Don’t worry everyone, I’m sure someone somewhere is worse and that makes this okay somehow.
LGBT identity is being exploited by assholes
This is a photoshop. It’s not real. It’s old enough that it’s not even “AI.”
They think LGBT is benefited by having more visibility. In reality it puts them center stage for anti-LGBT rhetoric and the world is more antagonistic. In the 90s nobody cared about the gays.

I know a guy who was put in the hospital in 1997 because some dudes thought he was gay.
You both have a point and have a not point at the same time. LGBT is benefitted by more visibility, because it being denormalized harms people who are gay/trans/etc. In the 90s, gay marriage was illegal, participating in gay culture outside of specific establishments means risking confrontation with cops, and someone’s kid being gay was every parent’s worst nightmare (it still is for some people nowadays unfortunately). More visibility and pushing for more rights and the same integration into society that the “in-group” has naturally means that people who are higher in the hierarchy will throw a tantrum and start committing hate crimes and attacking the group and using them as a scapegoat. But making others angry is necessary if you want a disprivileged group to have the same accessibility and rights as the ruling group.
Shit like this should be spray painted over
A society’s greatness can only be measured by how they treat their most vulnerable citizens.
Butwhatabout foreigners? No, seriously, what about foreigners? And stateless.
You mean the worse they treat them the greater the greatness, right? Like Sparta, right bro?
People who say this are free to let the homeless sleep on their couch or in their yard, but they won’t.
what in the actual fuck is wrong with you?
Well would you? You agree they need a place to sleep, so would you let one crash on your couch? And if not, it means you actually want them to sleep on the street, so you’d rather the street and pavement be comfy, so you can feel somehow charitable, that you’ve made it easier for a homeless person to sleep outside, or on someone else’s property, instead of just offering them some of your own space.
It’s got to be an absolutely wild experience going through life thinking there is no middle ground between inviting strangers (many of whom are dealing with addiction or untreated mental illness) to sleep with you and your children and putting spikes and bars on all publicly accessible places to make life harder for those suffering the most.
I’m guessing you love factory farming, animal abuse, migrant abuse, and child labor since you eat food?
I’m a vegetarian and native, don’t lecture me on your people’s atrocities and put them on me, colonizer.
I am just applying your own logic to you. You eat vegetables that were almost certainly picked by underpaid Central Americans and wear clothes that were fabricated in sweat shops made from fabrics harvested by children. If you’re living on a reservation funded by a casino, you’re likely benefiting from the drug trade or human trafficking as well. I’m as responsible for colonization as you are for the tribes that decided to help with the colonization for short-term gain. I acknowledge the atrocities of my ancestors - my family was also on the wrong side of the civil war. I also acknowledge that, despite having 1st nation’s heritage, I don’t present as native so I enjoy all the continuing privilege of whiteness. We ALL need to acknowledge that we can’t help but participate in systemic injustice, even if we’re fighting against it.
absurdism ergo hoc. I work with local homeless and have helped build tiny houses for the local homeless communities. Our goal is to provide housing so that people can access services critical to breaking the cycle of homelessness. a few weeks on my couch isn’t going to change someone’s life; a few months in a stable community with access to public services - to get them ID, to get them treatment for addiction, to get them job skills and financial aid - these are the things that change a life.
You’re so damned certain you have everything figured out, when you’re simply in the dark… mumbling to yourself, head up your own rectum.
I mean, I sure as hell wouldn’t do what’s shown in the photo. If I owned property lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We fell in love in a homeless place… We fell in love in a hooOoomless plaaace…
This is California in a nut shell.
Man that’s a new low.
Defeated by 2" x 4"'s.
My trans homies and I would probably throw a brick through that window… just saying.
Okay, in reality we’d talk to the owner first and explain why this is shitty behavior. The brick is plan B.
Plan B is for Brick

Finally, UHC in USA.
No human is illegal.
The irony
