How they plan to enforce this lol. Putting cameras in people's bedrooms? They will have gay sex in the kitchen. The infrastructure to support enforcing something like this is insane, you need to get some thought police or something like 1984, where your own family helps the regime.
It'll be like prohibition.
They'll be secret gay bars that you can only access if you go into the hardware section in the mall. The mafia will engage in positive action hiring and "Big" Tony will be running the operation.
The mafia historically owned a lot of gay bars, including Stonewall.
History books will answer that. It will be all abt accusations like the mid 1900s. Cops posing as gays to trap gays for trying to fuck said cop, baseless accusations and innocent ppl going to jail. There would probably be one line in a random EO that prohibits gay bars so cops would start raids and so on.
As I was reading your comment, I was thinking "nah, they wouldn't descent into a full police state like that, it's hyperbolic", but then, it hit me, ICE is already doing the same and Americans are just tolerating it. Yeah, you might be right, America really is on the way of becoming a full fledged police state of cartoon villain proportions.
But hey, at least it's not the commies /s
Its not any different than the Salem Witch Trials. People would just report people they didn't like.
Thats the thing tho. I didn't speculate anything. Everything i said happened in recent history. Look into anti gay law enforcement in the 50s-70s. That shit litrteslly happened.
Jesus, what an awful job it would be to be a cop whose job it was to entrap gay people.
We've only had 'legal' bumdiggery for what, 30 years now? A lot of places didn't even take the laws off the books, just said they are now not being enforced. Well, a certain segment of the population is gleefully rubbing their hands about that.
Fuck them. And not in the feel good way.
