It's just one person, nothing to triumph over. Social media create the illusion that anecdotes of people outside one's direct social circle are indicative of larger social trends. Don't fall for that.

It was a whole thread of people agreeing with the girlfriend before the comments got deleted. I'm also hearing on Twitter from parents that the kids are sick of gender ideology, and there's a poll supporting a new conservative trend among HS boys

It's definitely something to get excited for.

They're not conservative, they're anti-liberal reactionaries. Which is just the other side of the same coin.

So they're useful idiots, I can work with that.

I am seeing it happen a lot though. Example: 95% of saidit users. It's happening in real life too.

I think there's a difference between hating gay people and hating having their lifestyle being shoved down your throat on a daily basis.

But this girl was complaining about how gay people are "against God's creation" and all that, and started forcing herself to be straight.

I'm talking about the broader population.

To a degree it's happening to a large handful of people (still not the majority by any means).
