Why should people get grants because of who they choose to sleep with?


Why should people not get specific needs cared for, to exist for instance, because of who they choose to sleep with? I think that question precedes yours in priority.


Could you give me an example of someone whose sexual preferences mean they are unable to "exist" unless they have a government grant?


A friend of mine got a stone thrown to his head because he was holding hands with someone from the same sex.

He barely survived and today, I think 10 years later, he still suffers from severe migraines and doesn't have movement in half his body.

And I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me. I sometimes also don't believe this happened, that that was just a bad dream. That we actually need laws to prevent people from killing each other just because.


Because they're a usefully distinct group from the point of view of epidemiological studies.


Iirc, lgbtq removal involved removing gender studies and pages regarding sexual and women's health. It hadn't to do with grants
