OP, that is because homosexuality used to be more underground. Hollywood started to shove homosexuality down everyone's throat. Now the homosexuals themselves are forcing it all over society. In 2018 if you say homosexuality is wrong you are a bigot. If you say a trans woman is not a real woman cause they have a penis...then YOU are looked at as abnormal.

And you've never had someone scream and force you to marry someone of the same gender either.

That's not the same for plenty of LGBTQ people. Hence lies the difference.

For members of the LGBT community that voted for Trump thinking he wouldn't be so bad, this is what the result is. Congratulations. Hopefully it won't be repeated in future elections. Trump's enablement of the Right has resulted in an ever-increasing march toward The Handmaid's Tale. Just imagine how much worse it will get with more Republicans in office.

I think most people are like that...they just don't care.

But as the homosexuals continue to force feed their ways on people that don't want to go along with the homosexual agenda, then something will have to give.

Christian parents still throw their children to the streets for coming out of the closet.

I fear a time is coming where the LGBT community will be forced back into the closet or into conversion therapy by law with the alternative being the death penalty. That is the ultimate goal of religious conservatives.

I think the society depicted in A Handmaid's Tale is closer than many want to admit.

Yeah, seeing as how you mention Christians... they think LGBT folks are weird?? Seriously??? They're running around having conversations with some dude who lives up in the clouds, like he's a real person who actually has some control over what goes on down here.

As will Christians and other religious Fundamentalists. And they have proved that many times over.

This x infinity.

They are not less comfortable with it now. They are just more comfortable telling the truth about how they feel now.

Attacking someone because they don't accept you, is a hate crime. See, it is a two way street, until government gets involved.
Why do you think LGBTQ people feel the need to be vocal about the challenges they face? Nobody is born an activist. People become activists, usually unwillingly, because of injustice.

I'll tell you again.
Their are choices in life. Own who you are and wear it like a badge of honor. Or let your conscious run your life.
