Now that we gays are the prime target for homo-hatred and assorted flat-earthers for this election cycle, why does it seem to me we're not more actively engaged in protest?
These political goons mean business, they're not kidding, we really ARE hated, it's not just a trick to get attention.
I go occasionally to some of the church services in Oklahoma City and the suburbs to hear in person what the congregations hear from their paid leaders. The vitriol and responsive amens is astounding even as my gaydar battery is running low from all the near-by signals its picking up.
Our gay-supportive religious friends won't help us as much as we'd like as that would mean calling out the homo-haters as wrong. Both our homo-friends as well as the homo-haters believe in the SAME supernatural force so their religious blood alignment will be respected to our civil rights detriment.
No gay man or woman I know or read about is advocating the diminution of anyone's religious freedom no matter how repugnantly it's presented. However, the advocacy of the homo-haters who intend to impose their religious viewpoints into CIVIL law by which ALL citizens must live--gay or straight, religious or atheist/agnostic--must be opposed.
This quote from James Madison sums it up:
