@juv3nal@phire.place That's fair. I'd still be actually against it on the grounds that if you start making sexual orientation a factor for immigration, a future government could do the exact opposite and e.g. ban LGBTQ+ from coming in. That's a precedent I'd rather not have on the books. Actual persecution is what should matter, for whatever reason. And the very first step should be to simply strike the US from any and all lists of "safe third countries". Using LGBTQ+ persecution as a _reason_ for doing this - definitely fine and correct - may also want to name PoC and Hispanics in particular as well. Just the _action_ shouldn't be that closely limited, as it has been shown the US cannot be trusted. This petition might be a good first step, but if things go badly, it may set an even worse precedent for a future government. That's my fear here.
