Tw: Cursing, Abortion, Politics, Death, Human Rights, Protests (probably more ngl)
Right so I see everyone has pretty much covered the abortion thing in America which is absolutely disgusting and I cannot believe that was actually passed but I’m not here to talk about my thoughts on that instead I’m here to talk about the fact that the UK government has decided it’s going to amend the human rights act into something that is entirely the opposite of having rights. They want to make it so that opposing the government will be illegal and so speaking out against them would be fucking punishable.
With how things are going in America this is only looking one way for the future of the UK if the government is able to pass this law. It also leads to me to question how this would look for LGBTQ+ people (me included) as this means the government could basically take away rights from people “they don’t deem fit to have them.” Protests for rights of LGBTQ+ people in the UK lead to many deaths and I cannot believe that this could be easily wrote off by the government. I can feel the people who protested and died for our rights rolling over in their grave, they didn’t die for us to have our fucking rights revoked because of a shit government that doesn’t know what they’re doing.
The government already passed a law about protests here and that’s fucking terrifying. If they’re willing to do that what else are they willing to do? All because the European Human Rights Court told them they weren’t allowed to ban people from migrating to our country and weren’t allowed to deport them if they did. It’s disgusting and it really makes me worry for my own future, I genuinely truly hope that this law doesn’t get passed because it isn’t looking good for anyone if it is (not saying that as to just LGBTQ+ people but all minority groups.)
