The U.S. government should stop giving foreign aid such as food and medicine to countries that have homophobic and sexist laws.

It’s hard to unlearn homophobia if you’re starving and dying of a curable illness.

The starving children dying of tuberculosis aren’t responsible for homophobic laws. Plus I still think Alabama deserves FEMA aid.

There would be plenty to go around if we didn’t let billionaires dodge taxes and funnel most of the budget into military contracts

Wasn’t thinking of a specific example. They get hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes. I could have said Florida (they sure have discriminatory laws) but wanted to go for a more heavily conservative state.

I know. People need help regardless of where they live. I don’t think people in Alabama are less deserving of help due to local homophobia. I don’t think kids in Nigeria or Bangladesh are less deserving of help either

So you’re just trying to say everybody deserves help… but by being discriminatory yourself against people in a certain geographical area?

Hey that’s not the question here 😭 I’m all for higher tax brackets, BUT military spending is also certainly important

What? I was giving an example of how we all think homophobic states like Alabama deserve help, so the same applies for other countries. It’s an analogous situation

I do not base the right of people to live on if they are in a homophobic place or not
