1. Marginalization can be murder

Anyone who cheered on the suicide of the only other "known" gay kid in the tiny minded community my parents relocated me to in my youth became accomplices to his murder in my world. Giddy, idiotic, self-righteous goofballs propped up by marginalization tactics like these current laws.
The sincere efforts to either encourage me to commit suicide and direct threats of execution (the term used was honor killing) in brutal ideas...
Still sources of PTSD nightmares for me, 45 years later. Especially when they're still at it.
To Westboro Baptusts and ilk: You have blood all over those hands you wave in the air pwaising Jeebus.
