    This meme highlights the real difference between the gay rights movement of the past, and the modern “lgbqt alphabet” movement of now.

    Gay people just wanted to be given the same rights as everyone else, and told is that they didn’t have much choice in the matter.

    With the current movement, they want everyone to change their behaviour and the way they think about things.

    You’ll often see criticisms of the modern gender movement labelled as “homophobia” but they aren’t.

    They are two different movements and should separated.

      The right becoming more radical with their attitudes to the LGBQT+ make queer people also respond more radically to their aggressive rhetoric.

      Also, can you expand on what criticisms are labelled as “homophobia”? I’d genuinely like to know.

      Wow you are so right.

      I told those Nazis that they don’t need to change their thinking or behavior against Jews. They just need to give equal rights to Jews.

      You are so smart. Amazing take. It isn’t like taking those old guard gayz didn’t want people to change their thinking (i.e. thinking gay people are normal, socially acceptable, gay rights) or their behavior (lynching, killing, draconic laws, etc.). Totally right. The alphabet mafia nowadays are infringing on OUR RIGHT to think what we want and do what we want.

      Maybe the confederacy had a point. Maybe the north was just so bad trying to force the south to change their thinking and their behavior. Your take is not reactionary at all.
