What are some causes/social issues that you aren't affected by? (kbin.melroy.org)

LGBTQ+ rights in the work force. I think I'm one of the few individuals who don't prioritize their LGBTQ orientation as my identity into my jobs. I know that people getting fired over their identity is an issue, but it's something that doesn't affect me because I don't parade my identity. I don't feel it is my job's business to know it either, I go to work, do the work, they pay me to do the work and that's the bottom line of our relationship, period.

We don't need to complicate things because I'm X identity and they need to get into Y politics over it.

My parents claim there is rampant discrimination and racism towards Russians. They're all hysterical about it, claiming that they need to stow away all their money in a russian bank before the German government starts persecuting them "like they did with the Jews" (yea, literal quote). I'm doubtful that it's as bad as they claim ๐Ÿค”
