I’m queer, and fortunately in the UK. But this still fucking hurts and scares me, mainly because of how it’ll effect the community in the US but also for me.

Lgbt people in the US can see these headlines and end up living in denial about there sexuality, living lies, being miserable and sometimes even killing themselves. Anti gay people feel vindicated by this shit, and say and do things to LGBT people they meet.

For myself, it influences the bigots through the world. Even in my professional workplace there’s colleagues that aren’t positive about it. We can get targeted for bullying or worse.

It’s just so sad
