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!

If he’s not a secret Nazi, he sure has poor judgement skills. I’m happy he’s marching and showing up, but maybe let’s not make him a fucking US senator?
He has stated the tattoo was a mistake, done drunkenly with other service members early in his enlistment. So he acknowledged it, covered it, never lied about it, and has never given any indication in any word or deed he has racist views.
I’m good with that being a mistake 20 years ago and he both owned it and has not shown any indication of the symbolism being a part of his life.
It’s rare someone stays on message for a decade in their private life, and all those same messaging pieces are kept going into a congressional run. He has.

I don’t know the man, but sincerity and consistency of laudable beliefs are worth something. I cant vote for him since I don’t live in Maine. I only know the national GOP has launched a massive campaign to smear the guy in every way they can out of fear he wins. Usually when the GOP is afraid of someone they are my kind of person.
