    There was the whole thing about payment processors raising a stink because of Steam, which is comparable and I have no evidence Dementia Don simps were not somehow involved, since this was started via some republican christofascist Karen association. But even if that does not suffice it for you, I’m not wondering about to the present situation, I’m wondering about the situation of when (not if) it happens in the future.

        It seems to be one set of cards, as a part or a deck. Its pretty much a nothing burger.

          That was done by Australians and had nothing to do with the US government. Stick to the facts.

              “Non-traditional”? Homosexuality has been around and recorded since the Romans and even prior. 2000+ years isn’t traditional? That’s just as long as Christianity.

                    Im “intolerant” of nothing.

                    I tolerate sexual deviance just dandy

                    Not supporting and not tolerating are very different

                        So what you are essentially saying is that you want to persecute LGBT people.

                          Clearly not if you think said “sexual deviance” should have its culture shuttered by state force.

                            It’s called “complying with the law”.

                            Russia issued a lot of legal requirements that don’t make sense. For example they at some point asked more money than we have on the planet, from Google.

                            Complying with the law on a territory not controlled by sensible human beings should be considered questionable at the very least.

                                Well, I mean you can, but the stupidity continues to pain me physically…

                                It may please you, but if im victim of much more stupid, I may have an intentional seizure/heart attack… either way, i pray to God to help me through this

                                  There’s no misinterpretation. You openly support the state banning LGBT expression. That’s a form of persecution.

                                  If the government demanded that Christian-themed games be banned, that would be persecution to Christians. This is no different.

                                  Why shouldn’t a Solitaire game be allowed to have LGBT skins or themes?
