I know that some people in my communities may disagree with me on this issue, but I refuse to knowingly spend any of my money with companies located or headquartered in states which are actively attacking the equal human rights of #women and #LGBT people.
If your state has restrictive #abortion laws or is attacking #transgender people, you don't get my money.
This is what it means to be a #libertarian #feminist. Without #Equality, there is no #Liberty. I will not be a party to oppression.
@AlexanderKingsbury Usually the first objection raised is, "but what about all the LGBT people in those places?"
Well, they can move. They chose to live there, and if they didn't choose it, then I am happy to work toward efforts to support relocation. I think this should be supported in the private sector, the nonprofit sector, and at the state level—even the personal level, which is why I have put out the word to personal friends that I have room in my house.
It's time to stop making excuses.
@AlexanderKingsbury We have to stop pretending we can rescue the lives of people in what are rapidly becoming foreign countries that don't respect equal human rights. We're not going to dislodge the Republicans from dominance, and they aren't going to change course.
The best we can do is shore up our own states, and welcome the refugees. Because the alternative is almost certainly going to be civil war. Slavery didn't end because we asked nicely and continued buying goods from the South.
