Which is why you provided examples. I wonder if there is an explicit historical difference in party platforms.
Was is it Clinton who ignored the AIDS epidemic until it became a crisis and told a supposed friend to fuck off when they were dying?
Where can I find these submissive puppy boys?

A “drip drip” is a usual consequence of hot sweaty mansex.
There are quite a few rumors about Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters. I suspect we may be Eskimo brothers…
Probably half of OKCPD agreed with McVeigh. Must have upset Terrence Yeakey so much that he slit his own wrists and shot himself in the back.
Yeah, it’s totally just a coincidence that deus vult and joking about crusades has been a meme in white nationalist communities and /pol/ for decades.
Yes - there is a lot that has been written about the homoeroticism of fascist movements. For years, it’s been a meme that “traps aren’t gay.” Nick Fuentes has sex with submissive puppy boys or something.
Fascism is libidinal. The Nazis who tortured gay men in concentration camps were also very eager to have sex with them. It goes back to Roman or even Bronze Age sexual mores, where sex is an act of aggression and as long as the “superior” is in the penetrative role, then it is okay.
The study that statistic comes from is seriously methodologically flawed.
The statistic is that lesbians are more likely to have experienced abuse in previous heterosexual relationships. These are lifetime prevalence rates.
My ex would play chess while driving.
Oklahoma does not allow abortion, except to save the life of the mother - definitely trying their best to stop any demographic decline. (This also does nothing to stop people from protesting at Planned Parenthood 🙄)
Sex Ed isn’t great either - the big focus is HIV/AIDs, which state statute lists something like “homosexual behavior” next to IV drug use as a risk factor.
No reparations for the rioters of course.
It’s not like this was intentionally done because Greenwood was economically successful to the point of being called the “Black Wall Street.” It’s not like Oklahoma has a history of black homesteaders setting up all black communities, then having their land taken by various contrivances.
I remember a couple of years ago talking to people using LIDAR (I think?) to see if there were any more mass graves still undiscovered…
Sorta. I guess it’s an angry sarcastic thing. A response to the feelings of dehumanization.
Like less reclaiming but more - that’s what they see me as. To the state of Oklahoma and most Oklahomans, I am nothing more than a slur. There’s been tons and tons of gaslighting - “we live in America! It’s illegal to discriminate against people so what’s happening to you isn’t happening to you!”
I’d just rather be direct. I don’t count as a person here - I am a “tranny.”
It’s not just the education system here either:
And what about child welfare? The Fed’s just stopped overseeing DHS, surely things are better now?
I can’t share too much - but I can say that when I brought up the fact that DHS LOST(!) the kid I was working with pretty routinely, they started to suggest that I might be sexually abusing her. It fucking sucks that I had to quit that role, but as a tranny I’m not risking anything.
The largest district in the state is a virtual charter school. “Attendance” is a five question quiz at most - they’ll drop you if you don’t “attend” for 14 days straight. So most families game the system - have the kid check in every 5 days or so. There’s a “learning fund” - where parents get around $1000 to shop around on Amazon for “school supplies” - strange how difficult it is to find all of the articles about people using it during the pandemic to buy Christmas trees and television.
Epic has teachers teach all subjects and grades - your child’s high school geometry class will be taught by someone who probably can’t add fractions. The grading workload is impossible, because you are grading across all subjects and grades. Read a paper about the Civil War, look through some material on art history - the reality is that kids are just submitting AI garbage which is never read by anyone.
There is a huge literacy and numeracy crisis in Oklahoma. It’s disgusting.
Priorities:
The state issued a new all-time high of 4,676 emergency certifications from June through December, representing teaching hires for the 2023-24 school year. The previous record was set last school year with 4,574.
The certificates permit a person with at least a bachelor’s degree to work in public schools without having any teacher training in the grade level or subject area they want to teach.
[…]
About 30,000 teachers left Oklahoma’s public school system between 2012 and 2018. Meanwhile, the number of people studying to become teachers fell nationwide since 2010, most steeply in Oklahoma.
Those are just the statistics on emergency certified teachers, who must have a degree. There are adjunct positions where a high school diploma lets you teach high school.
I remember during a teacher meeting one of our e-certs telling us that one of his students had told him that she had been raped the night before. He had no idea that he was a mandatory reporter
its beneficial to micro manage instead rather than having mass vacancies.
Kinda a positive feedback loop there. Teaching is a hard job which is going to require lots of work beyond your contract time and pays shit compared to other jobs which require the same level of education and training. Adding the additional work and micromanagement drives people away. Especially when that micromanagement is pointless and ineffective.
They’d pay these consultants hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell us to do things, when those consultants had no understanding of the fact that you cannot teach a physics class like an English class. (Maybe use that money to hire more staff? There’s a huge difference in the work when the class average is 25 and not 32.)
And yeah - the district I worked in was primarily staffed by emergency certified teachers. I taught my colleagues subatomic structure and wrote their assessments, because they often had degrees in things like physical education. I get, if you’re hiring people off the street because you’re desperate you probably do need to watch them more, but at the same time if the vice principal is taking me aside my first day of teaching and saying “you actually have a degree in this, so you are going to have to step up and take one for the team” - idk, if I’m going to have to work Sunday nights, let it at least be in a way that acknowledges that I’m a professional and have my own system.
You’re right in that individual examples prove nothing, but the evidence suggests something larger at play.
I’ve provided examples of individual and institutional homophobia - you’ve failed to even suggest evidence of the former. I would not deny that individual “left wingers” (idk if you distinguish between leftists and liberals in the same way I do) that are homophobic - but I don’t think I’ve seen any evidence that progressive ideologies are institutionally homophobic. Feel free to provide some evidence though!
