      Oh goodie, this again. I have to do this at least once a day on Lemmy now.

      I am moving to the UK, because I am a dual citizen.

      Every year, the king gives a speech where he lays out the government’s agenda.

      This year, it included ending conversion therapy.

      Labour is behind it. The king is behind it. The C of E is behind it. Because the C of E is behind it, even enough Tories are behind it that will happen.

      You and all of the other people claiming that my daughter is just as safe in a country with a lot of conversion therapy as she is in a country outlawing conversion therapy don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

      This may come as a shock to you, it certainly doesn’t seem to occur to all the other people like you since Wednesday, but I actually do look into shit when it comes to keeping my family safe. Because I may be an idiot, but I’m not fucking stupid.
