      Right, because Labour, (and the Tories and the Lib Dems) are all totally homophobic just like Republicans.

      What the fuck are you talking about?

        I’m just saying that I think this particular fear you have is roughly equally likely. Maybe the likelihood of it happening in the US is double or triple than the UK, but I think that would put the likelihood only from 0.01% to 0.03%, so basically the same.

        Forcing queers (~8% of the population) in re-education camps would incite riots. They won’t do it.

          Did you listen to the King’s speech this year? I doubt it.

          Did you know that the King’s speech lays out government policy? I also doubt it.

          Did you know that the King’s speech this year included making conversion therapy illegal? I really doubt it.

          Meanwhile, in the U.S., there’s project 2025 and prominent republicans literally calling for trans genocide.

          Forcing queers (~8% of the population) in re-education camps would incite riots. They won’t do it.

          Yeah, remember how that happened in Germany in the 1930s when queer people were put in camps and then there was a big riot and they all got freed? No, neither do I.

          Remember how it wasn’t even legal to be queer in America until 2003? I do.
