There are already rumblings about targeting the LGBTQA+ community and deporting them as 'undesirables'.

As a gay male who was born in the south, I knew better than to be 'public' about myself. Being in rock bands allowed me some leeway, but still, not public. Then, I met my hubby when I should have been in the ground, and he and I made a life together. We got hitched in 2004, and it became legal in 2014. Now, they want to deport us because they don't like what we represent.

We are the anthesis of their 'dream society'. Conformity and control. Two gender and one is in charge, by Gawd!

My only comfort is that most of these idiots think gay men are willowy, fey little dudes who lisp and sashay around wearing heels.

Yeah, I grew up on a farm. I did time in the military. I love the outdoors. I don't run from a fight.

Like Rorschach said, "You don't get it, do you? I am not locked up in here with you. You are locked up in here with me!"

Time we all took that attitude, I think.
