We have a openly homosexual and a openly lesbian politician here in Germany. He is corrupt as hell and she is the worst possible person you could imagine.

Having a hard life doesn't automatically make you a good person.

..and Alice is a racist sack of shit, but her partner is from Bangladesh.

It definitely doesn't, but at the same time experiencing hardships doesn't automatically make you have empathy. Look at our vice president. Look at the billionaire that got him elected.

Empathy is what this letter is all about. I want someone who knows how it feels. And, instead of rising to the top to enjoy the view or talk about bootstraps, they become the arm that reaches back and pulls others up with them.

If I understood lgbt voters enough that won’t be an issue, politicians could burn the world to the ground if that would mean that they get their policies

There is also a group of right-wingers that fight against gay men and trans women with the rhetoric "they will take away womens' rights."

If people were just slightly more kind so many problems would be fixed.

From both sides, I just wrote here that lgbt would see the world burn just to have lgbt-friendly politicians , and they did try to convince people to vote for Biden despite him signing executive orders that caused a rail natural disasters and supporting Middle East genocides; and my reply was deleted.

All of your posts - everyday in any thread - are embarrassing, combative and misinformed

go outside

It would be helpful if it weren't so profitable for media organizations to spend so much time convincing people that other people aren't kind, so why bother.
