Good. People who love each other, should be able to spend time together.
This is undoubtably due to the nefarious scheming of Big Gay.
It’s called the Gay Agenda™.
But how can you be attracted to people of the same gender if you don’t have one??
Yeah, to be honest in my online travels these last couple of years, I’ve even seen prejudiced talk regarding sexual attraction coming from people under the non-binary umbrella. Something that I thought I understood early on is that gender identity and sexual attraction are not the same thing and it can be disheartening and doubt inspiring when people in the circles that you are learning from link the two together.
What can drag say except, you’re welcome
Its also a generational thing and parents realising its also their kids and their friends who can be openly homosexual.
Humans are always afraid of the unknown, and everyone being more open helps.
I had gay neighbors one time and they were exactly like straight neighbors
Maybe they were bi then 😁
I’m currently a gay neighbor and my neighbor is also the gay neighbor and it’s very different from most neighbors I’ve had: We give each other homemade baked goods regularly
Goddammit, I need a gay neighbor.
We give each other
Go on… 👀
homemade baked goods regularly
Oh.
Damn…My gay neighbors never gave us baked goods…
The headboard still hits the otherside of the wall with the same intensity?
Pretty much yeah
Nice to see the overall trajectory, but still just a bit sad to consider that the US is barely in a better place today than Sweden was 20 years ago.
And even then, I’m not entirely convinced the number of bigots hasn’t started rising back up in the US given that the data stops at 2022 and the anti-LGBT rhetoric has been dramatically increasing lately.
I think it’s just the anti-LGBT rhetoric is loud (quite literately) but they’re not necessarily they’re large.

The amount of strings the GOP has to pull just to get any election in their favor should tell ya’ everything.

You remind me of my mother-in-law. She came out as lesbian about a decade ago and I can’t even imagine the struggles she’s been through in her life. She married a man and raised two amazing daughters while grappling with her own sexual orientation, identity, and society’s expectations of her.
Today, she complains about trans activists and Pride participants “drawing too much attention and making the rest of us look bad when I just want to feel normal.” She’s concerned about the backlash, just like you. But the thing is, her second marriage wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for loud, visible, robust activism.
At one point in time, the policy demands of outspoken gay activists were probably viewed by more conservative members of the gay community as “overreaching.” But their efforts uplifted the gay community and, by extension, the entire human race.
The fight for trans and genderqueer rights is the fight for human rights. This is my position.
Now, if there are specific policy demands that you’d like to point out as truly unreasonable and harmful to the LGBT+ community, or if you feel like I’ve made a fallacious argument, I invite you to let me know and tell me why. Until then, I take issue with the assertion that our trans brothers and sisters are making things worse for the rest of us, when they just want to be safe and comfortable to be open about their identity.
They can’t back up their position, which is why they said they wouldn’t get sucked into a debate.
Funny that not too long ago it was you who were overreaching.
L M A O “policy demands”
You mean the part where we’re allowed to pee safely? Or where we aren’t fired/laid off from a job just for requesting people use the right pronouns? Ooh, or how about accessible healthcare? No? It’s the sportsball thing again right?
That’s a pretty ‘fuck you, I got mine’ attitude
It’s not possible to only uplift one marginalized group without uplifting them all. There should be no push for equity that excludes someone else just because their need is greater.
2 adults in a consensual relationship. Nothing to see here, move along.
Why only this small subset of countries?
Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Uganda?
Edit: just opened the world map. All those countries are near 100% anti-gay neighbors. Lol.
So the real headline is “Global west is okay with homosexuality. Everyone else still hates us”.
In China being gay and having gay relationships has been legal since 1997. They also have their own version of "gay marriage’. Sadly adoption is not allowed.
Trans people are only recognised post op.
It’s not fantastic but it has improved a lot.
Hmm, I wonder if that value for the UK ~2005 is just a statistical artefact, or if something culturally happened to temporarily create more homophobia in the late 90s/early2000s.
(Same but less pronounced US ~2010, but that looks more definitely like an artefact to me)
