#KOSA Is horrifying, and honestly, I'm worried it'll pass. That Democrats will throw away LGBTQIA people's right to exist AT ALL on the Internet for this bullshit idea of "protecting minors."
Kids are being used as fodder for culture genocide. It's sickening. Please fight tooth and nail to stop KOSA.
LGBTQIA folks have a right to exist. Our writings, art, existence, media all have a right to exist.
LGBTQIA kids have a right to exist too.
KOSA won't protect anyone. It will be used as a weapon to destroy the lives of people and harass us to death or worse. I'm legit shaken that Democrats in America signed on to this atrocity -- they really don't give a shit about us anymore.
I also worry this will impact the ability for websites and places like here to exist even in other countries that are safe for LGBTQIA folks.
Fighting for the right to exist at all is exhausting. But that's the point, isn't it? The Conversative Right wants to enact genocide, to exhaust us so that we give up and allow them to erase our existence entirely. And it's not just LGBTQIA folks being targeted -- People of Color, disabled people, Jewish people, and folks who exist at the intersections of those identities are as well. Basically anyone who is not white abled-bodied cishet conversative Christian is a target for these assholes.
Please fight this and all the other atrocities that these assholes keep throwing at us.
Don't give up hope.
Choose hope. "Hope is a discipline," Mariame Kaba wrote in "We Do This 'Til We Free Us," so let's enact the discipline of hope and continue to fight tooth and nail for the right of people like us to exist and THRIVE.
