I think the same about anyone who fears LGBT+ trying to convert their kids like they believe someone can be convinced to be gay rather than just convinced to accept their sexuality.

Like I don't see any problem with being gay but it's not for me. I sometimes think dating would be easier if I was bi, but it's about as appealing as knowing it would be easier to fill my stomach if I ate sawdust.

So it's very telling when someone talks about gays tempting them or that they worry about a gay agenda of turning everyone gay like it's a realistic possibility.

Those who hate homosexuals and see them as the "other side" often believe that homosexuals view heterosexuals with the same malice.

Gay people know they're not the norm, and don't feel threatened by straight folk unless. They feel threatened by bigots.

NOT TODAY NATURAL URGES FOR FIRM MAN CHESTS!!!

Yeah I seriously I was about to say, as a pansexual, this guy is triggering every sensor on my gaydar, big time. He'd be a lot happier if he would just embrace who he is.

Yeah either of those scenarios makes me think one of them is eventually turning back to gay sex. Sure bisexuals can have lifelong monogamous relationships with people of a different gender and they often do it happily, but how happily do they tend to do it with people bragging about how they defeated their partner’s queerness?

The most optimistic scenario my head can come up with to make the sentence make sense would be that she's bisexual and because of him she chose to commit to a heteronormative relationship.

If that was the case she should be pissed that this was his reflection

Sometimes I try to visualize smug, snarky comments like this if it were about something I believe in. Like, if there were a mixed race proposal and it said "Racism is so defeated," would that be any better?

No, it's cringy as hell. Makes the proposal seem like it's about some agenda rather than loving the person.

I'd spend way more time worrying about if I actually wanted to be married to a dude named Addison.

Yeah I just wonder who this is for. A flex to his church friends or what ?

Apparently he's an ex-Newsmax anchor. It explains everything. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-newsmax-star-addison-smith-mocked-for-making-his-wedding-proposal-about-hating-gay-people

Fucking seriously. What the actual fuck is wrong with these people?

I hate propagandists with every single fiber of my being, more than I hate absolutely anything in the entire universe, and yet I rarely think about them unless something specific comes up.

These assholes just love to hate all the time.

I'm sorry if I'm spilling the beans here but: Gay agenda = be happy

All you have to do to infiltrate their minds and live rent free for a few months is open with “the libs want you to…” and just say whatever comes to mind. It’s rather easy.

Gay sex is on those conservative minds every month. Probably most minutes as well.

I always imagine it like a comic: two Repubs steal a gay man's agenda book. They open it to find the secret plot. It says, "lunch with Todd," with a heart around it. The last panel is the Repubs shrieking and panicking.

They definitely have some powerful delusions that they are under attack. Bigotry and Fox News feeding their fear addiction gets them to believe anything (as long as it is hateful).

Maybe all the macho conservatives need to get gay married to each other to prove that they hate it and aren't gay. It's the only way to be sure.

I assume it's projection. He loses his shit when he's reminded of the existence of gay people, so he assumes everyone else must be the same as him, just with the teams swapped.

I wouldn't wish that on the children.

No one was ever naturally inclined to fear or hate LGBTQ+ people. It's nurture all the way down.

Eh, it’s more that pride is a rejection of the shame we’ve been taught to feel. But then you get into the fact that we aren’t telling straight people to be ashamed, we’re telling bigots that if anyone should be ashamed it’s them
