“Today, I’m proud to sign landmark legislation expanding on my administration’s work to make Illinois a safe, empowering, and inclusive place for the LGBTQ+ community,” Pritzker wrote on social media. “With my signature, we are a few steps closer to a state where all can live their lives without fear of hate.”

Pritzker then posted a video of himself touting the bills as he prepared to march in Chicago’s Pride Parade. “It’s very important to me that we have a state that stands up and protects the people who live here,” he said. “So I’m very happy, very proud, frankly, to live in the state of Illinois. I hope you are, too.”

Oh wow! The USA has been such a pit of despair about this recently (especially in the Midwest). It’s really nice to see this beacon of hope amongst a hateful pit of a region.

    For him to be a billionaire means he exploited workers for profit. He did one good thing, it doesn’t make him good.

    Broken clock and all.

      You literally admit you don’t know what you’re talking about and you get 20 up votes

      Damn, this is an echo chamber

        Either you don’t know what literally means, this comment was for someone else, or you struggle reading plain text.

          If you made a billion winning the lottery multiple times did you hurt someone? What if you mined 1k coins for cheap in 2011?

            That hypothetical does not exist.

            And that’s the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire

              Idk there’s some odd Bitcoin owners out there. That being said, this was mainly in jest (I should be clear)

                Though I would like it more if people cited claims for the accusations. I feel like it would travel a bit further then “money” = “bad” Especially in a capitalist country I find it a bit one note.

                We gave most of our coins away to Sean’s Outpost.

                Again, that’s the difference between a billionate and a millionaire
