I can understand why all the other things would be listed here, and I would understand if sexuality in general was considered inappropriate for children, but why homosexuality in particular? This is strange to me.

      The Republican culture war being waged against the LGBT+ community should make it completely clear that your skin color or brand of religious nonsense doesn’t make you immune to bigotry.

        if the democrats would stop drumming up as much hatred as possible towards us it wouldn’t have become such a large issue in the first place, People feel like it is getting worse, because it is. People who never even cared about whether someone was gay or not now has a strong negative association towards us because democrats have the incessant need to shove it everywhere they go.

        It’s no surprise that people are starting to hate gay folk when they get shit for so much as looking away when they see gay people kiss in public. The amount of time’s I’ve had to say “I’m not one of those gay people” is absurd.

            it’s not the “far right” that’s the issue, it’s the fact that the far left is generating high amounts of animosity from anyone relatively centrist.

              “Thanks for pushing normal people to the far-right” is an overt strategy passed around 4chan and far-right chat channels, intended to both discourage the left from defending their views and create the idea that being bigoted is something “normal people” support.

                I disagree that it it’s bigoted to for instance, not like games which have rewritten characters to fit a certain demographic, whether it be sexuality or race.

                “Defending your rights” and being as loud as possible for the sake of it are 2 completely different things.

                The two closest homosexuals in my life are my favorite uncle and my best friend, that happens to be my attorney. My uncle is openly gay, my attorney is married to another woman. This has absolutely NO impact in our interactions. Why? Simple, that’s their business, and everyone in their environment understands this.

                Guess why I don’t have more gay people in my environment. Because I don’t like people, precisely because of this incessant need to be loud about irrelevant shit like sexuality. You lack so much of everything else that the only way you have to be seen is your sexual preference? That’s the saddest shit ever. That level of emptiness has to be grueling.

                If you have to be constantly “defending” your sexuality, you need to examine the environment you have chosen to participate in.

                The problem here is not sexual preference, the problem is that sexual preference, for reasons I can’t begin to understand, has become the defining factor for people, instead of principles, moral, honesty and just flat out being nice.

                When was the last time you saw a “heterosexual” parade, specially with a bunch of people swinging it all out?

                Whatever happened to “you do you, I do me”?

                  Literally the sentence before that one was you being critical of pride parades, so I guess you mean “You do you (but only with my rubber stamp of approval)”
