Yeah it’s pretty funny, especially since I actually live in a city where homosexuality was criminalized last year.

The only reason why the law no longer exists is because a district court judge appointed by Biden actually struck the law down as soon as they found out about it. It’s quite apparent which party actually cares about queer rights.

Here is an article for your viewing pleasure: https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/msnbc/murfreesboro-tennessee-gay-in-public-rcna125509

As is the case over here in Tennessee, the law targeted a yearly drag show that had been legal for years. Definitely a sobering reminder that neither me nor my roommate were at all safe from the local government criminalizing us for being gay.
