Then why do we have so much corpo/government backing to pedal this shit even on things that didn't have it nor really were made for it? If you didn't think this was about control over the culture, then you are deluded.nyway? A fucking nobody? Moving on. |
Growing up in the 80's it was extremely "disliked" to be gay. - You weren't allowed out of the closet, that actually got worse in the 90's.
People killed themselves because of it.
But being gay and being surrounded by "heterosexuality" day-in, day-out didn't make them heterosexuals, it just made life more miserable as they weren't allowed to be, who they were born to be.

You are free to do so. But don't come crying to me if people push against it and you're forced to retreat back into your minority safe space. If you were able to exist without having that much eyes on you, then trying to make it "mainstream" was your own decision. |
Spoken like someone who has never had to fight tooth and nail for their position in life... Someone who wasn't "passed over" because they were different for an opportunity.
I fought stupidly hard to get where I am today... And I had to do so, fighting harder than others, because there wasn't inclusivity.
Thankfully today it's different, we dress the fire trucks in rainbow colours every year, we participate in the pride march, there isn't homophobic slurs in the fire station, there isn't homophobia.. People like that got kicked out of the service for the mistreatment of others.
And now? You are who you are, if you can do the job, great. - Doesn't matter if you are of a different ethnic background, gender, sexuality or more.
It's the way it should be.
