(45,319 posts)I read posts from straight white folks like yourself with a sort of awe. Because you don't even understand how much of my earnings have been unfairly taxed for my entire life due to bigoted tax laws. Because of that inequality, I did not have the opportunity to invest that money or to save it, or to spend it on education or travel or toys. My straight counterparts got those opportunities, but not me.
You don't get it. At all. Without equality, all things are remain unequal, including opportunity, expenses and geographic options. 29 States do not offer protections to some of us in housing or employment. More than half the country is not really open and free to us. You get the whole nation, I get 21 States and the rest are not really available to us.
Jesus. The fact that the majority does this shit to us is bad enough, realizing that they don't even know what they are doing to us is chilling.
