Right, didn't you know that's not because people feel safer saying how they feel and be themselves, and instead is because people are being groomed and there is some something something agenda (/sarcasm) Funny how timeless Dylan is: Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin' 2

Really you think all the straights in the scout troop are hiding their orientation from their friends and family. 🤔 1

Those games are actually pretty fun. Unlike an NBA game, I can just walk on down to the end of the court and hang out with a floor view 1

Tom boys and feminine boys/men are being swayed to believe there’s something wrong with them and they’re actually gay or trans. In years past the majority would grow up heterosexual or gay. My nephew is gay, my wife and I knew he was gay when he was 4-5 years old playing with our kids. When my sister told us he came out he was gay as a teenager we laughed and told her we’ve known for 10 years lol. Gay people like everyone else are not a monolith, there’s plenty of gay and trans people who just want to live their lives without all the flags and parades and hoopla, who’s sexuality isn’t a driving force in their daily lives, I understand there’s plenty of folks who feel differently and that’s ok too.

I suppose it's the same as religion... just trying to hang with the in crowd. Even if you're not gay... they will for sure take you in. 18 minutes ago, Warcodered said: Really you think all the straights in the scout troop are hiding their orientation from their friends and family. 🤔 The straights don't even mention it, there is nothing to hide.

muppy Posted June 19 Posted June 19 1 hour ago, boyst said: come to the US. it is most certainly in your face. we have had a similar conversation before regarding the topic of what a person views on the internet and the CHOICES we all make as to what we view. Or don't view either for that matter If content I find offensive exists I don't frequent that content. The "oh it's in my face" rhetoric is due in large part to what you Choose to put there. Please with the oh I'm a victim I'm being INDOCTRINATED to me that is pure baloney. Noone chooses their sex at birth NOR their sexual orientation.. You can't convince me otherwise. Confusion? maybe. I'm not Yahweh. That is above my pay grade. That is between they and their own consciences to decide This indoctrination smack I hear gets on my nerves. 3

The better is why do you think this specific thing, out of all the things is making you have that sort of almost involuntary visceral reaction? I promise I'm not judging here, I think it has to do with people being exposed to different algorithms. The people saying, these things are being crammed down our throats are the ones also saying it's being done to further a political and cultural agenda, all while doing so by using the same words and responding in the exact same ways to the exact same triggers. All the while not being annoyed at stuff being crammed down people's throats, but because they view it as the wrong things...this dad's group I'm in on fb has people constantly posting anti pride month memes, while posting pro gun memes...it's totally cool to say merry Christmas to anyone you see, even though a vastly significant % of people don't celebrate that holiday (as someone who married into celebrating it, but didn't grow up celebrating it, it's really awkward and annoying and uncomfortable when people constantly tell you merry Christmas, like I don't celebrate that holiday, why the heck are you talking to me about your religion all the time, stop it, you're cramming it down my throat), but oh man, the outrage when someone wants to say happy holidays to ensure we're celebrating all holidays...the national anthem everywhere...like I'm patriotic, but stop cramming your form of patriotism down peoples' throats that maybe express their patriotism differently. Beer commercials, magazine covers, just so much stuff constantly crammed down our throats in this society, why is this thing such a big deal? Whose agenda does it serve for people to have a strong involuntary reaction to it...why when you step back can you so easily predict that reaction based on specific trigger words and terms and why are the responses always so uniform...like I fully acknowledge there are things that trigger me, but when I look at the ways I respond to those triggers and the words I use and the words other people use that are similarly triggered, they are different words and thoughts that are coming from actually thinking through the problem and building out thoughts, it's not just an immediate visceral response that is the same as everyone else that feels the same way. It's wild, and scary...not the thoughts themselves even, but the fact that so many people are instinctively acting in such a uniform fashion when there are thousands of examples of the same thing happening, but it's like they've been conditioned to respond in such an automatic fashion...Manchurian Candidate type stuff and I'm talking the Angela Lansbury version. This post is being crammed. Make some cliff notes next time. My God.

There used to be a time when sexuality was private. It should stay that way. EDIT: if your post was a joke cause "crammed" and "tossing" were used, hysterical!! Edited June 19 by Blackbeard
HardyBoy Posted June 19 Posted June 19 6 minutes ago, Blackbeard said: This post is being crammed. Make some cliff notes next time. My God. Basically...there is a bunch of stuff crammed down all our throats every day by corporations...why is this specific thing the thing that drives people wild? Then why do all the people that have an issue with this, as well as happy holidays and a few other issues, why do they all sound the same when they hear/see the thing that insights the reaction? It feels very very very indoctrinated. Like you can predict basically the same sequence of phrases and what will trigger them, it's weird.
