Someone said the LGBT+ community is too sensitive and these 17 takedowns set him straight
With LGBT+ rights under renewed threat across the US, homosexuality still considered a criminal offence in many countries and hate crimes against the community showing no signs of abating in the UK, it can still be very dangerous for some people to be open about their sexuality. Although these facts are widely reported, there are some people who have no appreciation of the struggles happening all around them, like this charmer.

Homosexuality was a mental illness and a criminal offence until the early 70s. Trans women are killed almost daily. Government in the 80s didn’t do anything for AIDS because they were waiting for the LGBT to be killed off completely. Fuck you entirely. https://t.co/ZwhHJbuwGN
