    The US should start by defending LGBTQ rights in its own country first. They’re not doing too great on that front lately.

    Typical American exceptionalism to believe that they should get to be the arbiter of right and wrong, when they do little else but get things wrong. Imagine the U.S. trying to bring “democracy” to other countries? Oh, wait…

    I’m LGBT. The US better stay in its fucking lane.

    I’m sick and tired of US overreach and I hope everyone who ever voted for or organised any military operation from the US suddenly dies of cardiac arrest in the most painful way possible.

      Same. I’m bi, and while I appreciate the idea/intent behind this move… I fully agree with you. We don’t need the US to be policing anything beyond its borders, especially after they’ve proven to be an unreliable ally on literally anything and everything.

    I feel like if this passed we would end up using it as a free pass to nuke certain countries that we (not me, but you know) wanted to nuke anyway.

    The defense of LGBTQ+ rights is in decline in the U.S, so the bill’s only propose is for this headline. I guess gay politicans can be just as uselessly proformative as straight ones.

      It’s about forcing politicians to openly state which side of the discussion they’re on.
