This action absolutely gives the game away. Taking away trans rights is just phase one. They're rolling back protections for all of their citizens using a widely misunderstood minority as their smokescreen.

Yep. L and G are next. And, when they remove same sex marriage it will go back to the states and those will be nullified too

Kill republicans or accept this fate.

And then interracial marriages and stupid people will be gaping with their mouths open like fish not understanding what happened.

There are times I wonder if Clarence Thomas is in a DV situation, can't get out, and is just trying to have his marriage nullified by taking the whole ship down with him. Which is the kind of shit that Main Character Syndrome folks pull, which seems apt for him or any of his ilk.

I'm not American, so I can only boycott Garmin and not AMC movie theaters for being based out of Kansas.

Are there any Iowa based corporations that should also get the kiss of death?

Most cereal and high fructose corn syrup comes out of Iowa.
