    Absolutely nobody is against Christmas. Even people who don’t like Christmas are cool with others celebrating it. Like 90% of people who say “Happy Holidays” celebrate Christmas. But the right wing confuses inclusion of others with an attack on the majority.

      I mean I’m more against Christmas for the idea you need to buy gifts, and “you gotta be happy, its the one day a year to be happy!”

      But I dislike that for every holiday, not because it involves Christ or anyone else.

      To be fair, there’s are way too many people who freak out if you put your tree up “too soon” or take it down “too late” for their personal taste. These may be the same people who worry about who’s sleeping with who, while none of affects them.

    Man I sure hate the trans agenda of checks notes wanting a place to pee in public without being harassed?

    Seriously fuck all this, trans rights are human rights, and insanely easy to accommodate while hurting absolutely no one.

      I can’t remember if this was said to me or if I overheard it. Maybe I’m fabricating the memory entirely, but in any case, I recall a conversation where someone said almost exactly what you did in that last sentence. The reply was of course

      “Well someone always gets hurt.”

      “What do you mean?”

      “It costs someone money to put those bathrooms in.”

      Cue the “what the fuck did I just hear” alarms

        Wait, did they think the bathrooms were special and cost money? Many places just slap a paper “gender neutral” sign on their washrooms and call it a day until a nicer sign can come in. The really good places knew this shit ages ago and already saved themselves the trouble by putting in a shared sink area and having stalls with real doors. As someone who has literally had to fit washrooms into floor plans I can guarantee that if cost and ease were problems then we’d only have gender neutral washrooms.

        In many public places, they just designated some of the bathrooms that were already there gender neutral

    Class War never went away, but they only call it Class War when the poor fight back. Otherwise it is just “business as usual”.

      When you are actively voting against other people having equal rights, you don’t get to hide behind “difference of opinion”

      The opinion OP is referring to: That LGBT+ people shouldnt exist.

      Your opinion sucks and should be not be treated with respect. If that ‘pushes people away’ then theyre shitty people who can’t accept the rights of others and are beyond reasoning with.

        I’m sorry - what strategy finally got us gay marriage?

        Gay marriage is presently legal in the US at a federal level due to a Supreme Court ruling, not a law. It seems inevitable that this will change given the present makeup of the court, similar to abortion.

        I am all for LGBTQ rights, but until something is passed by Congress the current situation seems precarious.

              Believe it or not, I am with you. It’s so annoying to listen to people’s stories and hear their difficulties in an empathetic way.

              I wish we didn’t need to hear about it every waking second for people to get it through their skulls that people can live different lives and it doesn’t hurt anyone. Talking about it all the time, the pride parades, the talks about acceptance is all transitional. Once there is widespread acceptance in general, there will be no need for that sort of thing, as they would no longer be an oppressed group. Then you will hear about it as often as people bring up Jesus, or sportsball or anything else that people devote their entire personality to in a really annoying way.

      Maybe one day minorities will learn to shut their fucking mouths and try harder to blend in with me and mine.
