Excellent presentation! Keep up the great work! You, your team, and the whole community have my full support.
The old white people leading the GOP and their backers are the most dire problem there is in the country you call home. The fears they have of losing control are overriding what ever sensibilities they once had or never had. They were being led by a bumbling idiot for the last four years and it continues. You can feel the pressure building around the country in every corner simmering ready to explode. This will happen it is inevitable because these people do not want peace. They want eradication of all peoples who are not like minded of their ideologies. They are just a symbolism for hitler and the nazis. A very sick leader with a cult like following that needs to be broken apart separated so that they cannot all feed off this hatred they have. They feel strong in their mobs but cowards and sheep when they are alone. A sickening group that society as a whole needs to overwhelm and silence .The Us needs another Lincoln to do what is needed for a second time. Hopefully this will happen and there can be some semblance of peace once again.
I applaud you all.
For once, I'm glad I live in Australia (shitty fossil loving govt but at least we aren't backwards like America in this LGBTQ aspect).
Thank you.
Thank you for speaking out on this. The people who want to take away our freedom to be the people we choose are dangerously wrong. Our civilization needs constant work from all of us to be environmentally green, and inclusive of all people. If we don't, we cannot be called civilized. Clifford Wagner
From the far north of Canada, all the love to you, your team and community. It is truly heartbreaking and vial that such antiquated and disgusting ideas are even let to see the light of day. Please keep doing the amazing work you do and keep safe.
I‘m spechless and ashamed of those regulations. I only hope that one day we all become people of the 21st century where those archaic and painful matters will be gone for good!
l have come to Australia, and l have come to know freedom
Helen Reddy sang 'l am Woman, hear me Roar!'
Every man, woman and child should be FREE to Say or Roar!
It's so sad that in this country (and others of course), the word "freedom" is so often twisted into an excuse for persecution.
Respect!
