      Yes and do not expect perfect leaders but at least have them align more with what the citizens want

      remember going to the mall when was younger with a same sex partner and getting the nasty looks and comments when we would hold hands or show any affection especially from the older conservative looking types

      the world does not seem much different than back then some ways less progressive now if that is even possible

      and it should be fucking different now know not the only one

      As someone that is gay, fuck Biden. Our rights are no more protected under a Democrat as they are under a Republican. I’m not talking bullshit social shit like marriage or adoption. Until they address things like wages, housing, education, and healthcare we have no rights. Democrats don’t care what bathroom a trans person uses and also don’t care if they are living on the streets doing it.

      Refusal to address wages, housing, healthcare and education is social murder and violence.

      The motherfuckers also gave our marriages to the states where we would have fewer rights.

        “When you ignore everything democrats have done all across our country, democrats are the same as republicans!”

        Great take

          What have democrats done? We still have wages that suck, no affordable healthcare or housing, not addressing future education costs, no additional protections for trans individuals. Hollow empty platitudes don’t pay the bills or protect people’s right to quality of life.
