It's a sickness that makes our country one of the worst in the entire world. In Utah, you can register as a democrat, but you can't cast a vote as a democrat, they will not give ballots to registered democrats in Salt Lake or anywhere else in the state.

What? Is that legal?

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's legal when the Republican controlled legislator says it is, and after they are the ones who make all the laws here.

That's insane

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yep. That's Utah. They're actually considering putting gay people in jail for "sodomy" without necessity of any jury trial (that is actually bill before our current legislature). You must realize, if it can happen here, it will probably spread to other states also.

Yeah luckily though I live in California so probably won't happen here at least I hope it doesnt me being a gay person

You're very lucky to live there. I lived for two years in Santa Cruz and felt like it was really my home. I was in a gay relationship (long term) and we moved to California mostly because he wanted to. But I fell in love with Santa Cruz, got a good job in San Jose and wanted to stay, but he eventually persuaded me into moving back to Utah - then years later, dumped me and left me here. >:( And I'm damn mad about it, but may get the opportunity to move soon. And I'll never come back to Utah under any circumstances.

Oooof I'm sorry hopefully you do soon :)

It'll be fairly soon, but I don't know where just yet. Thanks for the positive feedback!
