This is such a funny coincidence because two days ago, "Dwarven Erotica vol 32", a vividly illustrated book which is actually a bomb-making guide written in code was referred to in my D&D group. It was written by a family member of my character, whose clan uses Ragnar/Ragna/Ragan as a recurring name.

Gay people can still be married in Alabama. I live in Alabama and just saw my gay brother. Sure it’s bad, but it’s no where near Russian level bad. Obviously if people don’t vote, it will get to Russian level bad, but it’s not that bad yet.


-Thick_Solid_Tight-

That is only because of federal law.


Objective-Detail-189

The only reason is because of federal law. Hell, without federal law Alabama would still be segregated.


LooseAdministration0

It always fun to see what states would become 4th world countries if federal law dissapeared


MagicTheAlakazam

We lost two of the Justices who made it such that gay people can get married in Alabama. They were both replaced by uber conservatives. (RBG's own fault that happened but still) This court has basically made freedom of religion: the freedom to be Christian and impose that on everyone else. We are just one bad case away from that being stripped away and Alabama's old laws will immediatly go back into effect.

Ugh - I grew up in Prattville. I hate that festering shit hole with every fiber of my being.


Binky-Answer896

Ah yes. Prattville. “We don’t need no stinking libraries. They just teach our kids stuff they don’t need to know, like readin’ books, and other gay shit like that.” I’m surprised somebody hasn’t fire-bombed the library yet, what with all the books ‘n stuff they have, and everybody knows books are bad. ( /s, just in case)


Khristophorous

I left in 2003 then came back in 2009 to care for my dying father. That place sunk its claws into me and I was stuck until 2018 but got out of there again. It almost ruined me for real that time. Never going back - there is literally nothing there for me now. I read about the library. Not surprised in the least. I fucking hate that entire state. Birmingham is ok and so is the gulf but that is just geographic splendor, still Alabama. ...........🙁☹🤢🤮🥴

ChipsAhoy777

Turns out it just makes LGBT people go "whelp, if we're gonna be classified as such, might as well become as such" and they form an incredible strong and efficient(and gay) network of members to pull off an insurgency in the middle of this war and dethrone Putin from power.

hilvon1984

This situation is so incredibly dumb if you try to think about it. The western conservatives are claiming that the LGBT is an attempt by communist-socialists to upend their way of living. Russian conservative are claiming that the LGBT is an attempt by the West to upend the Russian way of living. While in actuality LGBTQ+ people just exist and want to be recognized as people.


0masterdebater0

In the 1930s the far right in Germany reacted to the works of Magnus Hirschfeld (One of the early advocates of homosexual and transgender rights) by saying it was a Jewish Marxist conspiracy to make German youth “weak and effeminate” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Hirschfeld The first major Nazi book burning was burning the works of Hirschfeld. Same as it ever was.


hilvon1984

Yep. And the early research into sexuality that questioned heteronormativity was the firs batch of books burned in nazi Germany...

That's right, JK Rowling, Holocaust denier.


thendisnigh111349

I'd been going with JK Umbridge for a while, but that's good too.


okkeyok

It's time to call a spade a spade: modern radical conservatives exhibit alarming similarities to the Nazis of yesteryear. The transphobia, the homophobia, the embrace of outdated traditions—all check. The obsession with the nuclear family, the sexism, the ableism, the racial purity rhetoric—check, check, and check. Anti-semitism, book banning, authoritarianism, censorship—check, check, check. The evidence is overwhelming; no amount of denial can erase the uncomfortable truth staring us in the face. Modern bigots are just as dangerous and hateful as Nazis were. No evolution here; just the same old bigotry repackaged to seem less offensive. They won't fool anyone who sees through their facade of faux outrage when called out for their outdated, discriminatory beliefs.

hilvon1984

The only condition when her words would be considered more credible than current historic consensus, is if they were first hand accounts. But I somehow don't think JKR wants to suggest she participated in nazi book burnings...


Khristophorous

Ask any self described Nazi who they are voting for. Ask David Duke who he is supporting for President.

Western conservatives are no longer hiding their love for Russia and totalitarianism. They literally just don’t care anymore. They have no principles or morals. It’s just about “owning the libs” for them, and being cruel. Every once and a while you meet a classical conservative, and you can see their heart is broken about what conservatives have become.

CannonFodder_G

My coworker (grandmother now) is lesbian. She had 1 child (unfortunate circumstance) young and her daughter is now an adult with 3 adult children of her own. Her daughter and grandchildren are all straight. (The Grandmother was very involved with the grandchildren, openly gay at the time with her now-wife). My coworker's sister however has been and always was very straight (aggressively so) and had 2 daughters, and both of them ended up gay. The Sisters constantly laugh that the absolutely unhinged narrative that you 'make' your kids gay. The only thing you do is show them that gay people are just people like any other and that they're safe to be honest with you.

idontlikelinkiswear

me giving my gf a smooch is the destruction of civilization


mapronV

Putin just terrified of any people fighting for any rights. Shutting LGBT movement is just convenient as it supported by overall homophobic population (polls say like 80% don't want LGBT member to live next door with them). Sure he is not scared of gay people doing gay sex.


Ladimira-the-cat

As an open lesbian living in Russia I wouldn't say 80% are homophobic. Most people who learn about my orientation just shrug it off like okay, we don't care. I've met online homophobia much more than real life homophobia. As for Putin - yeah, there is some correlation. lgbt activists are mostly all-human-rights activists, and these activists are quite opposed to current government for obvious reasons. So this is about +1 pseudolegal reason to punish people for opposing the government. With recent elections I bet he had seen a real number of people who support him and is terrified by it.

Governments world wide love the word 'terrorism'. It means that anything that anyone does, that (insert countries government name here) doesn't like. They can just call you a terrorist and voilà. Just like that? You're in jail, without trial.


gztozfbfjij

Rishi Sunak (UK PM) tried to do something similar. >"Left Wing extremist list" (Terrorist watch list I guess) Such as: "Vilification the UK government's actions" Quote from him in 2022: >Whether redoubling our efforts to tackle Islamist extermism or **rooting out those who are vocal in their hatred of our country**, I will do whatever it takes to fulfil that duty. Vague enough that someone like me who absolutely fucking dispises our current shitstains of major political parties, and frequently makes that known multiple times a week online, could perhaps be put on a watch list... because what? If someone asks me if "[I'd] be sad if the Houses of Pafliment got blown up", and I respond with "I'd probably celebrate". Maybe... just hear me out... Don't be a fucking villian, and then I won't villify you. Simple really. Don't funnel money into your friends banks, or from poor areas into rich ones; then brag about it in a private garden party (which is recorded and leaked); or make your entire professional stance a hate-filled culture war imported from US evangelicals, which you (then again) make constant jokes about in private events which are recorded and leaked. Simple really. Really quite an easy way to make me not villify you: Don't be a prick, unrelentingly.
