Is that the legit reason? I mean, in the times I grew up in, I would assume you’re being dramatic to prove a point.

Have you considered that you always misunderstood people’s goals and they were actually trying to warn you of this exact coming situation?

This isn’t some stupid timeline, it’s the result of 50 years of very specific effort by the right that the people you thought were being dramatic were just plainly warning you about with the appropriate level of urgency.

I really don’t understand how in the face of all this people still choose to bury their heads in the sand.

• Drag queens reenacted a painting of a Greek scene at the Olympic opening ceremonies.

• Christians naturally thought it was about them and started crying persecution, other bigots took advantage of the fray to attack the LGBT community.

• The world rejoices at another opportunity to mock the latter into oblivion.

TLDR; The usual

I try real hard to not only change my mind but vocally (typographically) acknowledge when I was wrong because it’s so goddamnit rare and infuriating.
