Why? It’s got its own nuclear deterrent, a functioning economy, a family elected leader and close ties with the largest trading bloc on earth.

If I wasn’t already gone I’d get gone.

Thankyou. I didn’t realise quite how difficult it would have been.

So sad that things so obviously harmless and bettering for humanity can’t get anywhere near that 76% support in the richest most privileged nation the world has ever seen.

Humanites high water mark is decidedly low considering the potential.

Oh well.

I can’t imagine the fear I’d have in their situation. I’d probably do something similar.

Though if we’ve learnt anything from history it’s that their friends and co-workers will out them to the booted thugs at the drop of a hat anyway.

So maybe I’d go for the ‘flame while I can’ approach.

My god. If Elon could read he’d be dead from that one.

Initially just the rights gained by it removed. Any tax benefits, recognition of dependent status, military spouse stuff etc etc.

Later a list will be created and distributed.

The public will be encouraged to refuse service to openly gay people. From there it’s a quick ride to imprisonment and reeducation until it’s similar to Saudi Arabia. Then who knows.
