Reply to comment by k1lk1 in LGBTQ+ Seniors to Have Access to Expanded Services in N.Y. by wdcmsnbcgay

Idk, it seems nice. LGBT people aging right now, who lived through Stonewall and oppression, or still alive with HIV, didn't live such a great life. I guess it was okay to give boomers unlimited pensions and reap the benefits of the age of excess but it's bad to let HIV elders die with dignity or make it easier for poor old people to access meals. Also what exactly does the state government have to do with NYC trash handling?

Do you think it's legal under the civil rights act of 1964 for the government to distribute resources differently based on immutable identity? The answer is yes, but does it follow the spirit of that law and what precedent does it set?
