This is the reason DEI was necessary in the first place. It does clarify the origin of project 2025's determination to eliminate DEI policy from our government. I think it all started when a gay couple walked into a bakery to plan a wedding cake and ended up in court. GD MAGA homophobia. Weirdos.

The Trump administration wants gay people, and anyone else they don’t like, to live horrible, lonely, difficult lives, and really to just kill themselves. No words left for our purely evil govt.

We're losing so much to these dreadful people who are willing to sell their souls to a demented con man, who would throw them under the bus at the very first opportunity. If we don't do something soon, there won't be anything left to lose but our freedom.

This will cascade deep into discrimination against every minority. It’s pulling us back before the 60s. If Alito and Thomas and their benefactors have their way, we’ll be back to the 18th century when no one has rights except white Christian men. To discriminate against one is against us all.

There was a young white lesbian couple on TIkTok who waved their marriage certificate and also proudly proclaimed they were voting for Trump maybe thinking their whiteness would save them ,I guess. They can be denied housing now, wherever they are.

As infuriated as I am, right now????? This is HARDLY surprising. We all knew that a part of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” or “Take America Back” or whatever “Keep America Great” sh*t that he’s up to is stomping on the rights of LGBTQ, POC and liberals. This is sad but not unexpected.
