Best comments on the article,
The Registries, and especially, especially the adjunct idiotic laws that they have enabled and promoted (e.g. Banishment), are counterproductive, negligibly beneficial, immoral, un-American, divisive, anti-factual, diversionary, often idiotic, thieving, expensive, wasteful, and often illegal.
@ “C”: All of what you’ve addressed is the right wing conservatives way (The American Taliban).
If an RSO were to hold a speech or voice his/her concerns of their treatments, conditions, or their label misrepresentation in California, things would likely not turn out as kosher as being in Belmont, MA..
One would dare not to ID their status in order to avoid any repercussions (especially violent ones).
