Fun fact: where I live, just as LGBT+ social support has been on the rise… keeping lizards has been banned. 🤦

Only “naturally occurring” animals are allowed as pets, the “non-natural” ones have to go.

Good thing I’m into cats (“natural” since some people introduced them a few thousand years ago… but they can’t ban cats, right?.. right?).

On a more serious note, I’m tired of hearing the same arguments getting rehashed over and over, with just some words changed. The only rational conclusion, is that deep down, people love to hate. It really doesn’t make it feel safe to “come out” as anything other than whatever is currently mainstream, and even that can land you in hot water when the trends change.

But not stating something clearly, will make people just assume “the worst”… they can come up with. So it’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Any hope of leading a peaceful life, seems like an illusion; finding someone, a pipe dream.
