    What happened to “f*** your feelings” that the right wing was screaming for 4 years? That didn’t play out very well did it?

    It isn't just conservatives now. Unless conservatives represent 71 percent of the population now.

    They wish they did. Seeing that they haven’t been able to get the popular vote in a decade shows they are not even the majority.

    71% of what?

    I have constitutional right not to like gay flags and gay parades, government have constitutional responsibility not to force me to like activities that is 100% private and have nothing to do with the government.
    Displaying gay flag is essentially enforcement of gay politics, including parades.

    Americans do not support this transgender agenda. Go look in the other thread.

    If it is government policy then government is asking you to like it.
    Large corporations (government sponsored institutions) force people to participate in gay month.
    You know what happens to people who dislike homosexual politics.
    Just google it.

    No one is forcing me to do anything.

    Let me guess, - they'll force you to have gay sex. That's it, isn't it?

    Could it be that you just like seeing yourself as a victim who is forced to do all kinds of things?

    Have a nice day. Enough of this.

    You are not the one who desides how I should feel or think.
    If government prosecute people for opposition to gay culture, it is gay culture enforcement.
    As always you have zero arguments, only emotions.

    Correct, you decide, and you have decided to feel off-the-charts offended by existence of gays

    I'm not the one who has made 100 posts to complain about how offended you feel. Its you, not me. I know there are gay people out there, but it does not stir any emotions in me. Absolutely none. Live and let live.

    Yea, but I am not complaining about gays, the issue is that government forces me to like gays.

    Oh the one that I asked you (I believe it was you at least) the breakdown of the two polling questions which would show drastically different results only to be ignored?

    That one?

    Of course you are and no one cares if you like gays — we only care when you try to deprive them of rights.

    Wasn't me

    But if you'd like I can definitely show you a stark rise in hate crimes towards the LGBT.

    Would that make you feel better?

    Fascists right wingers are violent? Na, you don’t need to prove that. Do you think it is higher now vs what they faced in the Holocaust?

    Btw, the thread in question with the 71% figure is likely people opposed to surgical procedures on minors — of which I am one. That doesn’t mean I don’t support equal rights for trans people including against those committing violence against them for simply existing.

    Here's your diversity you wanted!

    Enjoy!

    Ironic, isn't it? The "ma diversity is our strength" but in reality all the people we have to flood into the country to make up for our society's inability to procreate at a replacement level are people who don't like our society.

    Nobody has said trans people can't exist or have rights. We are just tired of the trans **** shoved in our faces. The non binary bullshit. The pride flag everywhere. Pride parades and the gd pride month. ****. Go live your lives and leave the rest of us alone.

    True, I'm about fed up with all the months celebrating the perversions of our culture. I suggest something more wholesome, a month of celebtation for white, straight, moral, Christian men. I'm in.

    I'm tolerant of anyone's sexuality. But I'm fed up as well. The redefining of words like woman or gender. Forcing normal people to bend reality around the fringe minority for fear they would hurt themselves. The ****ing pride flag everywhere. A *******n month of this ****. But when you push it into the schools, you've crossed a line.

    I'm absolutely content watching this tire fire burn and blow up in the face of any progressive pushing this ****.

    No one was stunned that religious extremists are finding common ground with other religious extremists. Are you serious?

    You are incorrect, there are tons of people on your side that call for the eradication of the LGBT community not only in public spaces but some going as far as in private spaces.

    In your ideal word, what would that look like?
    Would pride flags be allowed on private property? Could stores sell merchandise? Could a gay teacher have a photo of their spouse? Could cities celebrate pride? Could companies? Could gay characters be in movies? Could their be romantic interest?

    Or is it just they can exist but you don’t want to ever see it, hear it, or know that it exists.

    Who is stopping you?
    Do it
    Have you a parade.

    Just don’t do it to mock other groups or it will fail like the last “straight pride” did. But that’s the point — isn’t it. To bash other groups.

    Looks like if you actually thought your “culture” was worth celebrating it would only be your culture and not an anti-event.

    You simply stating it is unconstitutional privileges doesn’t make it so.

    Can you identify what unconstitutional special right gay people have that is not afforded to any other group? And then please identify what part of the constitution you feel it violates.

    Fake news. Far more of the LBG folks hate the grooming and sexualizing of children just as much as the rest of us.

    'Groups like the LGB Alliance and Gays Against Groomers, speaking out against the sexualization and medicalization of children and the excesses of gender identity ideology, have launched and are growing. HB6638 has nothing to do with “being more inclusive” or “modernizing the definition” of sexual orientation. This is about imposing an agenda which few understand but many support in the tribal spirit of our times. I urge caution in proceeding further into these troubled waters.'

    Woke Target's $15B 'stunning collapse' should be a warning to CEOs: 'Shark Tank' star.

    'Corporate boards long tasked with fiduciary responsibilities to their shareholders are scrutinizing how Target allowed itself to become embroiled in social scandal big enough to cause a nearly $15 billion loss in market cap'

    'the job of a business -- particularly from the perspective of an investor -- and those that are retired, for example, that own the S&P 500 or own Target stock – are concerned that maybe they're losing their way in terms of what the prime objective is: your customers, your employees, and your shareholders."'

    '"And so if you start to get too distant or too far away from the primary mandate, the market has proven itself to really, really punish you. And it's woken up all kinds of boards," O'Leary stressed.'

    TARGET BACKS ORG PUSHING US DEMILITARIZATION, MT RUSHMORE SHUTDOWN

    'He pointed to Anheuser-Busch, which he noted built Bud Light to be America's top-selling beer in its category over decades, only to see the brand destroyed in "32 hours" after it partnered with transgender socialite Dylan Mulvaney.'

    "When you lose $11 billion of market cap, there're a lot of unhappy cowboys out there. They're called your investors."

    'Elon Musk publicly predicted class-action lawsuits by Target shareholders, in response to a report that JPMorgan just downgraded the company's stock.'
