Clown,
"You literally said homosexuals were expecting too much from society."
I did say something along those lines, and I stand by the point.
Gay people are entitled to equal protection under the law, freedom from discrimination and the same basic respect owed to everyone else.
But they also need to face reality.
A large part of the straight world does not approve of homosexuality, does not celebrate it and would not choose it for their own children.
How many young couples find out they are expecting a child and say, "I sure hope he's gay"?
Almost none.
Some straight people are also genuinely repulsed by the thought of sex between men. Sometimes that comes from prejudice. Sometimes the idea simply grosses them out. Don't pretend that simple physical reaction does not exist. And don't judge it. People can't change some automatic innate reactions.
That does not automatically mean they hate gay people. Equal rights, politeness, tolerance, approval and acceptance are not the same thing.
Some straight people fully welcome gay people into their lives. Many others tolerate them, remain polite and go no further. Gay people will not be accepted into every family, every social circle or every community. Who is?
That is reality.
And most important, do not base your self-worth on approval from the straight world, which is most of society and forever always will be.
Full acceptance by society is not coming anytime soon. Gay people who depend on it for their self-respect are setting themselves up for disappointment.
Ol' Teddy might've been considered a communist, but he definitely was a white supremacist. He also liked to murder, gut and stuff thousands of mostly harmless animals in the name of science. Still, he had his fair share of adversity in his life, and at least had the guts to run up a hill in between asthmatic gasps and expose himself to an hail of Spanish bullets. I'm sure there's a similar hill in Iran that Trump can charge up.
I'm not GenZ, but I am nearly 35 and the word "communist" as a pejorative is about as corny and meaningless as the snooty uptalk of any valley-girl of the early 80s ... like, fer sure!
