    I’m Canadian. I support social programs and humanist programs. I support regulation of business so they don’t abuse their positions of power over people and to curb their habit of doing bad things in the name of more profit. I’m for taxing those with hordes of cash and giving the struggling worker a break. I support people to have the freedom to be who they want to be (gay, straight, trans, etc) as long as they aren’t hurting other people (IE pedos don’t get to harm children because they “were born that way” or god said it was cool). I support protecting the land, water and animals. I think Trump is a cunt.

    I’m probably pretty left-wing.

      Why even lump pedos in the same sentence with the gays

      This is an age-old hurtful stereotype. I’m hoping you don’t believe there’s any connection, because I have heard that before from bigots in my life and it just makes me see red. Same as the whole “homophobes are just closeted gays let’s point that out as if it’s a sickness”.

      I’m just tryin to exist, not be considered “harmful” to anyone

        Why even lump pedos in the same sentence with the gays

        That’s the new MAGA argument. I was getting in front of it.

        They’re basically arguing if gay and trans people are born that way, and that’s fine, then pedos are born that way so why isn’t that fine?

        It’s a stupid argument because gay and trans people by default exist without victims.

        In my opinion there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay, bi, trans, asexual, etc.
