Unfortunately I know people who literally talk about how they’re “just waiting for the orders” anytime queer people, homeless people, liberal politics in general come up.
It’s an incredibly shitty feeling. Going through life knowing that there are people literally down the road just waiting for the chance to brutally murder someone for loving someone.
And I live in the US in an area commonly referred to as a blue state. Literally on the border of a major metro area.
It’s definitely shitty and stressful a lot of the time that’s for sure…
The air is changing in the area (especially compared to when I was young) in a good way but the ones that have shitty views are getting more blood thirsty in how they talk. The youths are getting more progressive here, hell I was getting ice cream with a boyfriend a few months ago and we overheard some teens openly talking about being queer. When we were that young we wouldn’t have dared to do that fearing for our lives.
If shit does hit the fan (like we do fear) at least my friends and found family have plans for how to make it out the other side alive. And hopefully inspire others to continue the fight no matter the odds.
Yeah, think it’s the “cornered animals” phase of this societal transition, cement-brains are losing their shit left and right. Hopefully, empathy and reason will eventually triumph over this utter bullshit…
If not, as you’ve said, when shit hits the fan, we’ll slap it right back at them. I mean, enough is enough, someone has to knock some sense back into’em…
In the meantime, I’m happy to hear you’re not alone out there, and I wish you and the ones close to you nothing but peace and love! Stay safe and stay strong! Us sinners gotta stick together!
I’ve had people openly admit they think it’s just and good that I’ll go to hell for being queer. And the majority of my family follows the same doctrine, so… I don’t think I even know how I feel about it tbh.
the amount of bigoted dipshits confident that they’re going through the pearly gates has me half convinced they’re right and half convinced that i’m not missing out on a whole lot
Oh, god, had my fair share of familial religious zealotry and it was bad enough when they didn’t see me as entirely anathema to everything they’d been brainwashed into believing…
I’m so very sorry you can’t find shelter with the people who were supposed to protect and love you with everything in their power, the feeling of alienation from one’s own family is loneliness like no other… I hope with all my heart that you’ve managed or will manage to find people who love you exactly as you are, people who bring you peace.

I can’t even begin to imagine how it must feel to know that so many people on this planet would kill you just for existing…

I understand… I was sitting in an office next to someone who was watching Jan 6 live as it happened, and they were cheering occasionally.
I work in government IT. It’s terrifying that these kinds of people are everywhere.
Jesus Christ, that sounds… insanely stressful and horrible…I don’t even know what else to say, I’m truly sorry you have to go through that…
