... or one party is more efficient at facilitating murder

Yeah one party is so bad they repeal things like DoMA while the other literally persecutes LGBT groups

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And, who was it that signed DoMA into law? Ah, yes, Bill Clinton.

LGBT became good business so the Democrats jumped on the bandwagon. I'm glad they are on the right side, but they are followers, not leaders. They support the disenfranchised when it benefits their larger cause of shoveling wealth to the top.

Was DoMA not a massive improvement compared to the situation before?

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Improvement how? The whole point of DoMA was to kill gay marriage, and it worked until the court killed it.

The Democrats were being given credit for killing it but 1) the court killed it and 2) A Democrat signed it into law.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense.
