2. Rainbow-themed products and books are banned because they're a danger to schoolchildren

But you're right, apparently guns are no problem...

3. To paraphrase 'First they came for the gays'

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

5. Honestly I'm going to be relentless this Pride

Since they feel like I shove it down their throat. My crew and I are definitely going to be going to every single event we can and where you are going to be as gay as fuck. I'm tired of this crap and I'm tired of these motherfucking fascists
