    That’s not a legal exception, that’s just a corrupt judge. Do you not have those in Canada?

      Do you understand how precedent works in the US court system? I mean, I fully agree that US judges and laws are corrupt, but it doesn’t change the fact that those laws and judges are still upheld by the state

        Yes I understand. I asked a question, would you like to answer it? Did you not notice that people use this same defense in other countries?

            We’ve already been over this several times now, there are no homophobic laws in the US.

            The topic of conversation is a warning to “queer” people about going into the US, as if it is more dangerous than the country they’re leaving. So yes, it matters.

              You can keep telling that to yourself, it doesn’t change the reality

              Also US is objectively more dangerous than Canada for LGBTQIA+ people

                I mean you can keep making up that the gay panic defense is a law but it won’t change reality.

                Also US is objectively more dangerous than Canada for LGBTQIA+ people

                But for some reason no one can tell me how. All they can do is attack and insult.
