GopherCon pulls out of Florida due to “Don't Say Gay” and abortion restrictions

  • I liked it better when organizations that weren't intrinsically political didn't get politically entangled with local politics at every opportunity... seems like a fad now (coming up with political reasons not to host your conference at X location or allow Y speaker to come and speak)

  • As a queer girl myself; I appreciate the support, along with any and all progress towards stopping this shameful backwards march America is madly dedicated to.

    For a country that likes to jerk itself off about being the epitome of ‘freedom’, they sure do like to tell people what to do.

    A country where I can get a gun without a background check - but potentially be arrested for an abortion - is the definition of ‘fucked up priorities’.

    Saddening recent events have only proven this is more true than ever.
