    Class War never went away, but they only call it Class War when the poor fight back. Otherwise it is just “business as usual”.

    Absolutely nobody is against Christmas. Even people who don’t like Christmas are cool with others celebrating it. Like 90% of people who say “Happy Holidays” celebrate Christmas. But the right wing confuses inclusion of others with an attack on the majority.

      I mean I’m more against Christmas for the idea you need to buy gifts, and “you gotta be happy, its the one day a year to be happy!”

      But I dislike that for every holiday, not because it involves Christ or anyone else.

      To be fair, there’s are way too many people who freak out if you put your tree up “too soon” or take it down “too late” for their personal taste. These may be the same people who worry about who’s sleeping with who, while none of affects them.

    Maybe one day alphabet soup people will learn that everyone is entitled to their own opinions?

    The constant preaching of “pride” and “acceptance” pushed more people away than it gained.

      I’m sorry - what strategy finally got us gay marriage?

      In case you didn’t realize, it hasn’t even been legal for 10 years. For real. It will have been legal for 10 years 2 months from now.

      I want you to explain to me how hiding and not talking about it was going to make it happen. Go on. Let’s hear it.

        I’m sorry - what strategy finally got us gay marriage?

        Gay marriage is presently legal in the US at a federal level due to a Supreme Court ruling, not a law. It seems inevitable that this will change given the present makeup of the court, similar to abortion.

        I am all for LGBTQ rights, but until something is passed by Congress the current situation seems precarious.

          Who said it was about a law?

          The whole point was that queer people were out and loud and demanding to be seen.

          You’re talking about a completely different issue.

        Yeah, then you guys did it for… how many years afterwards?

        it hasn’t even been legal for 10 years.

        So… 9ish years of preaching? I’d say around the 5 year mark is when it started to get annoying, add that 4 years and then it deliberately gets blocked from the feed.

            “it’s ok to be queer I just don’t want to see it” hear about it every waking second in every conversation.”

              Believe it or not, I am with you. It’s so annoying to listen to people’s stories and hear their difficulties in an empathetic way.

              I wish we didn’t need to hear about it every waking second for people to get it through their skulls that people can live different lives and it doesn’t hurt anyone. Talking about it all the time, the pride parades, the talks about acceptance is all transitional. Once there is widespread acceptance in general, there will be no need for that sort of thing, as they would no longer be an oppressed group. Then you will hear about it as often as people bring up Jesus, or sportsball or anything else that people devote their entire personality to in a really annoying way.

              Where are you that it’s in every conversation?

              Do you object to seeing cishet husbands and wives on the street holding hands? Couples kissing in movies and shows?

              You’re just a bigot. These people aren’t doing anything to you. They’re just living their lives like you and me.

      The opinion OP is referring to: That LGBT+ people shouldnt exist.

      Your opinion sucks and should be not be treated with respect. If that ‘pushes people away’ then theyre shitty people who can’t accept the rights of others and are beyond reasoning with.

        His handlers are just using it as a distraction from the class war. Trump is too dumb and fried to think with that level of intention.

        Trump throws out all sorts of bullshit as trial balloons. If he gets too much pushback from conservatives or his advisors convince him it’s a bad idea, then it was just a joke to troll the libs, and Democrats are stupid for taking it seriously. If conservatives like the idea, then he does it, no matter how illegal or unconstitutional it is.

        Trump is Schrodinger’s asshole. Every stupid vicious idea he suggests is simultaneously a joke and dead serious. It’s exhausting.

      I can’t remember if this was said to me or if I overheard it. Maybe I’m fabricating the memory entirely, but in any case, I recall a conversation where someone said almost exactly what you did in that last sentence. The reply was of course

      “Well someone always gets hurt.”

      “What do you mean?”

      “It costs someone money to put those bathrooms in.”

      Cue the “what the fuck did I just hear” alarms

        In many public places, they just designated some of the bathrooms that were already there gender neutral

        Wait, did they think the bathrooms were special and cost money? Many places just slap a paper “gender neutral” sign on their washrooms and call it a day until a nicer sign can come in. The really good places knew this shit ages ago and already saved themselves the trouble by putting in a shared sink area and having stalls with real doors. As someone who has literally had to fit washrooms into floor plans I can guarantee that if cost and ease were problems then we’d only have gender neutral washrooms.
