I have been through this rodeo several times already. It does not scare me. Release every. damn. thing. I would rather know than continue supporting a terrible person in ignorance.
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.
