    This specific law can fuck off, but this specific act can also fuck off. Were you trying to start some shit? Intent is an important element, and it seems clear you were trying to start some shit.

    Like if someone buys used books and tears out pages to start their fireplace, whatever. But if they specifically buy queer literature, and make a big show of burning it in public because it’s queer, and scream ‘fuck all queer people’ while doing it - that’s a different thing. The form of expression is secondary to what you are expressing.

    In the US, there’s no legal difference between a march for voting rights and the KKK parading through a Jewish neighborhood. Guess how that’s going for us.
