Daily reminder not to fall for these illogical concessions the system makes.

You can't support LGBT rights and then do this, it's totally incoherent and illogical, and many people will think this might be a shift in good direction while it's just pressure release valve to normalize all the other evil shit they do (i.e. they'll still push LGBT down your throat).

I wouldn't be surprised if it was planned optics to keep the anger from boiling over. Do X with the intent of stopping X after a while.

While what you say is true in a lot of regards, we're not out of the woods yet. So each policy like this pushed is one more closer to not having to push that stuff. Remember, governments need to keep the people to a certain happy level; They see the LGBT bullshit is loud, vocal and in some instances, dangerous. I think its a mask they are keeping up till it's fully safe to pull it off and be back to business as usual.

The LGBT power seems to actually be falling apart, they do not have as much support as they did a year or two ago.

Slow, smal policy changes are progress and a pathway to overall changes.

Make sure to use those small victories, enjoy them and not get complacent.

You confuse me.

I support LGBT rights 100%.

I do not support normalizing sex outside of a male-female marriage though.

Thus, this ban is a good thing, and has nothing to do with LGBT rights.
