Why does it seem the world is all of a sudden concerned about sexual orientation? Especially America. Did I miss how far we came as a society to see it take a 40 year step backwards?
Because Americans are too ignorant and uneducated to assemble tribally over any actually important issue. Heck most people on Lemmy think if you're gay and go to UAE they just chop your head off and bury you under a camel. The reality is that the world doesn't care, just keep your private life private. But when your entire identity becomes a label you have to shout at everyone it's basically veganism
"Keep your private life private"
Okay so I can't hold my gf's hand in the street but if I had a bf it would be normal. In some countries I wouldn't be allowed to marry her. Are those issues of making my private life public?
A lot of people do care and hate us. Im getting weird looks everytime I'm with her in the street. So shut up about issues you're not concerned with.
That's not true at all. You have a warped view of the reality because of being fed negative propaganda.
The same way the North Koreans believe weird untrue things. You can see that propaganda because it's transparent to anyone who has lived outside that bubble. The American propaganda is equally stupid
I don’t think it’s good to just generalise a whole country of people. I’m not American but I realise we only really see the lunatics and crazy opinions. The regular people are as boring and uninterested as the rest of us, it’s just that doesn’t drive engagement.
Edit: Dudes complaining about mods here being as bad as Reddit stating no alternative opinions allowed. Strikes me if you’re having comments removed on multiple sites, that you’re the issue and not the mods. Perhaps conduct yourself better.
It's not an incorrect generalization when it is stereotypically true. Also good to see the mods here are just as shit at reddit. No alternate opinion allowed.
