Right-wing, anti-queer domestic terrorism in Moore County, NC.

Expect more of this.

This is what conservatives want when they describe queer (especially trans) people as groomers and pedophiles.

This is exactly what they want. They want to foment grassroots violence. They want queer people and their families and their friends and allies to live in terror. This isn't even primarily the Trumpist wing of the party. This is the mainstream GOP — either engaging directly in this inciting rhetoric or turning an absolutely indifferent blind eye to it while trying to bank on it politically.

Believe me, God in heaven, please believe me when I say I understand the impulse. But. Please, please, please remember that weaponizing the suicide attempt of a queer child is actually harmful, and in particular harmful to other queer children experiencing suicidal ideation, and that this is true irrespective of who their parents are.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck conservative America.
