I kind of assumed, mistakenly, that other countries that aren't the US were a bit more progressive than the US.
But it seems like the issues that we're plagued by exist everywhere?
Fuck. We gotta fight.
The US is actually pretty progressive on the LGBTQ front compared to the rest of the world outside of Northern Europe, I'd even go as far as to say the coastal states are some of the best places for LGBTQ folks in terms of culture in the world.
Woah that is news to me 😳! You have some sort of source for that so I can include it when I tell other people this?
Yeah sure,
Even from the entire country perspective.

the US is very progressive — what sucks is that it's on a state-by-state basis so it's at the same time very conservative lol
but places like the west coast and northeast are very forward. Philadelphia for example has a whole gayborhood filled with gay bars and the most obnoxious LGBT people you've ever met
Conservatism is dying slowly, and instead of reconsidering their positions, right-wingers are doubling down and turning to fascism to keep their grip on power. We must stay vigilant and counter their bullshit and violence whenever possible. If we want a better world, we have to fight for it.
