Normal people: you hate minorities? You’re an asshole. Fuck you! ✓
This is cool because being a hateful bigot is wrong and hateful bigots should experience social shunning.
Rabid right: you don’t hate the people we hate, fuck you! ×
This is wrong because being a hateful asshole is wrong and perpetuating hate is wrong.
They need to deal with the fact that LGBTQ+ people exist. Existing and appearing in ads and shit isn’t “sHoViNG iT In OuR FaCEs” it is existing and being represented instead of white, cis, hetero always being overrepresented.
I’m cis/heterosexual and white (though white supremecists would argue against the latter since I’m also Jewish). It always amazes me how LGBTQ people existing is “they’re shoving it in my face” when straight people existing isn’t “you’re shoving your heterosexuality in my face.”
I can walk down the street holding my wife’s hand and can kiss her and nobody thinks twice about it. If an LGBTQ couple does the same, though, they get the “shove it in my face” rhetoric. LGBTQ people should be able to do anything that straight people can do without being harassed for it.
Also conservative Christians shove their religion in our faces all the time. We’re expected to follow their religious rules even if we don’t believe in their particular version of Christianity.
I’m sick of the rabid right.

Did you know it’s still completely legal to have children participate in heterosexual weddings?
