Will The US Get Infected With More Hate.

Besides book burning and the increase in hate crimes and discrimination the right is getting more aggressive against LGBTQ. I wouldn’t doubt that we see something like this here in the US.

KYIV—A Ukrainian film director of Armenian origin, 29-year-old Khachatur Vasilian, is facing a wave of vicious attacks from pro-Russia politicians and neo-Nazi thugs alike for his new film, My Young Prince, an artful movie about a gay teenager who falls in love with another man.

When the film, which is set to debut in 2023, was announced earlier this year, Vasilian and his team were well aware that they might face backlash—especially from Ukraine’s far-right circles. What he didn’t expect was that his life would be threatened, not only for being the first Ukrainian director to film men making love, but also for being ethnically Armenian and non-Slav.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see protests at LGBTQ+ film festivals, or at LGBTQ+ night clubs conservative states,
The Telegram post brought dozens of far-right radicals together. Crowds of them dressed in black walked the streets of Kyiv holding a long banner that read: “Death.” They shot firecrackers and chanted, “Death to the rich!” and put a sign in front of the Closer nightclub that read “Nayem Shop,” a racist reference to Mustafa Nayem, a corruption-fighter, journalist, and politician of Afghan origin who serves as Ukraine’s deputy minister of infrastructure.

SOFIA -- Furniture, some of it smashed and streaked with black spray paint, lays scattered about the Rainbow Hub in Sofia, a chilling reminder of the violent attack on the LGBT center last weekend.

Located in an apartment block in the Bulgarian capital, the Rainbow Hub was hosting a gathering on October 30 when a group of about 10 men barged in and proceeded to smash and destroy anything in their way.

The mob was allegedly led by Boyan Rasate, a notorious ultraright figure in Bulgaria who is also running in the country's presidential election on November 14.
[…]
The attack on the Rainbow Hub has been condemned not only across the Bulgarian political spectrum but by several embassies in Sofia, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
I am worried that we will start seeing violence directed at us as conservative frustrations mount, as the conservatives look to create more hate to divide our country. We now have politicians who are calling us pedophiles and our books porngraphic. What is next? 

VOTE! That is the only way out. We have to get out the vote, the Republicans don't want you to vote and we have to show them at the polls.
