This is one of those times where I’m glad it happened but, I don’t really wanna congratulate the people that did it because up until this point they were making certain people illegal just because of the way they were born. All I can muster is: good first step; keep moving in that direction.

There is a sub for exactly this type of story. Good news that’s only happening because something was really fucked up in the first place. I can’t remember the name rn lol but I will try to find it.

Edit: it was r/orphancrushingmachine

Shout out to u/loversalibi

I would say it isn't orphancrushingmachine, as this is an example of the orphancrushingmachine being stopped

Yeah I guess orphancrushingmachine is more about how people celebrate fixing systemic problems with short term or case-specific solutions instead of fixing the system itself, which isn’t quite this.

It still feels similar because while they are decriminalizing it, they aren’t really fixing the system of oppression because it’s still illegal.
