So then we agree this is nothing to do with 2SLGBTQI+ people?
-
the relevant states have made a legal push to criminalize being queer in public
-
You're like a professional goal post mover. What does that have to do with the police?
-
What do laws have to do with police?
Lobotomized level of take

You literally just misquoted me. If your intention was to completely misrepresent my position for the purposes of...? Good job!

Hmm who enforces legal shit?
-
But it's not legal. And as we've already covered, they don't need it to be.
-
legal and extralegal actions by the police are both effectively legal in the US because we effectively don't prosecute police. as the laws illegalize queerness, what actions the police are permitted to take expands.

"Effectively legal" is not remotely the same thing as "legal". Do the cops kill all sorts of people unjustly? Yes. That's not the conversation we are having right now. The conversation we are having pertains to being queer in America and it's supposed dangers. And not just "dangerous" but dangerous to the extent that a country issues a warning to a group of people about literally just entering an entire country of 300 million people.

completely missing the point to defend hate crimes. shocking

Completely derailing the conversation in order to "win" an irrelevant one. Shocking.

trying to survive is winning, you're right

Exactly the kind of reply I'd expect from people like you
-
yeah, you're right. it's exactly the kind of reply debate perverts masking their bigotry deserve.
-
Exactly the kind of reply I'd expect from a liberal being insulted after they deny violence is happening against minorities.
