Leave these people to wallow in their shit. They consistently vote for these crazy right wing assholes. I personally view most southern states as “shit hole countries “.

It’s the drip drip drip that’s freaking me out. Does anyone else feel like we’re living in 1933 Germany? Most Republican run states are actually already into 1934. And there’s not much from our national LGBT organizations. Has GLAAD met with Fox News? Doubt it, though Tucker Carlson, proud Trinity College member of “Dan White Society” and “Jesse Helms Foundation,” almost nightly spews his fascist anti-trans hatred right out of their studios.

After witnessing the killing of an innocent black motorist for no reason at all in Memphis, not at all surprised by this, what a pathetic excuse for a governor, similar to DeSatan.

Let's get Dolly to run in the next governor's contest. She must be standing up against some of this shit.

I am staggered by the appalling, hateful and definitely un-christian actions by the Repugnant Governors & their policy makers.....where does this hate come from? When will voters come to their senses and realize that hate & discrimination effects all of us even if you are not part of the targeted group? When society is divided it leads to fear, insecurity and violence , and in the end , these policies costs all of us in mental & economic terms. We all need to take action , as best we can.....if that means boycotting trips to Florida, Tennessee and other malignant states, so be it!!

In light of the relentless attacks in the right wing media world and on social media on the transgender & lgbtq community Allies including teachers , doctors medical staff and families none of this comes as a surprise. Clearly FOX News doesn’t care if gay people die never mind in Tennessee. They’ve made it quite clear we should not exist. Don’t think it is geographically specific.

I'll never get my husband to leave Florida. We both love the weather. However, I'm sick of the Fascist politicians here and the censorship and mistreatment of LGBT. Alas, we can't always get what we want.

This is appalling. Why are so many people in the US so wilfully ignorant? I'm in the UK and it doesn't happen here, thank goodness. In the US the Far Right want to ban abortion, ban contraception, stop healthcare for those who can't afford to pay, and ban voting rights, and it seems, want more mass shootings...this is all so backward, unreal.

Tennessee - so happy to be back in ....1956! First the Tyre Nichols killing, and now this. Tennessee is just one of several Southern states that needs a TOTAL MAKEOVER! AND, at the same time, there are 350,000 Texans suffering without power because in the last legislative session their legislators concentrated almost solely on the culture wars, and did NOT fix the Texas energy grid. The endangered species in Texas and Tennessee are humans.

To Wonne, Oh my goodness, he really said That? I only come on to the political scene with trump, although I did watch President Obama's inauguration. He was an amazing man and I was really happy he was President. To think that trump undid all that and did much worse, I was horrified to watch his time in Office, I knew from the beginning what to expect, I recall people saying they were leaving America.

At the very same time Trump was president I was badly conned and not just with money, and then the Lies... then trump's lies - you can imagine the state I was in, I was let down with organisations who should have helped me, I don't want anyone to go through what I went through, it was the worst time of my life and I knew the American people were going through the same thing. There was No Respite and if it wasn't for my friend I believe I was on the brink of not coping. After what is now 7 years I have now got representation and hope the parallels with trump's crimes will end like my case should, that all are made accountable, it Has to happen and I believe it will.
