a family?”

    Yeah. Total mirror image indeed.

      Yeah, but think of how oppressive it must feel to be surrounded by people who don’t arbitrarily hate entire groups of other humans…

        I feel like we need to start a movement to make Christianity illegal so that we can end on the compromise of “mind your own fucking business.” A huge portion of this asymmetry seems to stem from the fact that liberals and leftists never go on offense, so when things reduce to maximalist bullshit there no leverage in negotiating the social contract.

        I took my very hetero straight family to church yesterday and we shared a table with a young gay couple for lunch. My gosh it was soo terrible having a nice conversation with them. I could even let my kids go off and play without them being molested by a priest like god intended. /s

        The day before we went to the pride parade and there was a guy in the street spewing hate before it started. I went up and asked if he thinks he is saying anything we haven’t heard before and all he really said was “free speech” in defense. I told him your speech is worthless if that’s your defense and walked away. He didn’t hang around after he saw me pointing him out to my kids. They have so much pride in their shame.
