Senate Bill 12 would have prohibited performers from dancing suggestively or wearing certain prosthetics in front of children. Critics sued the state, saying it violated the First Amendment.
Nah, maybe just that it is fuckall business of government and they should concentrate on real issues instead of poking their nose into what clothes people wear?
Oh , so christofacists trying to destroy our rights isn't a real issue? What is a real issue? What makes an issue real for you? If it affects you personally?
I don't think you realize that if they ban people from wearing clothing counter to their biological sex on stage, it is quite easy to make that law apply offstage as well. This is a step towards making it illegal to be trans and yes, it is a real issue. Maybe you don't care about trans people's rights, but I sure as fuck do.
Yes. That's literally the issue being discussed here that you seem to think is "too boring". You agree with the general sentiment here. Who are you mad at?
That is the small government republicans are advocating for to bring back "freedom". Aka enslave poor people, protect richt criminals and tell people what they can and cannot wear. God forbid money being spent on education, healthcare or infrastructure.
Because it affects our rights? Oh, so silly of us, you're bored by it so we should shut the fuck up and just take it.
Are you child? If not, it doesn't affect your rights, as this law applies to children.

He does. He prefers they have none.

I'm mad that you all keep giving them traction by engaging with this toxic shit.
Everyone is well aware of their motivations, but keep falling for it anyway. This is a wedge issue.
"The only way to beat them is to just let them pass laws against people they dislike because otherwise, a lemmy user will get annoyed".
Totally. It's lemmy that's giving these stories traction… my bad, I guess I didn't realize the pull we had here 🙄
