I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism, etc. Wondering where people here land?

    It was in liberal democracies where LGBTQ people first gained rights and have the strongest rights.

      They’re not in communist countries. And Florida is led by illiberal increasingly anti-democratic figures that are directly inspired by Russia and even China, so what a terrible example to counteract my point, lol

          The GOP is directly inspired by the homophobic attitudes in both countries. Have you been living under a rock?

            You don’t even believe this yourself.

            There is absolutely no way that you don’t understand that the GOP’s anti-queer stance is 100% homegrown, and you’re only making this ridiculous argument because you’re incapable of admitting that your previous comments on this topic are all bullshit.

            Do better and just take the L, this isn’t fucking reddit.

            Conservatives have been homophobic and racist since there has been a conservative. “Actually China did that”
