I just want to point out that people moved without any money back in the day. Now we play it safe. We save money. We find an apartment, a job and then we move.

Now we play it safe. We save money. We find an apartment, a job and then we move. We live comfortably now and we don't want to lose that when moving. You can even see it today with people from certain parts of the world. They leave with nothing else than maybe a 20 dollar phone hoping they'll be able to call their family once they get somewhere.
- dillondoyle 5y agoBut queer people don't always have families, especially back in the day. So many were kicked out, ostracized, cut off. RuPaul is correct when she says queer people create their own family. Even today.
- Darmody 5y agoI was purely talking about moving to another place.
- dillondoyle 5y agoyou specifically said 'hoping they'll be able to call their family once they get somewhere.'
- seneca 5y agoAnd that has almost nothing to do with the actual point they were making.
- Darmody 5y agoOh god, do I really have to explain that part? I gave an example of how some people move to another country with only a 20 dollar phone. I could've said with 20 dollars in their pockets or with a couple t-shirts in a bag. You're supposed to be smart people and...nevermind, I deleted what I wrote because it's not worth it. It's increasingly difficult to talk to leftists on the internet, they take the most meaningless comment as an attack or a literal fact and they they try to downvote you or argue stupid things. Not worth my time.
