    I'm laughing at your ignorance toward how the world works. You got sold on star trek and think that's our future...oh that's cute.

    Then you also managed to gloss over the reality of what I said about migrants from the middle east and other places where gay people are really not that welcome...and you seem to think I'm the problem?

    Lol

    At any rate, ya. People don't like this **** shoved in their faces. They will react. And you can be confused by that or blame it on conservatives...but at the end of the day human nature is what it is.

    One would think before asking for extra opinions that you’d at least be willing and able to handle the one first presented to you by which the rest of this thread is predicated upon.

    instead, it just seems to be a dodge on the linked source and begging someone to give you an easier argument to go after. Kinda sad

    I agree that the ultimate goal of the RW propaganda is to foment hate and violence against the LGBT.

    Who else would you blame if the hate and violence is coming from their ranks. Sounds like you are pre-emptively blaming the victims, not the perpetrators. I don't think conservatives will resort to violence, but the populist pseudo-cons probably will.

    I don't think it's a conservative progressive issue.

    Progressives make up half the country, and I've seen parents in progressive communities absolutely not happy about trans reading hour with their children

    I have no idea where this is coming from. I do think we can make improvements to our society to better the lives of the average citizen but that’s about it.

    If you are having to compare yourself to some of the worst people on the planet to make yourself not look like a problem then that is pretty much your answer.

    A small percent of the population is upset that gay people exist. I don’t really care what they like or don’t like. If they “react” with violence I hope they meet a substantial resisting force.

    Violence has been the catalyst of substantial changes throughout history — if your side does resort to violence because you don’t like other people existing then hopefully that will lead to societal change and a national movement against such hate.

    The only personal commentary from the op was:
    Get woke, go broke. It's a price the Targets/Anheuser-Bush/Disneys of the world are delighted to pay. Loathing & contempt for anyone who won't guzzle from the woke firehose: it's baked into their business model.

    If you believe that is a valid argument, much less one that presents itself with any nuance or difficulty to address then that tells more about your position than it does anything else.

    I will no longer be responding to anymore of your complaints on my question unless a narrative is added. Cheers.

    You’re rehashing what we’ve already gone over. The OP is referencing a source, and that source accurately reflects the position that you are asking everyone else to articulate in ways you are better able to argue in your typical and predictable ways you do. It’s kinda weird. Anyways, have fun

    Oh you are wanting me to refer to the blaze article that includes numerous lies including the one that have been debunked numerous times that there were children’s tuck swimsuits.

    There was a reason I was asking for people personal opinions and not ones from such sources of propaganda. But if you want me to take it from that article and your desire to push that article as the sole reason behind this — that would mean it’s built on lies and propaganda.

    Which is what I thought the position was to begin with. Thanks for the clarity.

    It never said children’s tuck swimsuits. So you don’t even know what it said. But here you are saying it’s all wrong yet you can’t even get that simple factoid right.

    like I said, you should at least be able to handle the OPs source before asking for more comers.

    I think it's marvelous that you can't possibly fathom that maybe...just maybe the gay **** being shoved down everyone's throats might possibly cause people to lash out?

    Conservatives don't care that you are gay. Live and let live. Jam that ****ing flag down everyone's throat however, and you might get a negative reaction.

    It's a cult dedicated to queering children.

    LGBT is a culture of death. It should not be supported by the government. It should also be opposed by general public.

    You think they are going to kill you? They are not, so why not live and let live

    How is it 'supported'?

    [quote)It should also be opposed by general public.[/QUOTE]I get it. You're a Muslim, aren't you?

    Gay couples cannot have children, promoting gay culture leads to the death of society.

    Government provides monetary benefits for strictly private activities so called "gay sex". Private activity should not be rewarded with public funds.

    Exactly, and therefore its silly to make top priority out of trying to drive them back in the closet.

    It's also silly to turn the world inside out to save their feelings.

    Has the world been turned inside out? I have not noticed, except if I tune to RW MSM which rarely talks about anything else

    So you didn’t bother to read the article, that featured an obvious lie — and you are still dodging why this is such an issue for you. How absolutely ****ing pathetic.

    Here, I’ll highly it for you since it is presenting such an issue.

    Yeh, you don’t care at all — that’s why you are throwing around threats of violence.

    Do you hear yourself?

    Because everyone else here does.

    I'm not threatening you. I just acknowledge cause and effect. I'm not confused as to why people react the way they do.

    If you think that shoving the pride flag and trans **** everywhere is gonna create bridges...lol.

    No. It's going to annoy people who would otherwise not give a damn

    Actually the population is going down big time, especially in those places where gay culture is promoted by the government.
    We currently do not have enough young people to work.

    I think it is the children's line that has everyone upset. The right never made issue of gay pride shirts being sold anywhere.

    Even staunch right wingers no longer care about adult homosexuality. But many believe it is a result of nurture as well as nature and they don't think children should be influenced by large publicly held corporations.

    But organized religion is A-OK by them, no matter what kind of toxic rot they fill kids' heads with.
