(53,789 posts)I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of US evangelicals would like to liquidate the LGBT community.
Russian homophobia may be more open and prevalent, but homophobia is present in virtually every country.

(38,197 posts)At least, that is how my local precinct voted on Amendment One. It was 77% who were for it. It would stand to reason, those same ones would want to get rid of us entirely, especially considering how much they do hate us. I've had to deal with far too many of them. One neighbor, who is part of a local shooting club, right in the neighborhood said he was practicing for the day it is open season on us.
Nationwide, I cannot say, but where I live in NC, it is unusually high.

(38,197 posts)I have always wondered if there is a way to make homophobes and others who hate us into the ones that are despised instead? Give them a taste of their own medicine for a while and maybe they will learn what it is like.

They are what they have always been.
And they are the "established" church, though some others are allowed.
Not everything bad is directly caused by Trump.

Added to this ridiculousness is the next door neighbor Belarus having a f***in' victory day parade with 100k people in attendance.
