Everyone thought that the long fight that gays have been struggling with was coming to a close when the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. We thought finally, gays were going to be treated equally in the eye of the law. But since Trump and his hate-filled conservative minions started their campaign against anyone who wasn’t like them, they have been polluting the country to turn back everything they hate about gays. They started promoting propaganda, spreading lies, and making gays the devil in disguise. Then after Roe v Wade the legislatures turned their conservative hate filled agenda to gays and transgender people. Just like they want to wipe out a woman’s right to have an abortion, they want to wipe out every transgender, gay, lesbian person out of existence. You begin to see it on all the social media boards, the attacks that are sponsored by the right showing up on replies and opinions.
Some of them are the classic everyday attacks from the same play book.
Here are some replies in regard to Target deciding to hide the gay pride merchandise.to the back of the store for Gay Pride festivals:
“The majority of Americans are tired of having the LGBT advertising and recruitment agenda shoved at us 24/7 are pretty sick and tired of it.”
“They just don’t get it. It demonstrates the total disgust of the Gay/trans agenda being shoved down our throats. We are constantly inundated with stories. The sports/business/government decision makers fold like cheap suits to pander to this nonsense. But the real error is those pushing this agenda while going after our kids with the support of the teacher’s union and school boards. Enough Already.”
“By extremist, does that me straight people? 95% of the population?”
“Is all of this pedophile pandering worth it? And the answer is clearly no. Crawl back into the sewers and the gay bath houses and leave normal America alone.”
“Comparing LGBQT to minorities is sick and needs to stop.”
“My daddy always said, never compromise with a preveart or your become one yourself.”
I have only Included printable content; I couldn’t post most of the obscene content.
The first gay pride didn’t have anything to do about slamming agenda down your throat. It was started by a group of people who were being prosecuted for who they were. They were being denied basic rights, always being physically attacked, and vilified by everyone in America. Stonewall, where secret police would come into clubs and bars and arrest men just because they were holding hands. We were regulated to secret places, but we could not walk the streets and be who we are. A lot of people would be very happy if we were to disappear. Then after Stonewall, people started getting upset. They marched across the countries and reminded people that we exist, we are human, and all we want is equal rights. We wanted to come out in the open and walk down the street, shopping and not to be attacked. There were so many people in the closet that couldn’t express themselves for fear of losing a job, not finding an apartment, and yes, being arrested just because of who you are. We fought for over thirty years just for they could lead their own lives. It was the pride parades that started to show people that we are human, we have feelings, we love, we pray, we go to church, we believe in families, and most of all we believe in America, and the right for every individual in the pursuit of happiness.
We thought we were getting their when celebrities, professionals, leaders, sports figures, famous movie stars, authors, writers, tv personalities started coming out of the closet that people finally started to realize that there were a lot more people who were gay. It is also because they knew these people as decent human beings, and that they were the same person as they were in the closet. There were so many people who were afraid to come out of the closet for the same fear of everyone else. Actors could not come out of the closet after having their career destroyed. Coming out gay back then was a career ending disaster, so everyone just kept their secrets in the closet, hidden from the rest of the world. That is what you people want. Another thing is that it wasn’t until people started finding out that their brother, sister, uncle, aunt, and other relatives started coming out in the closet that we were finally getting accepted as people realized that we were the same as before.
But it is the less than 20% and right-wing bullies that continue to vilify us at every chance the get, because they despise everything and anything that they do not understand or were programmed to believe by republicans and right-wingnuts. The are easy to be fooled because they do not have the God given sense to make decisions on their own.
They are the ones that are constantly putting their beliefs in our faces, not the other way around.
In 2017 I previously wrote about my 30-year struggle to live in a world as equals amongst my peers. In 2017, I thought we were finally achieving acceptance, but with the right-wing takeover of the White House, I warned everyone not to let their guard down, because they were coming after us. They have been on a crusade sine the beginning of their lives and never will they stop until everyone has disappeared. They first went after women when Roe v Wade was overturned, and look what they did there. Now their coming after us, and who will it be next, you.
