Can’t Even Go to the Park

Update 1 (lol) Update 2 (lol) The same people who say I shouldn’t impose my morality on them, are imposing immorality on me and my children to the point that I literally have a hard time even leaving my home anymore to do something as simple as visit the park. And this is freedom? I […]
