It's getting more and more difficult to understand where they are coming from. I ask my boyfriend what we want to make for dinner, while our speaker asks his son, a minor, to monitor him so that he doesn't get addicted to porn. The relationship I have with my boyfriend is just as healthy, maybe even more healthy than the relationships I've had with women. I give people a pass in the 00s since being queer was rare, but queer people have been in the mainstream for well over a decade at this point, and we are a known quantity. We just want a happy life like everyone else. That's it.

I often laugh that some religious people most likely spend more time thinking about gay sex than we do. Which is once a week if that for us.

I thought you wanted to indoctrinate the kids with the woke mind virus, and various other buzzwords and word salad
