There is no reason to “pick a side”. Situations like this aren’t usually black and white.

As others already did I also would challenge your (purely) conservative tag. One of the most prominent “features” of current conservatives is to remove support and even legal standing of non-traditional families.

Do you believe that family should have all the same rights, protections and support your “traditional” family has?

I would hardly call it your fuck up. You wanted to back up the data manually and were told not to - that’s on your supervisor/boss/whoever called the shots. Not on you.

Not OP, but they didn’t flee to the country just for funsies but because there’s war raging in their home country. They didn’t choose to emigrate to a certain country because they always wanted to live there but because they feared for their lives.
