They don't need to win every time. Oppressors only need to get their foot in the door, and they don't stop trying.

Unfortunately once we win they don't need to lose once - they need to lose every time to keep those guaranteed liberties from being rolled back.
When we fight, we can win. Get active and get involved
The father of computation, Alan Turing, was gay and killed for being gay. No republican in this world, or whoever is homophobic/anti-LGBT, deserves to enjoy a computer or the internet. Fuck them for using the invention of a gay man to cause harm to people like him, fuck their freedom and whatever the fuck they're going to cry about this

"only a few of the bills that cause material pain or suffering for no reason passed!"
Getting stabbed less than the amount someone wanted to stab you doesn't feel like a win. Losing less would fit better.
Glad it is failing so much.
Yeah, it's great for queer folks in blue states. But as a trans person in a red state, I still get worried about if I'm gonna stop being able to get my meds one day. If my neighbors will find out and suddenly stop treating me with general kindness and start treating me as a freak. Or if this'll be the time when I get yelled at going to a public bathroom. I went on a car trip to a different city this weekend, and I was terrified to take stops to pee because, even though I generally pass, some people are still assholes. Usually, it just means being stared at, something I can see people doing because I wear mirrored sunglasses, but one day, I might be yelled at or called something. And my state is working on banning my bathroom use in multiple public settings, so one day, I might have to be scared of having the cops called on me.
So, while I'm glad there's been failures, a lot of failures, but 80 is still way too many. Tons of queer folk have to live under the threat of this and it's fucking bigotry and all should be failing.
Edit addition: I'm also disabled and walk with a cane so I get stares by just being a young person using a cane, so I'm usually being stared at for that. But there's definitely bigots in there who clock me.
