Conservative in Florida here. No one cares. We're not some "christofascist state" or whatever other dumb statement someone wants to libel Florida with. I know a TON of conservatives—not a single one cares whether you're gay or straight. What we are tired of is constantly hearing about who people want to bang like that's a necessary topic of conversation in every single encounter (whether it's gay OR straight people). It's not a topic I need shoved in my face, or my children's face in every occasion. I've always been pro-gay. Do what you want. I couldn't care less. I was actually happy when gay marriage happened, and voted for it. But since then it's just been a continual march past acceptance into shout your sexuality. We don't need to see people dry humping each other in the streets every June to accept you—that kind of does the opposite. As for whether my kids turn out gay or straight or anything, that literally would not change my political opinion one iota, because 90% of conservatives aren't out to stop you from being gay in 2025, sorry to tell you. Maybe update your political views beyond "orange man bad" and talk to an actual conservative for once instead of calling everyone fascists.
And nobody has been hostile to the LGBTQIA+ people either. It’s when it’s shoved as a normalcy (which it is not, how much ever you want to argue). It is a unique thing and it should not be of anyone’s concern. I am all for LGBTQIA+ people just don’t shove it like the US media (Disney and others) does. That’s all we are saying.
Completely agree with you and that is exactly what I said in my earlier post. Don’t shove it in my and my kids face as if that’s the only thing in life. It’s literally tiring.
Exactly! Sorry, I skipped ahead. 🤣 For all of the people preaching nuance, acceptance, etc. they sure like to reduce people down to the two things about them that are the least interesting—race and sexuality. And yep, it's tiring. There are plenty of other more interesting things that humans do outside of what they can't change about themselves.
Biden didn't flout the USSC. The SCOTUS ruled narrowly that the law Biden was attempting to use to forgive student loans was not intended for that purpose. The SCOTUS did not rule that it's unconstitutional to forgive student debt.
Is the sum of who you are just who you prefer to bang? No one said that it can't be anywhere. We're just tired of it being everywhere—and I'm including heterosexuality too.
So Pride month is okay since it's just one month (and other things are also going on that month). And a little history of LGBTQIA+ in schools is okay as long as it's not the only history they teach. Teach that different kinds of people exist and co-exist with other different kinds of people.
No liberal says "stop shoving it down my throat", bud. We're allies to LGBTQ causes and that slur has a homosexual-hostile connotation.
Sorry but I don't want my daughter dressing in the same locker room as some confused pervert or demolishing her dreams of being on a vollyball team by some man who clearly can't compete with other men so he suddenly finds himself as a "woman".
No, that is a radical left perspective. Plenty of moderates, left or right, gay and straight, are sick of the echo chamber. Where is “stop shoving it down our throats”, a slur?? That is a new one. Radical leftists like to re-define language and what is or isn’t a slur. Who decides that? You are the arbiter of what messages are being decoded or encoded? If words have flexible meanings how could you understand what I’m saying, if you know what I mean? Weird.
I'm over the whole sex-sells thing entirely tbh. What else ya got?
I hear you. Imagine having a heterosexual month with a flag. The gays would be up in arms. They shove their agenda and any push back, you are labeled a homophobe hater. Matter of fact, they are so extreme nowadays when they get together in mass. They would chop your head off if it was legal. They hate that much when you disagree or don’t like it.
Great, that doesn't make it untrue.
