    I can’t tell what this is (the comic, not the comments). On the surface it looks like a “the Right can’t meme” kind of post made to smear or otherwise disingenuously criticize gay and trans people. But then why would it be posted here? Or maybe that’s the thing— y’all do see it as that and you’re posting it due to the funny comments below the comic.

    I’m not criticizing it, I’m just wondering if I’m missing something.

      I assume the joke at the bottom is the reason it is here, with the comic as the context for the joke.

      Yes, the comic is trying to frame the person on the right as ‘forcing’ when in reality the person on the right is responding to the legally enforced discrimination from the person on the left by protesting. So trying to equate the abuser and the victim ad the same thing.
