    Had a group of Christians approach me while i was looking at nail polish in an Ulta. Even after i said no thank you as politely as an angel they still insisted on letting me now their imagery friend loved me. If anyone in the lgbt+ community acted like that in public Christians would call it grooming.

    Sidebar, I had a friend who specifically went after straight guys, double points if they had a girlfriend or wife. Strange fetish and a little unethical but to each their own. But to the point, he didn’t go door to door knocking. Club to club maybe.

      I’ve been on the other end of that, and the gay guys accept a “no” thrice as fast as the Jehovahs do.

    They probably mean in the media portraying lgbt relationships. A lot of right wingers think it’s too much. Imagine saying that to on-screen interracial relationships…

      See, that’s why it’s so hard for homophobes to be around gay people. They want to give a fuck, but they can’t handle their own social stigma so they want it outlawed to remove the temptation.

    I have straight aura, and I 've been in a lot of queer spaces where people think i was the token straight, no one never tried to convert me.

    But that one time the charity i was working for found a partnership with a local catholic church, suddenly i have to explain over and over why i don’t need religion in my life.

      I have a cynical scientific aura from before 2000 that thinks talking about auras is fucking stupid. I hope it’s contagious, or that every time you say “aura” unironically a fly finds its way in your mouth.

    I mean, there’s definitely LGBTQ propaganda, friendly media, organizing, etc. But then there’s also a superabundance of cis-het advertising, peer pressure, and the like.

    It’s something of a joke that the gay majority groups will express disgust and annoyance with “breeders” in terms strikingly similar to what I’ve heard from homophobic family.

    But like so much else in American society, the thing that makes these spectacles aggravating isn’t the gender or sexuality nearly so much as the relentless marketing of consumer products.

    Perhaps we could find some common ground if gay and straight folks alike agreed the deluge of advertisement needed to come to an end.

        There’s plenty of fun parties in June, if you’ve got friends in the community.

        But thanks to dickweeds like Ken Paxton, a lot of the rainbow washing has dried up and been replaced by corporate Christian Fascism.
