    That is 100% the goal. And then anyone caught having gay sex will be put in a camp. Probably a “conversion therapy” camp.

      When it was illegal in the UK gay men were sterilized with HRT because of estrogen’s libido-reducing effects, so essentially forced transition and dysphoria. I see the US leaning more toward camps, but this government looks like it would try anything to inflict pain on “undesirables”

        They don’t need to worry, in practice the made people in their little mafia will be able to do whatever they want on the DL, but outside their clique probably even straight people will have their lives destroyed by empty accusations

    Roe v Wade “race”? Does that refer to the 49 years during which nobody did anything to enshrine that right? Slowest race I’ve ever seen.

      That’s the danger of protecting rights only by judicial doctrine. It forestalls actual legislative attempts to create protections.

        Foregoing litigation and waiting around for a legislature without any protections would have been much more dangerous. People were right to bring Onergefell, Roe, Brown, and a lot of other civil rights cases to the court and the court was right to rule on them the way they did. We just should have found a way to make the court less stupid about campaign finance so we could get a legislature that would finish what those cases started.
