    No, they understand perfectly well what’s happening. Many of their kids are rejecting their ideologies, which these conservatives have been working for years to instill in their kids. The kids understand, though, that the guy in the dress is a lot more tolerant and empathetic than their parents are.

    So these clueless parents have to insist the problem is with the gays, and if the gays just weren’t so gay out in public all the time, their kids would never have caught it. Because the alternative is that the parents have been teaching the wrong things all this time, and they would never admit that.

      Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if my ex father blamed queer media for me transitioning. And like yeah it contributed to the decision to choose to transition instead of trying whatever it took to dull the pain of dysphoria in a self destructive spiral. I prefer the college degree and happy marriage to the drug addiction I could’ve had personally
