Companies pulled poo poo out of NC over the bathroom bill and threatened to do the same in Texas over a bill that basically legalized discriminating against trans people

Comma because it was the smarter play than being poo poo on and losing sales themselves, not because they're allies

i love trying to make the US military woke by having it include gay feminist witches who fight terrorism

Over 70 years ago the Jews of Germany ended their persecution by making a deal. We vowed to to use our power to protect our Reich. Today, we are warriors on the front lines of the defense of the Fatherland.

in fairness, there were some actual boycotts and not just threats. the NBA pulled the all-star game out of Charlotte after it passed, and i think the NCAA did with some of their events. that's just in sports but i knew there were more. the state of NY still refuses to send state employees there

but it still didn't work because you can't fight evangelical spite with anything other than spite of your own. we really need to demonize them as "political Christians" like the austrian government does with Muslims

if there's people who wanna gently caress the same gender, the opposite gender, or both genders, it follows that there's people who wanna gently caress neither

asexuals are definitely a thing but i haven't yet seen a convincing argument they're a separate identity on par with lgbt. you just don't see the kind of structural oppressions that define those other categories, or at least i'm not aware of them.

I’d say people make jokes about spinsters and stuff but that’s mostly sexism and it seems like many asexual people have partners anyway

does being lgbt or on par with them require facing a lot of structural oppression and discrimination? that's a serious question, i wouldn't say it does. i feel like i hear similar things about bi people a lot too. anyway, one thing asexuals do have in common with them is lots of people just thinking they're mentally ill and need treatment for their "disease".

i will not immediately deny you the right to rank peoples sexual orientations according to hardships suffered, but may i inquire what you will use the ranking for?

asexuality is definitely a thing, but from where i'm standing it's more of a curiosity to most people (if they've heard of it) than something that attracts structural oppression
