    My dad tells me it has something to do with Communism and the color pink but I can’t really understand him through his slurred speech three drinks in after Thanksgiving dinner.

    To be fair, they’re nothing if not consistent in this view, because they think straight relationships are just about sex as well:

    Why do you think they always seperate boys and girls? They think they’re gonna fuck if they’re left alone unsupervised.

    What is the purpose of marriage to them? To have children. Which is just a really elaborate breeding kink. It’s about sex.

    Why do you think the concept of a man and a woman just being friends is so damn alien to them? Because it’s all. About. Sex. They can’t fathome the notion that two people of the opposite sex won’t tear off their clothes and fuck like animals the moment they’re alone in a room together.

    Bigots are the most sex-obsessed people on this planet! And it shows in their actions and their rhetoric.

        Except, one viewpoint is objectively not reality. That’s the whole point of this post, one of the two main political opinions hold the beliefs that:

        • ALL trans women and gay men at pedophiles
        • ALL trans men and gay women are just confused and haven’t found the right husband yet
        • Being trans and transitioning turns you into a sad, pathetic mockery of the other gender who is destined to kill themselves from the shame of it all
        • ALL Queer-adjacent children (under 18) are also confused innocents who have been lead astray by evil forces trying to corrupt the new generation

        None of which are true, in case it wasn’t clear. So no, it should absolutely not be left up to the parents to teach, because when that happens, a solid 30% of (American) childeren are “educated” about a complete un-reality that only exists in the minds of hate-filled bigots, and terrifies all us queers back into the closet.

    Perhaps I have some internalized homophobia, but aside from sex and gender identity, what else is it?

    edit: it’s love

      Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much… they can visit each other in the hospital when they’re sick. For example.

      I mean I guess it’s love, but it’s who I love, not the just fact that I love. And it’s definitely who I have romantic “love” for, not just any type of love.

    I was taught in school about about LGBTQ+ people

    In grades 0-4, we were taught that sex isnt the same thing as gender(we werent taught why)

    In grade 8, we were taught that the world was ruled by a jew who was tricking kids into making them trans to fix overpopulation(a claim that could easily be disproven by the facts that there are laws against LGBTQ+ people and that for the effort to be effective, a large amount of the population would have to be affected, compared to the basically 0 that live in Romania) and that Hitlers intentions were right(talking about banning LGBTQ+, she said that she didnt agree with the killing)

    It tells more about the accusers than the accused.
