Americans are less comfortable with LGBTQ people now than they were (enemies, voting)

You lifted my other post from a completely different political topic. Sad that you cannot handle a small dose of humor to counter the claim that JimRob must be lying in his posts.
My point has been proven. There's no satisfying a few people who are determined to be drama divas. It will never be enough attention for them.
What you do in bed, with whomever you do it with is "as personal as Kotex." You wanna advertise it, you're going to get some flack from most people, no matter what your attributes. Married people have never considered "which position do you and hubby like to do it in best?" a generally acceptable topic of conversation. Same with the homo stuff. It's personal. Prob'ly 95% of the population thinks that way.
Begging for universal "social acceptance" on the basis of your "outed" sexual preference is a 21 year old's thing - maybe for 6 to 14 weeks, after which you get over it - and then on to other more important things in life.

I could care less who accepts me. When government denies me equal treatment(ie. Marriage), then that's when I take umbrage. But that's been sorted out.
What in earth are you talking about heteronormative society? Yes, okay. Your sure LBGT
I see how this is.
Let's just say that being an LGBTQ person who hangs around almost exclusively with straight people can be lonely at times. They might accept you, but they don't get it.
So you get LGBTQ friends. Some of them may have radical ideas. If you hang around them more, those radical ideas become more entrenched to the point where you're pushing out your straight friends because the best they can do is accept you while still maintaining straight privilege, and that's never going to be good enough - they'll always be the oppressor.
There are a lot of gay guys, for example, who just want to exist in normal society and do all of the same things straight men do except that they'll date other men. I imagine it's the same for women, and probably for many transgender people. But that doesn't mean that the scenario I described above, and JimRom has experienced, doesn't happen.

I don't know where you are getting all this anecdotal hogwash from. But that's one of the pillars in LBGT community to have straight allies. I don't know where on earth you heard that the community as a whole is not inclusive to heterosexuals or striving sway from their support or friendship, but as a Gay individual who is part of LBGT organizations I am here to squash this disinformation campaign.
Glaad is a political organization in bed with the "elites" even to the point of appointing ABC bureaucrats to their board.
See: Jarrett Barrios scandal
Their IRS returns reveal extensive pay for play IMO, if you see their 990. All with broadcast and media.
Further evidence they're full of crap because when that guy Adam Lambert kissed the guy on that awards show in 2009 it took Barrios 5 attempts to come out with a statement defending him. After the networks blackballed him.
LASTLY. Transgender people and issues have taken over politically so that even gay men and women are second class citizens. Ironically, since they have nothing to do with being GAY.
Any "poll" with those results was probably a push poll or a nonsense poll because EVERYBODY KNOWS the statements as made are demonstrably false. Any push back is due to radical politics.
Such as INSISTING all male to female military members are perfectly able to carry out their duties while transitioning. That is a LIE. Transitioning men are on such extreme hormones they barely can get out of bed for the first year or two. But nobody says that on TV, RIGHT?

"Umbrage?" I can top you.
When potential employers deny you a job JUST (and only just) because you don't have a wedding band, and you're a male over thirty (never mind your credentials or the fact that you look and act like a totally normal gender appropriate-acting guy) ....that umbrages me. Happened to me several times just 25 - 40 years ago. So nowadays if you don't sport a wedding band, who exactly are you??? A pedo? A freak? A (heaven forbid) "loner?" Uh uh. We don't want you in our "family oriented" community or...we don't think you'd fit in here.
Neo-puritanism-like snoopiness when you really think about it. Watch some 1950's television shows - you'll get what I'm talking about.
My question: Whatever happened to just being a bachelor?
I've had more husbands than Zsa Zsa Gabor but it was never anybody's business except ours; nobody knew, nobody offended. But it was the LACK of a wedding band that screwed me out of a good (I'd say) $800,000 of income over the years.
And, oh...by the way, they should have ended Social Security survivor benefits long ago. The little lady hasn't been cooped up in the laundry and kitchen for at least 40 years now. But don't hold your breath - I'm sure the gay marrieds will be marching for theirs too.

Here's a thought (perhaps it has already been mentioned):
Most Americans are fine with LGBTQ people. It's their self-adopted crown of victimhood/"specialness" and self-absorbed demands for extra accommodations that most Americans are weary with. Why should American taxpayers have to pay for sex change operations, hormones, etc. for military members? Things like that are really not the burden of society. At what point does individual responsibility come into the picture for people? At times it feels like the extreme liberal agenda encourages some people to play up their "otherness" and force everyone around them to accommodate their special needs, but they never feel that they should have to do the same.
Do what you need to do and live your life. Do not hurt or harm others. But you don't get to dictate to the rest of the world how they must think of your lifestyle. They should never harm you and they do not have the right to discriminate, but neither should you do the same. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
