AFAIK, currently all debit cards are US-based. Mastercard - US based, VISA - US based. We used to have girocard in Germany, but it's being phased out by most banks in favor of one of the US solutions. There used to be the EC system but as I understand it, it's gone for a while now.
Do we currently have any card-based European payment solutions? How much money do we actually give to the US just for the luxury of being able to pay by card?
And here I am, taking my children to pride events to actually develop their morals and spirit. How can it be harmful to experience that people (and my children, obviously) are loved regardless of whom they love, their gender identies or how their bodies/genitals look like?
