you're not gay. a politically involved gay person would have strung enough together between their local Stonewall Chapter, the Trevor Project and the Human Rights Campaign to what this thread is about and would also teach you not to mansplain to Texans. you're just saying you are because you think that identifying with a marginalized group will win you points--WHICH IS TOTALLY HOMOPHOBIC OF YOU in addition to being super fucking sexist. unfortunately for you, this is not the first time I have encountered this. FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF.
you understand me not at all because you have yet to LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
you are 100% dismissive of your lack of knowledge on this issue. you don't care about this issue because your first response to me indicated you thought Texas voters were a waste of time and therefore the LGBTQ+ kids and adults affected by the decisions our elected officials make can, in your opinion, get fucked. you should be ashamed and that is why I am shaming you.
but you're too arrogant to understand from your white boy perch in Michigan that you really really really need to FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF WITH YOUR BULLSHIT.
stop telling me you do care and you do know when you have made sure I know you're lying.
"no you were not!" Yes. I was. You said <20% of Texans had "these attitudes" which, in the context of the topic (which I assumed, silly me, you also had in mind), was a ludicrously false thing to say, and your response was all "I'm the expert, RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!" and that I should be bludgeoned into silence because the whole society is built around catering to privileged me-- when, of course, the society is also in large part built around telling me I'm filth who should off myself or be killed. When you eventually explained that you meant <20% of Texans supported the abortion bill, that made it worse: it signalled that you were so utterly dismissive of the whole issue of homophobia you didn't even have it in mind, and could not conceive that I had it in mind either.
"because you are simply incapable of stopping yourself" I COULD, of course, stop posting-- but you are the one who pretends to want the conversation to cease. I don't order you to shut up, the way that you order me. I just point out that stopping is what you would do if you actually wanted the conversation over. What you want, instead, is DEFERENCE TO YOUR AUTHORITY. You want to push me around, and it upsets you that I have no interest in complying.
"since you so clearly don't give a fuck about our LGBTQ+ youth" No, that would be YOU. Goddamn you, you are the one who couldn't even conceive that homophobia was the subject."some bullshit you got off a Bernie Bros reddit page" The Bernie Bro was that Sarafina guy who butted in: they're the people who think nobody should talk about racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia etc. because only economic issues are of real interest, so anybody who talks about bigotries must be a bourgeois tool trying to distract the proletariat. This is how he reached the brilliant conclusion that I must be wealthy, when I'm an adjunct with zero retirement fund."you're actually straight because you sure do sound it" A lot of people would be very surprised to learn that. You sound like you have never talked to a gay person in your life, probably because you're afraid you'll catch cooties.
"I said they were concentrated in the suburban and exurban areas" You said there were practically none where 80% of Texans live and few where the 20% live. Later you justified this by citing polls on the abortion bill, an issue I had no reason to think you had in mind."you were too busy getting high off your own farts to READ ALL OF THE WORDS" I have read all your fucking words."shitting on Texans for sport" There you go then, denying that there are dangerous Texans. You appear to be one of them."especially our LGBTQ+ youth who you seem to think can get fucked as it doesn't personally affect you" WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??? YOU are the one minimizing and denying the existence of the dangerous bigots, and getting performatively outraged about anyone being concerned about them, and demanding the right to silence anyone who disagrees with you, although you cannot shut up about outrageous it is to think that bigotry in Texas is actually a problem.
'"you don't find these attitudes in strong numbers in any of Texas' urban areas--where 80% of the people live" But the Abbotts are getting rather more than 20% of the vote, more than 50% in fact.WOULD YOU LOOK JUST AT THAT?! you weren't just writing off me--you were writing off ALL TEXANS' HUH??? I did not claim that 100% of Texans are Abbott supporters. I pointed out that it is obviously more than 20%.
“…political aspirations are part of every attack on LGBTQ+ kids…”
That’s exactly fucking it. These politicians don’t give one tiny fucking fart in a hurricane about LGBTQ+ kids one way or another, and would be perfectly happy ignoring them for the rest of their lives. But some political strategist has told them that if they don’t do something fucked up they might lose a vanishingly small percent of the shitstain vote. And given that their voters are dying off at an alarming rate (old age and COVID), and they can’t afford to lose any more, they hike up their Nazi pants and jump into action!
"you understand me not at all because you have yet to LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE" I understand you perfectly. You think you have the right to rule me. If you actually wanted the conversation to end, you would stop posting, and that would be the end of it. You demand that *I* because you are a narcissistic troll who insists on being catered to."you are 100% dismissive of your lack of knowledge on this issue" I know that there are more than 20% of Texans who support various forms of bigotry, including the one that was at issue here, and that that is why Abbott is in power now, and thinks it politically advantageous to his continued power to do what he did. I know that it was ugly of you to dismissively post that there are hardly any people like that, and anyway they're not a problem, and anybody who disagrees should fuck off and die, DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME I SAID FUCK OFF AND DIE RIGHT NOW, GODDAMN YOU I TOLD YOU TO FUCK OFF AND DIE which is what I've been hearing from "good Christians" all my life. I am not seeing any daylight between you and Abbott."your first response to me indicated you thought Texas voters were a waste of time" I told you there are more than 20% on the enemy side, and if you refuse to acknowledge that then you aren't going to accomplish anything-- assuming that you are even opposed to them on this issue, which I am having difficulty believing.
I'm sure you think of yourself as a person of good will, but you present as a vicious bully of an all-too-familiar type, and eager to minimize and deny bullying by those around you. The spirit of combat and certainty of your own righteousness can lead people down some very dark paths. Maybe taking a break from it would do you some good.
it's vicious to suggest that our electorate can't turn this around. it's vicious toward LGBTQ+ CHILDREN. leave me the fuck alone. you are not a person of good will.
It's dismissive to pretend there is hardly any problem. That's what offended me at the start. It's also what makes not very optimistic about how likely you are, or even willing, to turn things around."leave me the fuck alone" You are not required to keep posting at me if you don't want to continue. You have got to lose this attitude that you, as a woman and a Texan, have an unquestionable right to command other people to shut up. You have managed to exemplify both the leftist stereotype of the woke mob insisting that all dissenting views be silenced, and the rightist stereotype of insisting that gay people must be just faking it as part of some insidious plot.

"you're not gay" Yes I am. Your arrogance is really off the charts.
go back and find one place where I said "AND DIE". I'm not waiting because you will not find it.
you may then FUCK THE FUCK OFF FOREVER.
boys need to learn to respect boundaries and you have no respect for anyone.
