I can't speak for all heterosexuals.
But most everyone in my circle is all for equal rights.
I cringe a bit when I see "trans rights" or "gay rights" or even "Asian American rights".
If we are all equal under the law, there shouldn't be any necessity for special rights.
And ultimately, the ideal goal should be equality under the law. Your rights shouldn't supercede my own and vice versa.

Anyone remember the thread I think from yesterday that showed how many days in a year celebrate the alphabet people?

I have some friends who are LGBTQ+. They have told me "we will not be just tolerated". This means that along with having basic civil rights for jobs, housing, and so on and not having to live being afraid of getting beaten up, they want to be accepted and celebrated as much as straight people are.
Before just being tolerated was good enough and now they want more than that. Basically everyway we celebrate the traditional family and mom and dad and so on they want to be celebrated the same way.
Just like it was a big deal at one point that McDonald's featured adds with black people they want McDonald's to have adds with gay people and so on.
And they say that they have had heterosexuality thrown in their faces their whole lives then it's fair to have homosexuality thrown in our faces.
I don't think you can be a good socialist these days unless you support the LGBTQIAPF, you capitalist bigot.

I made the mistake at a job back in the mid 90s of making this exact statement to a female coworker (not gay). She went ballistic and read me the riot act that gay people don't have a choice and they are all born gay. It was incredible how angry she got at me.

is another made up story similar to the one you used this past weekend saying you war hero relatives buried in Arlington are likely thrilled a LBTQXYZ+ flag is also being flown during Memorial Day?

Sure it was.
Remember All the military appreciation displays? All the companies turning their logos to camo? The constant parades?
Here's an idea, get rid of all the fricking months. We don't need any of them.
It's June. It's hot. Go swim in the pool.

Sorry, but just tolerated is the best I can offer.

WOW well I guess I'm the sad one.
Seems like more stores and businesses would have pushed that more before jumping straight into pride month. I didn't really see alot of signage or anything where I was shopping and eating out.

Do we celebrate other fetishes? Is there foot fetish or BDSM pride months?
There really should be an ‘exotic chick with dark hair and a fat arse’ month

Neither are not made up. I have an uncle buried in Arlington National Cemetery and my aunt is buried next to him. World War I veteran who was gassed and was disabled due to it, but found work in DC. I also have my dad and uncles who are WWII and Vietnam vets.
I have gay and lesbian friends and I know some folks who are not quite sure who they are. I know three folks who transitioned to female from male--one died recently. And some of the have told me this. It runs the gambit from "just give us equal rights" to "celebrate me and not just tolerate me".

Congratulations on finally seeing the actual fruition of pushing more and more socialist policies. Is this red-pilling you like it did with Toddy?

Were they telling you this as their balls were bouncing off your chin, or when they were giving you a reach around?

i don’t believe you.
i think you’re looking for attention.
while spreading your political beliefs and using these tales to justify said beliefs.
and i think the OT should be suspicious of your posts at the very least. i suspect most of what you are posting has been copied and pasted from elsewhere.
