“Today, I’m proud to sign landmark legislation expanding on my administration’s work to make Illinois a safe, empowering, and inclusive place for the LGBTQ+ community,” Pritzker wrote on social media. “With my signature, we are a few steps closer to a state where all can live their lives without fear of hate.”

Pritzker then posted a video of himself touting the bills as he prepared to march in Chicago’s Pride Parade. “It’s very important to me that we have a state that stands up and protects the people who live here,” he said. “So I’m very happy, very proud, frankly, to live in the state of Illinois. I hope you are, too.”

Oh wow! The USA has been such a pit of despair about this recently (especially in the Midwest). It’s really nice to see this beacon of hope amongst a hateful pit of a region.

    Either you don’t know what literally means, this comment was for someone else, or you struggle reading plain text.

      If you made a billion winning the lottery multiple times did you hurt someone? What if you mined 1k coins for cheap in 2011?

        That hypothetical does not exist.

        And that’s the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire

          Idk there’s some odd Bitcoin owners out there. That being said, this was mainly in jest (I should be clear)

            Though I would like it more if people cited claims for the accusations. I feel like it would travel a bit further then “money” = “bad” Especially in a capitalist country I find it a bit one note.

            We gave most of our coins away to Sean’s Outpost.

            Again, that’s the difference between a billionate and a millionaire
