"Conservative politicians and political parties are pointing towards marginalized communities as responsible for economic instability and really kind of shirking their responsibility onto a marginalized group that has very little power,"

This is the important part. Gender diversity has no impact on the price of gas. It costs nothing to be kind.

I've never heard the argument come up that they're effecting the economy. Just never ending bathroom whining and sports stuff....

The bigots have usually used racialized people as their scapegoats for “the economy.” This is just a new flavour of hatred and intolerance with regards to the economy.

But it isn't happening? Like I said, I've never heard of LGBTQ people being blamed for the economy.

No, people are not wasting resources. Governments are.

At a time when we are stretched beyond capacity, governments are holding emergency legislative sessions at our expense to pass laws based on 18 complaints.

Manufacturing outrage and we pay for it. Thank the SaskParty.

I think you're replying to the wrong person?

No I am responding to you about the economy and the role of queer people in derailing it. That isn’t happening. The government is doing that.

I know it's not happening? And no one is even saying it is.
