    It’s very important to keep track of rights, but I think it’s unfortunately human for some things to get missed. My friend group has four trans or nb folk, six or so gay or bi folk and a few straight allies. I’m the only person that knew about a law defining gender as binary in the state, and that’s probably because it was signed around the time that a transgender representative was banned from the state legislature which made news around the country. They didn’t even hear about it when the law was overturned a few months ago.

    We get so much news every day from our local, regional, national, and global sources that it can be a full time job to sort out the losses of liberties that many people don’t care about because it doesn’t affect them

      You should tell your bosses that they should allocate more $$$ to lgbtqia+ issues so that they can adequately make this corporate shill of an instance make blahaj look more legitimately look like it it’s lgbtqia+ friendly to keep their astroturfed appearance looking legitimate in the fediverse. Lol

        You couldn’t even do the bare minimum to realize that I’m not affiliated with this instance, but nice attempt on being condescending

          I wonder who/where they’re organising their brigade to get all these upvotes 🙃

            No kidding. It feels bizarre that they came swinging at me, but I suppose I’ve forgotten how aggro ml users can be

        What with all those unsubstantiated accusations of an astroturfed instance, methinks the .ml user doth protest too much.

          .ml users will never not be the funniest part of this site tbh

            Maybe. Mind you, the lobotomy patients over at .world are putting up some remarkably stiff competition. I’d say it’s too close to call.
