I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

    hi, i live in capitalist florida and my human rights are worth about as much as week-old dogshit. if you're pro-nato or pro-u.s. then you are anti-lgbt rights

    as an interesting note of comparison, china, while historically quite bad on trans issues, has been making pretty impressive strides as of late, even opening their very first gender clinic (for children) a few years back

    idk what you're going on about "their ideology is incompatible with lgbt rights" a plurality of people on hexbear are some variety of gay or trans or both (like me!). i'm pretty sure a solid 70% of our userbase would commit a murder with their bare hands if it could meaningfully improve the station of lgbt people even a single iota

    your entire comment is very ignorant. ironically it's probably closer to propaganda than anything you'll see on hexbear

      I am anti LGBT that's a new one. I am repeating myself, but NATO is irrelevant for LGBT+ rights and it is just brought up as some form of whataboutism for the 20th time. The world is not the USA, but most of you seem to have a very narrow view. Yes, the US sucks. So far none of you mentioned that you were jailed or killed for being LGBT+ in the USA, even though it is so much worse than the Soviet Union or Russia or anywhere else in the world (lol).

      Yes, recently you took many steps backwards especially in Florida and the problems are real, but it is still a better situation than just a few years ago. Get a grip.

      Seriously, it is just annoying at this point. It is ridiculous that you believe that you are somehow special and won't be prosecuted by dictators like Putin, killed by Stalin for "anti communist behavior" etc. I am not saying any of this, because I disagree with communism as a whole, but because the regimes you associate with would never allow us to live and flourish like we do and I don't want to find out.

        Tell me you're not following news in Florida without telling me you're not following news in Florida.

        Quite literally nobody is saying this. But to be completely fair, Cuba, a communist state, currently has better protections for LGBTQ+ people than any state in the US. ESPECIALLY Florida.
