Community Rules:
- No Hate Speech
No Hate Speech allowed whatsoever. This is a O tolerance policy. This goes for any form of hate and/or bigotry regarding race, religion, or LGBTQ+ identities.
While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.
Be better than how your enemies treat you.
- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.
- Stay on topic!
Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.
This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
- Bunnies are above the law
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

There wasn't even a bathroom law in Arizona. A bunch of men busted in there just to harass a lesbian.
Her sexuality is irrelevant. There are plenty of "butch" straight women.
There's a clear hierarchy to their hate. Trans > gay > cishet.
Sure, but don't let them use their bigotry to control narrative.
There is no reason this person had to be an lesbian for this scenario. The bigots hear lesbian and think, no big deal, better safe than sorry, etc.
Sounds like a lucrative lawsuit to me
Nah, suing the cops is an uphill battle, even when you have a good case. And even if you win the cops will see 0 repercussions. Anything you win will be payed for by the tax payer while the cops get to stay on the force and brutalize more citizens.
Who could’ve ever possibly imagined that this would happen?
Oh anyone who can put two and two together…
Whoa, that's even crazier. Are police not beholden to law? If not, what exactly is law enforcement in the context of the executive branch of government?
In the US? LOLOLOL
Sadly, in the US police officers aren't required to actually know the law - https://www.mintpressnews.com/court-rules-police-dont-need-know-laws-enforce/217236/
"What am I being arrested for?"
"Doing stuff we don't like without license."

Why rely on MintPress’ analysis of someone else’s take. Why not use their source?
They've always considered themselves above the law.
I am the law!
