You'd be surprised at how the wrong people in the right place can make all the difference. A lot of the world's perception of America comes from Hollywood, and Hollywood is typically self-referentially hateful of itself or anything considered the norm outside of California. Europe had BLM protests despite there being far fewer blacks, unarmed cops and mandatory bodycams; the UK's were especially bizarre considering the nation's role in ending slavery worldwide. I agree though it is retarded. It's not a gay-exclusive issue either, we're posting in a thread cataloguing retards who've defined their whole identity and mindset through the astroturfing of certain posts, literal AI slop, lies, and just wanting to "fit in".
Under half of all homosexuals have been molested as children and and 40% have been raped and feel like they can't
speak out about it. It'd either insinuate that's what made them gay to begin with (giving credence to anti-gays) or because its considered "normal" (since a lot of it is carried out by older men). It's to gays what non-compliance is to blacks.
