    I doubt they will have much of an impact at all. That said, I hope that most Canadians are repulsed by this kind of behavior and vote against it.

    (Because there are some iffy sources on lemmy, I tend to look up their reputability online. Here’s this one:

      If you think these people don’t have any impact, you’ve not been paying attention to your neighbours to the south (or to us over the pond, or to anywhere where trans and other queer people are being targeted, really)

        I feel like I need to defend us a little: US is pretty well split between two extremes right now, and you mostly read about this in the 1/3 of states that are highly conservative.

        Even in Florida, with all its faults, all its hatred, it’s corrupt government, it’s attacks on education …… a buddy in mine living in a community with a high percentage of lgbt folk, says it really doesn’t affect them directly. I’d worry more about raising kids there

        • US is pretty well split between two extremes right now

          I’m curious what you think the extreme is on the other end of the spectrum from right-wing bigotry, because usually folks who say this label the “trans and gay people exist, are people, are not all pedophiles, and deserve the same human rights and basic decency as anyone” contingent as the other extreme, somehow.

          Lmfao, do as much mental gymnastics as you like, that doesn’t change reality, nor make the US defensible in any way shape or form.

          says it really doesn’t affect them directly

          and that right there is the problem - that you (and your friend) only see an issue once it does.

          Maybe try taking your head out of that rotten “standing up for my country” sand and actually try listening more to those already impacted, because I guarantee there are many, they wholeheartedly disagree with you, and it isn’t stopping with them.
