When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that's not fair!

And a vent about all of those who have "seen the light", not this guy, this woman is a straight up continuing unrepentant moron, but others.

These narcissistic morons wants all of us to simply forgive and welcome them back into the fold without judgment, feel sorry for them, and provide them the support they "need" because they fucked themselves over with their stupidity and selfishness.

No, your actions had massive consequences for the rest of us, you don't get judgment free forgiveness and unconditional support for your journey of getting your own head out of your ass.

You want that, take a picture of your ballot and post it online to prove that you actually learned your god damn lesson and don't vote stupid in the next and every election because your words are meaningless when your lack of intelligence to figure out the obvious.

As a 29-year-old lesbian engaged to be married, this turn of events is personal for me. And it may be one I helped contribute to.

No. You absolutey and whole-heartedly helped contribute to it.

I worked toward what I believed — and still believe — to be true. I still oppose radical gender ideology and Critical Race Theory in schools. I still believe that biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s prisons. But I will not stand by while LGBT rights are legislated away.

Human Rights belong to all humans, you racist TERF.

Reid Newton, from the bottom of my heart: I hope your life goes as well as you treat trans people.

None of that shit has anything to do with running a country. That's why you shouldn't have been backing it.

I made sure they came for everyone else but now they're coming for me and it's not fair!

They say stupid shit like this and wonder why we can’t take them seriously.

They're tokens that will be spent first.

Never get tired of the "This Far And No Further" civil libertarian.

My personal circumstances always demand a socially protected designation. But everyone who isn't me? Idk, they seem extremist and scary.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

Well, but of course. Because it's "This Far And No Further" for them, too.

If she wasn't gay herself, she'd be against gay people too.

Based off the sheer amount of AI slop on that website, I'm not entirely convinced that the author is even a real person.

bell hooks argues that gay men might be more aesthetically sensitive than other people. If this is true, then no gay man was involved in the art direction of Queer Majority because it is low-rent slop all the way down.

Many will say I should have seen this coming — that the right has and always will be against LGBT rights. And maybe there’s some truth to that. But that just wasn’t my experience. I was met with open arms by this messy coalition of ex-Democrats and lifelong Republicans, many of whom still support me and my right to marry. I found a community committed to reason and truth. Perhaps I’m simply realizing that there are fewer of us than I originally thought. The radical right is on the warpath against liberalism, trampling centrists, libertarians, and reasonable ring-wingers in the process. Ultimately, I don’t regret my decision. I worked toward what I believed — and still believe — to be true. I still oppose radical gender ideology and Critical Race Theory in schools. I still believe that biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s prisons. But I will not stand by while LGBT rights are legislated away.

Read: "The only rights that should be protected are mine."

There must be a path to redemption, but this one ain't on it.

this literally reads like the Martin Niemöller poem

What a fucking dumbass.

[–] ThisGuyThat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They spent their token for all it's worth.

Women who fall for conservatism are a special kind of stupid. They hate us, always. Even though we are the default and half the damn population.
