I’m glad to see officials from within the Biden administration calling out the bullshit.
Mayor Pete: “If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.
Don’t you dare act surprised.”

@tusk81 No half measures. Pete is saying what should have been said a decade ago by the left, and he's not going far enough. We need social justice WARRIORS out there.

@tusk81 An attack on anyone no matter sexuality is an attack on society itself. There are no separate groups or ideologies, we are all 1 collective

@metalhead84 @tusk81
That's relativizing the targeted attack on a specific attack group BECAUSE OF their sexual orientation or gender identity and waving away the hatred stoked by politicians on purpose.

@indri @tusk81 Everyone deserves to live in peace without fear or persecution, seeing us all as 1 human race that values love and compassion and rejects hate should be our end goal as a society.

@metalhead84 @tusk81
Of course it should. But this won't be achieved by ignoring that some groups are not just much more at risk to be persecuted than others but that this persecution is specifically for who they are.

@indri @tusk81 Dividing society on lines of race, gender, sexuality, culture etc creates an US and THEM narrative. We should be dismantling this kind of thinking, seeing everyone as 1 group working together for a better future for mankind

@tusk81 it always baffled me how they attack those who support the LGBTQ community as "Groomers," and yet are willing to give the Catholic Church a pass. It's almost as though someone has programmed them using cult techniques for some sort of political gain.

Slayer Pete is the Biden administration's best communicator. It's a shame he needs to sleep, or we could put him in charge of the DNC.
