    Probably not a good idea. People being proud of upsetting others is how we got here. And we have all seen how slippery that slope is.

      It is not only okay to upset intolerant assholes, it is a service to society. Bigots literally get offended over other people’s existence. They are the ones causing the problem in the first place, and they should be made to feel unwelcome as they do to others.

      There is no way for LGBTQ and minorities to live in certain communities in this country without being offensive to the white Christian Nationalist hivemind. Just the fact that they exist and want to live their lives and have their own culture is enough to upset these types.

      Look up the tolerance paradox in case you somehow haven’t heard of it. We must not tolerate intolerance if we want to live in a nice society.

      People who make death threats are garbage people who deserve to be upset. Nothing wrong with being proud of upsetting them.
