NB has never been a safe haven for queer people, but the brazenness of homophobes and transphobes has increased dramatically since Premier Higgs' attack on trans youth and policy 713.

I personally know quite a few drag performers in the province, and every single one of them consistently receives death threats and harassment on their social media.

If you vote conservative, fuck you. The rhetoric of the Conservatives (both provincially in NB and federally) is directly influencing the rise of hate crimes towards people I love. If you still support these political parties, you are either uninformed to a ridiculous degree (in which case, please educate yourself before giving your support to people) or you're a shitstain on society.
