Because I cannot be friends with someone who supports the targeting of me and people like me with hate and oppression to deny our very right to exist. Your silence already spoke loudly enough, the betrayal is so utterly heartbreaking. I'm devastated . I cannot itemize for you exactly which of the terrible things they have promised to do will come true and to what extent. I can promise you a world of hate and demonization is coming for me and people like me. Just from today:

I’m so sorry for the grief and hurt you must be feeling. Please take care of yourself. (Please start by blocking anyone who leaves hurtful comments on this thread. People who go out of their way to add to the pain of others are loathsome. Do not let them violate your peace.)

Sorry for this. Wish I was your best man. I’m not a man but I might have more balls than some of them.

This broke me. I am so, so sorry. I wish you peace as you mourn this loss. That it's absolutely the right thing to do does not make it easier. Hugs. ♥️

beautiful writing, sorry he turned out to be so ugly.

Powerful letter. Much respect.

Sounds like you aren’t interested in understanding them and changing them for the better but projecting all sorts of beliefs on them they probably don’t have. That’s your choice,but if democracy is to be saved and people’s rights protected good people need to interact with Trump voters. All this “they should x y z why should I have to explain it to them?” Is some privileged nonsense.

I complain quite a lot about the downside of living in the U.K. at least here we havent thankfully got that far down the road of Fascism

What rights have you lost?

When did this happen? Where people announce shit from their private life to the world like it’s ‘news’!? Who gives a f*ck??
