My very own anecdote.

I have an LGBTQ child. Smart, hardworking, compassionate, gifted, caring, loving, competent are all decriptors that could be used for my child.

My very own brother, who claims to "love my child as his own", became a Donnie Dipshit sychophant.

I asked him; " how can you support a man and party that would destroy my child"? "How can you support a party that wants to deny my child a place in society and maybe even criminalize them"?

He said; "Oh, that will NEVER happen. If anyone comes after _________, I will defend them!

So, there's my own brother telling me; "don't worry, if the power of the State comes after my child, that's OK, because he will defend them

Haven't spoken to him since.
