    This shit isn’t being brewed up by the people in rural school districts, whom you so rudely slur as “cousinfuckers”.

    Defend them all you want, those cousinfuckers are the ones voting for it and committing violence for it.

      The point is, not everyone who lives there is a “cousinfucker”. In fact there are many lgbtq+ people effected by this.

      Majority vote does not equal everyone.

        I’m gonna massively contribute to this discussion by saying that it’s “affected” instead of “effected” :D

        And some text to spare anyone the need to look up the difference:

        • affected - meaning that something was influenced or changed (e.g. the lyrics affected him)
        • effected - meaning that something was brought about or facilitated (e.g. she effected the proposed changes)

        And a mnemonic I stumbled across while looking up the exact difference:
        “Affect is an Action. Effect is an End Result.”

        Well, and thus a few minutes of my nightly time go by. Hm.
