Why Pride lost the public

IMO, when you lack respect for those who disagree with you politically you’re never going to see those occasions when they have a good point to make. And for the most part, liberals think conservatives are bad people, and thus give them no respect.
Respect has nothing to do with acknowledging good policy. I think Matt Gaetz is a piece of shit but when he proposes legislation to prevent members of Congress from actively participating in the stock market I can get behind it. I have no issue with using Republicans when they agree with me.
 
Unfortunally for the Democrats it seems like we're struggling to finish pride Month on a good note.
I honestly don't think anyone gives a shit about how right wingers finish pride month except other right wingers
 
lol.

Right wingers always vastly overestimate the support for their views. You people are noisy, not a majority.
An entire existence that requires Russia's help to sock up their internet presence.
 
I suspect I was ambivalent about LBGTQ before you supported them.
Falls perfectly into line with what I keep saying about how cons don't know where they stand on any issue until a liberal speaks first.
 
This paragraph:

“The core reason for the backlash is pretty simple: children,” Andrew Sullivan explains. “The attempt to indoctrinate children in gender ideology and to trans them on the verge of puberty has changed the debate. Start indoctrinating and transing children… and you will re-energize one of the oldest homophobic tropes there is: ‘gays are child molesters.’”

I completely agree with this, and in thread after thread I have commented in, this was my biggest point.

Leave other people's children the F alone!
Cons forever pretending to white knight for children when the truth is they use children as human shields for their garbage policies.

Their bigotry against conservatives is constantly noted, and they have the audacity to call conservative all types of names.

They are the problem that's dividing America, Not the right.

They call themself the party of tolerance, but they are not at all.

I think president Trump is a total jack-ass, but I liked many of the policies he tried to get in place.

You will never win against your enemy when you refuse to understand them. You are rationalizing that you are correct instead of understanding your enemy.

That seems like a pretty damn good description to me. And who isn't winning against Conservatism? What have they been able to conserve? Their culture is dying.

  1. "Understand up"?
  2. I don't consider republicans my "enemies".

Many of the ideas are changing, that's for certain. But refusing to see why the LBGTQ community has enraged the right is not the rights fault. It is wholly the fault of the left for their lack of sensitivity.

You can rationalize it how ever you like, but this arrogance that the left can do no wrong has probably set the LBGTQ community back at least two decades.

We understand their bigotry just fine. If you want to see how silly this game is I can also accuse you of refusing to understand our understanding of bigots.

I never said the Left can do no wrong. The Lefts capacity to do wrong and the bigoted motivations of anti-gay mutants have nothing to do with one another.

Some are most certainly bigoted. But they bremained pretty much silenet until genetic males entered women sports, and drag queens infiltrated the schools. At this point, their lifestyle is attacked.

I'm not playing games. I find it really pathetic that you refuse to understand valid points and criticisms, thinking they are not valid.

Then leave the children alone that belong to conservatives.

No they have not been silent. I remember what it was like in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s for gay people when I was growing up and it sure as shit wasn't this tolerant, silent paradise you're portraying. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had to be dragged kicking and screaming in to even just supporting gay marriage. Save that fantasy shit for your LARPing group. I'm unimpressed when you get dressed up in costume and flop around in front of me pretending to fight orcs.

Agree to disagree there Xena Warrior Princess.

I find it hilarious that in all this crying you haven't bothered to say exactly what these valid points are.

No. And I have no problem telling you no. You can be a bigot and try to teach your children to hate gays or blacks or jews or whatever brand of mutant ideology you adhere to but decent people will fight against that programming, unapologetically. Tough tits. Keep your children in a cave then and don't let watch Disney or play with children who's parents might of raised them better because guess what, kids talk to one another.

Looks like I hit a nerve. I accept your defeat.
 
Why does president Biden honor a pedophile?

Too many people will be angry with the LBGTQ community unitil they stop supporting men in women's sports.
