I just dont see it as a big issue, as long as it's not promoted to kids. I'm not a control freak. I dont care what consenting adults do amongst themselves. I think people with a foot fetish are kinda weird too, but I have no desire to judge or regulate their fetish or address the "issue". I don't even personally know anyone who is openly gay, and rarely encounter them IRL, so it's not something that I deal with every day, aside from it being yet another weaponized identity, which the "right" feeds into by attacking them. Dont get me wrong. I find the whole "pride" thing strange, even nauseating. It's an odd slogan to use. What exactly are they feeling pride in?

On the issue of women, thats something I definitely differ with the alt right on. Women tend to be extremely conformist, but attacking them or trying to "Put them in their place" only has the effect of making you more resented. I'm not trying to be some white knight either. I just think it's ultimately self defeating.

so it's not something that I deal with every day,

When I worked in the corporate office, one of my employers was dominated by gays. Normally gayness isn't something I deal with day-to-day, but when I worked there, it was in my face constantly.
