To the shock of no one with empathy, the criminalization of someone's existance makes them want to die.

Of course for those that pass legislation like this they see that as a win. The cruelty is the point in their eyes.

For those in those areas who fall into those categories of people, never lose hope. Use that fear for motivation. Unite with those in your community. Only through collective action can things change for the better.
