I had a horrible nightmare of fighting with the person who gave birth to me

It was over LGBT rights.

It actually did occur in reality, several times. I remember her conflating Gays with child rapists and me being like "wtf mum? Since when did you start caring about children's rights considering what happened to me?"

And she kicked me out a house I actually owned.

Even my brother who is educated in compared with the general population has really wrapped up understanding of LGBT community. He made an attempt or two to try and argue it is mental illness.

And my response was usually that I am lesbian..He does not like to think of me that way so he ends the convo or backs off because he wants to stay in my life.

People here really have long way to go.

I honestly think LGBTQ+ activists have done more damage for the LGBTQ community.
Those activists are what people mostly see and when they act all insane, it paints the whole community in the same light as them.
Most people I know that are LGBTQ are very normal people just wanting to live their lives.
If more people seen the community like that I firmly believe there would not be so much hatred now.
The activists and fanatics are making everything much worse

@Miram nah, not worth my time. I was just trying to unmask the bigotry behind the psuedo-tolerant facade.

@ViciDraco
It is too obvious. You can't at the same time claim some activists getting more attention is problematic, and also be giving them more attention by diverting from my thread and attempting to take the discourse there and shift responsibility.

He is part of the problem he is whining about.

@Miram conservatives in Florida are taking that very tactic to roll us back to the situation you face. They hide behind every conceivable excuse about how they aren't trying to take away anyone's rights but the wedge is just super obvious to anyone who knows what to look for. And I really don't want people falling for it because if they find the opening to take LGBTQ rights away, they will take it.

Also, he claims he doesn't get this from watching too much YouTube and then starts using TikTok as an example as of they aren't basically the same thing.

Keep up the fight. Wish I could say once obtained it is forever, but sadly the struggle never ends.
