You see, I just wanted some equal rights at first. But now I know that me having equal rights will turn the entire state gay and cause our population to die off, which of course I'm not in favor of. So I'm super glad that my tax dollars are being spent to reveal this massive problem!

I'm also curious as to why Massachusetts hasn't disappeared in the last decade, but maybe it takes a while for this to kick in.
