The incredible hate and cruelty and malice they aim at us is fully intended. Their actions here in 2022 have been about criminalizing our very lives. The "groomers" shit was done to rile up their rabid foot soldiers and get them to take matters into their own hands. This whole year has been about ruining our lives - likely even ending them.
They so wish they could incarcerate all of us. Conversation therapy at "best." And if that doesn't work? Locked up for life, or killed, or driven to suicide, just so long as the Nazis can Make America Cishet Again.
I'm sure news like this pleases them. "We're rid of them and didn't even have to work up a sweat ourselves." Fucking sick assholes.
This is no longer about "political differences" or a "culture war"... These people are our enemies, and have made it clear their goal is to eliminate us.
And sadly none of this is a surprise. Prolonged targeted bigotry causes all sorts of mental health problems, including PTSD, self-hatred, substance abuse and even potential violence. I can't count how many nights in 2022 has been spent having a few too many drinks.
