Also, how do you pass a law saying companies can’t boycott your state? Like, how would that even work hypothetically? Are these people on the same drugs Elon Musk are taking and think it’s blackmail if people don’t give you money?
These bills are hateful, cruel, and disgraceful. If any of them progress, I hope the Missouri ACLU will oppose them strongly. Such efforts were what saved the state earlier in 2023 from effectively what would’ve been an adult trans care ban - which for a time, until overruled by a court, sent people scurrying to neighboring Illinois for treatments
What sick paradoxical mental gymnastics does it take to remove and refuse anti-discrimination protection status to a group of people, but grant anti-discrimination protection to people specifically to allow them to discriminate against those groups of people? There's no rationale, moral or logical, that explains the hypocrisy or actions of the Republican party with an answer beyond hate and vile.
Wow, living in Minnesota and watching the trifecta blue government get to work to pass legislation that actually makes life better for citizens I'm stunned at these efforts to just make life worse for people 😒
All of this hateful legislation perpetuated by Republicans is creating psychological terror within our community which is no different from what Hamas is doing in Israel.
This is why I wouldn't even consider going to my field's annual conference in Kansas City in 2024 (AWP, the Association of Writers and Writing Programs, for small press publishers and creative writers). Erin, do you think it would be more helpful for the conference to boycott states with such legislation pending, or would that further isolate trans writers/publishers in the state?
Hold up. So according to these people a child can’t know/understand/make decisions about their gender and sexuality but they can get married? So they are ok with actual sexual assault on a child because of some mental gymnastics that have to do with Jesus. Wow.
Its that time again :-/
Fuck these fucking fucks! Fuck! I’m so tired of this...
I personally think that these folks are WAY too concerned about other people's sex lives.
I always end up wondering why.

Missouri sucks. I go back and forth between "stay and fight" and "GTF OUT"

Fun Things to do When You Travel to Missouri!
1) Leave
My home state is a dumpster fire. Illinois is just across the river, though, and so far it has been very good to me.
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE - get these radical fools OUT of office.
