You can get your anti-west accolades without doing that, you know.

The proponents deserve all the AIDS they’ll get by restricting prep access though, f you. Good luck to the others…

Sad. I could never understand how it feels to be persecuted for my sexual orientation. Parts of Africa must be the one of the worst places in the world to be gay (after most Arab countries). You could literally put all gay people on Mars, but there would still be horrible arseholes who would complain the solar system is being “infested”. Why cant we all just get along? Ahh yes, fragile male egos and orthodox religious beliefs.

The reasons are far more sinister than someone’s ego. People (not just males) do these things to gain/stay in power or similar gains (monetary, followers, …).

Not individual people, really. It’s the capital owning class, that tries to push bigotry to protect their own power.

There is no secret group of rich people voting what to do next. Individual assholes is all it takes. Also, people doing this do not need to be wealthy at all. This is often a way into power.

The owning class is made up of individual people. They have names and addresses

Look at the number of republican gay legislators who pass antigay legislation. Some people are hust wired to hurt others.
