I'm just waiting until they remember why borders are a thing that exists.

this isn't for the safety of kids; it's to eliminate the ability for queer kids to find a community.

I am so, so glad to see that at least one country in the world is willing to tackle this problem.

Also a little depressed that every comment thread about this law boils down to: "It's hard. Might as well not do it at all," especially from people who (rightly) think we need to ban guns every time a school gets shot up here in the US, which would be monumentally difficult socially but 100% needs to happen.
