What is social justice even
Like who needs to be arrested that justice must be served
Suicide is certainly an issue, absolutely a social issue, but social justice? Nah man. That insinuates that it's a job for the courts to tackle.

@realcaseyrollins I think it has to do with the fact that lgbtqia+ folks are more likely to commit suicide because they are less accepted.
Also, the courts should definitively get involved in this by making laws against cyber bullying, and banning conversion therapy, which is plainly atrocious and child abuse.
@louiscouture ohhhh I thought we were supposed to care about the suicides of straight people too 🤦🏾♂️
@realcaseyrollins I never said I this.
The thing is, since lgbt folks are more likely to commit suicide than straight people, then it makes suicide a social justice problem. It’s the same reason why police shooting is a social justice issue, because while white people can get shot by the police too, it significantly happens more to black people.
1. While non-hets are more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals, there are far more heterosexuals, so more hetetosexuals are committing suicide more than homosexuals
2. The original image was about suicide in general, not the suicide of homosexuals specifically. Making me wonder why it's a social justice issue.
1. That's in part why 'Per Capita' is used in place of raw numbers.
