The federal government is making threats and criminalizing people over the stupidest things. You are what you are born with and nothing else. If nature or God intended it more there would have but there wasn’t. Now out of the blue these people just suddenly exist? No I refuse to bow down, I refuse to give in to their demented reality, to play along with their mental disorder. Just to keep them happy? What about my family and friends happiness? Or anyone else? This is nothing more than the Left using the government to shape America in to the disgusting fantasy it has always dreamed of.
