Conservatives really are acting like Nazis when it comes to Gays.
Advertisements [?]
I usually refrain from making Nazi comparisons, as they're somewhat trite and usually more than a little over the top. However, emboldened by the most far right President in U.S., the way that conservatives want to treat gays is starting to mirror the way that Nazi Germany treated Jews.

In the past year, Conservatives have made efforts to:


Codify anti-gay discrimination into the U.S. Constitution

Ban library books with gay characters

Ban school textbooks that mention gay people

Attack cartoon characters that they view as insufficiently heterosexual.


Now, I know some of you might think this comparison is over the top. After all, the conservatives aren't advocating exterminating gays.

My response to that though is that Hitler sending Jews to concetration camps was called the "final solution." It took Germany a while to reach that point.

And considering the fact that the connies don't even attempt to hide their visceral hatred for gay people anymore, do you really think them incapable of doing something similar?
