Today, I talked to a closeted young evangelical whose day job is to make life miserable for LGBTQIA+ folks.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.
