HughJanus @lemmy.ml That's not a legal exception, that's just a corrupt judge. Do you not have those in Canada?

Do you understand how precedent works in the US court system? I mean, I fully agree that US judges and laws are corrupt, but it doesn't change the fact that those laws and judges are still upheld by the state

Yes, there are homophobic laws elsewhere as well, it doesn't change the status quo in US
4 0 ReplyHughJanus @lemmy.ml We've already been over this several times now, there are no homophobic laws in the US.
The topic of conversation is a warning to "queer" people about going into the US, as if it is more dangerous than the country they're leaving. So yes, it matters.

You can keep telling that to yourself, it doesn't change the reality
Also US is objectively more dangerous than Canada for LGBTQIA+ people

But for some reason no one can tell me how. All they can do is attack and insult.
