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.
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.

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.

So you’re one of those “it’s ok to be queer I just don’t want to see it” folks?

Every conversation you have involves the topic of being queer? Wait a minute, do you think Rorschach is that guy who always draws penises?
You calling them alphabet soup people and then turning around and saying oh but I have no problem with them lmao
Gtfo you bigoted cunt lol
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.

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.
