from the unbelievable dept.

Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    Maybe you thought you were joking or making an absurd example?

    Now in "modern times" in several different parts of Europe (multiple areas in many different countries) unfortunate people in their home countries have to dye their hair from reds (everything from auburn to ginger) or blonds (light or dark) to black in order to be left somewhat alone from aggression (rape, robbery, murder, general harassment). Not everyone can simply move away (and to where ultimately?).

    Saying it because maybe people still don't know and are stuck in a 1970ies (or 50ies or 16th century) world.
