OK I think we have just had some different experiences with this... And that is completely fine and valid. I do not dispute yours.
I knew a girl who struggled with a lot of gender issues that I did not understand because I was actually raised in a relatively liberal, upper middle class home. Of course, my father is a devout conservative, but so many people in my extended family have all manner of conflicting ideas, and discussion of these things was never barred...
So when she talked to me about how her family frowned on her for even being interested in sports or dressing "boyish"ly , I was shocked.
So, who knows.
The United States is a very big place.
I remember, as a conservative, even getting culture shock at the levels of conservatism among Texans (lol). So, I will say that... I just don't know.
I think I am right for one segment of the society, and you are right for another. Which is another reason to prefer decentralization, IMO: let each area address its own issues, and to have a standard be one of largely tolerance.
Yeah, there are always many many variables and of course there are always exceptions and nuances, but speaking overall, there is a huge difference in how homosexuality is viewed and treated by society overall if you compare the 80s/90s and the 2020s. I don't see how anyone alive during this time can deny that, even when you just look at popular media, you will notice that "gay" or "homo" was a mainstream insult that was universally accepted until quite recently.
Completely agreed. And maybe we should focus on the stuff we agree and the really core important stuff instead of having arguments that are never concluded.
The problem in my view is that most politicians use wedge issues to divide people. For example, they used to scapegoat gay men by claiming they are all pedos who want to rape and groom children and tried to pass/keep anti-gay laws. This basically forces the left to defend against this kind of legislation.
