Of all the positive things President Trump has done for average Americans, the greatest of all is his leadership in the loosening of the PC noose. As people gain more and more confidence in expressing unapproved, but very real and very valid, thoughts and feelings, you will see more and more of this.

As I've always said, this bizarre PC era is microscopic in length on the timeline of human history. It could not continue for very long....and won't.

Bingo.

This is the Crux of the biscuit.

All the individual "isms" and "phobias" the far Left have embraced aren't out of some great concern for human rights.

They are only a means to an end.

Here's my take on the whole gay thing:

I'm fine with them. (I've had gay friends I've really liked, and I've known other gay people I couldn't stand. Nothing to do with sexual orientation.) They're not hurting anybody. And if they want to get married, doesn't bother me. Let them.

Where I get annoyed is with the banging your head with it stuff. This month, I was in a department store where they announced on the PA system every time minutes about raising money for a Pride event, and it was CONSTANT. (And it was on a tape, so it just replayed the same thing over and over.) I just want to shop in peace. And then, when I got to the check-out and was asked to contribute to the Pride event and declined, I could swear I got a disapproving look. Why can't I decide to which causes I want to give, in the privacy of my home?

Most stores seem to have a charity thing at check out. Some will get mad at any decline to contribute.

Well said.



I think the majority of us don't care who someone is, who they want to be, who they want to get naked with and how they want to live their lives BUT NO ONE wants it stuffed in their faces.



I think the young people polled feel like the gay, bi, transgendered people are getting all the notice and they are being left behind because they are straight.



Live and Let Live People just don't punch me in the face with your lifestyle choices and condemn me for mine.

Could this be why younger people are more uncomfortable? Because they are being told that they MUST date TG or they are a bigoted homohater?

This is what happens when you demand tolerance while being intolerant yourself.

I have found the promoters of their agenda to be the most intolerant people I have ever dealt with, so they definitely overplayed their hand.

Overplayed what hand, exactly? Being a discriminated minority that is complaining about the discrimination? Would you rather we just sit down and be quiet?


Sorry but we will shout and complain about the inequality because that is the American way.

Like I said, they demand tolerance while being intolerant themselves. There is a thread at the Christianity board with nearly 9000 posts where the promoters of the agenda attack and insult Christians mercilessly calling them haters, bigots, nazis and every other name under the sky, and it is simply because those Christians believe what the Bible says. That is VERY intolerant.

If you demand tolerance, you must become tolerant yourself. You can't demonize others into agreement.

The poll shows your intolerance has driven away the most supportive age group, and if I were you I'd sit down and think about how to correct your mistakes. You have to find a better way, because screaming in people faces is not working, and never will.
