The scary thing is, being first and foremost a business... they'll go where the money is. Meaning the most customers. And now, with all of this kweer/trans/gender-identity crap... they're in a position to tap into the straight market. Which they never were before. What's the less-than-10%-of-the-population gay male market next to that?

It just occurred to me: maybe this is why the LGB establishment has abandoned us and embraced the TQ+. Money. Not just from billionaire AGPs like Pritzker and Rothblatt (though I'm sure they're more than happy to lap that up); from straight people as a whole. The majority of the population. Our businesses, our organizations--they could never have such a vast customer/membership base with just us. But if they jump aboard the "gay = straight" bandwagon? Watch those sweet, sweet hetero dollars flood in. All it costs is our identity, our spaces, our voices... our fucking existence.

So angry as I type this. Fitting that I have Fall Out Boy's Novocaine on repeat, to express my feelings about these collaborators:

Because they took our love and they filled it up/Filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb/Now I’m just numb/Don’t mind me, I’m just a son of a gun/So don’t stop, don't stop till your heart goes numb/Now I’m just numb/I don’t feel a thing for you
