They fined him with stage 4 cancer? That must be some sort of cruel and unusual punishment, right?
I think I just filled out my keyword bingo card from that headline alone
The check is in the mail.
“They chose to ignore five trans youth. But they didn’t choose to ignore the chair and glue I spilled on it," Lantz continued. “I remember what I endured as a closeted teen in the 1970s. I don’t want to see another LGBTQ kid die by suicide. Our kids are suffering — physically, mentally and emotionally. And I did what I felt I had to do.”
Legend.
- Now that's a proper legacy
He's not accepting donations for the fines, but he is raising money to create an advert that will spread positive messages for trans youth. This guy fucking rules.

And he's going to die soon anyway so hopefully he just strings them along and never pays the fee. Fuck the government that cares more about furniture than it does about kids and the courts that enforce the nonsense rules
- They will get their money, they'll likely come after his estate after he dies.
  
  People with stage 4 cancer usually don't have estates once they pass. It's fucking expensive to die in this country.
When they keep trying to force punishments on people who have nothing to loose they are only fostering the next Luigi.
- How else do you think they want to kick off the civil war?
  
  Sometimes, even when you know it's a trap, it's still worth doing the thing.
Angry gay grandpa is amazing
LoL, yo Gay Granpa, don't pay. What're they gonna do?
Does it matter he’s a gay grandpa?
- He has a website called Angry Gay Grandpa. He’d like to be identified as such, it’s his brand.
  
  Ah got it
