    The point is, not everyone who lives there is a “cousinfucker”. In fact there are many lgbtq+ people effected by this.

    Majority vote does not equal everyone.

      I’m gonna massively contribute to this discussion by saying that it’s “affected” instead of “effected” :D

      And some text to spare anyone the need to look up the difference:

      • affected - meaning that something was influenced or changed (e.g. the lyrics affected him)
      • effected - meaning that something was brought about or facilitated (e.g. she effected the proposed changes)

      And a mnemonic I stumbled across while looking up the exact difference:
      “Affect is an Action. Effect is an End Result.”

      Well, and thus a few minutes of my nightly time go by. Hm.
