    My response to that asinine argument is and remains: so the fuck what if they’d kill me? You think that makes them special? I grew up in the deepest red hellhole you can imagine, plenty of people there would want me dead for being queer too. Is it suddenly fine to war crime my entire home town?

      Depends, are there lots of black people there and/or is it called “Tulsa”?
