In Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a new city ordinance targeting public homosexuality is hitting libraries. “When in History have the ones banning books been the good guys,” says local activist.
The fascists have gotten really bold lately and it’s extremely disheartening.
Where are all the armed constitution defenders? Oh, I see.
Homophobic Fuck nut hicks from a shit state.
the council moved to enact a tiered library card system, where most nonfiction content will be gated behind the adult-only library card.
Sweet, let’s make sure that kids can’t learn anything adults don’t want them to, which pretty sure is the whole point.
“Oh, no,” says the kid on his phone, “I won’t have access to the knowledge from books.”
“When in History have the ones banning books been the good guys?” The answer is never, not once.
“Good ideas stand up to scrutiny all on their own.”
Everytime I see news like this it makes me glad not to live in america
And if you americans can afford it you should consider becoming an expat and leaving america
Living overseas is my retirement plan, probably Portugal, I have lost faith in the American political system.
But incidentally these people are disgusting.
I wish we could afford to do it. Even looking at the low price expat groups, they are way to unaffordable for us, who have worked at restaurants and other crap jobs (even with degrees). I am seriously desperate enough to consider trying to marry in somewhere if I can find a pair so we can both come. Then, I’d probably have to leave my pets behind, and just could not.

This shouldn’t even reach the Supreme Court. It should be easy enough that lower courts should rule definitively against it and kill this ordinance.

Unfortunately there is no “safe place” in the world. The US and EU used to be the most tolerant regions but now the tide has changed. Since nobody is protesting and people are already busy enough trying to make ends meet, it’s better to just wait. Either bad times will pass or society will collapse entirely and bigots will realize it was not minorities’ fault for the decay.
The US was never tolerant, the EU is still comparatively tolerant.
