The big thing these days is to brand the right as being hateful to the LGBTQ community. We're not. Years ago I wrote a piece here telling the gay community simply to go in peace.
For Pete's sake I have a TG nephew that I enjoy. He outright sucked at being a chick and now he's a pretty good dude to go fishing with. Of course he's smart enough to quietly just go about his business with no pomp, circumstance or other useless bull$hit.
We're just tired of your $hit. We don't care what you do so long as you keep it out of our faces and away from kids.
That's about it.
We're not interested in your stupid parades and you have no business
in schools. Let the kids be kind and discover themselves in their own time.
Collectively we don't hate any particular group other than those that want to destroy our liberties or way of life. Most of us have gay or minority friends and simply judge based on the content of one's character. I know in my case I would rather have a decent whatever living next door that some pain in the ass Karen. I'm sure I am not alone.
I have always said that in general I have no problem with anybody regardless of race, creed, color, sexuality or what have you.
What I do have a problem with are two things. First the self-appointed 'leadership' of the various groups. Whatever/whoever you are I am not going to 'celebrate' your race/minority status/lifestyle. However I generally won't hate you for it I will accept you based on the content of your character. Simply go about your business as an individual.
I will not say you are normal, either. In most cases you are not normal but that's OK. When you think about it I am probably not normal, either. (Be careful of defining normal, though or else we could ALL wind up in trouble.)
I don't deal with groups. I deal with INDIVIDUALS.
Best comment on the ongoing debate I have read in many a year. Well said, and I agree with every word.
