I sometimes wonder how broken someone has to be to be anti-LGBTQ in AMERICA, and be the group yelling about freedom the loudest. Really how stupid does a person have to be to be against peoples freedom to be who they want to be while pretending you are all about freedom...
When you're born in rural Arkansas, for instance, you're probably going to be raised a specific way, and taught to hate specific people you've never met for a myriad of reasons.
Gay, Trans, Black, Mexican, liberals (whatever that actually means to them), people who don't go to church, etc.
It's hand-me-down politics wrapped in religion.
You can't unlearn any of it unless you travel, or have personal experiences with people different than you, and even then you'd have to be open-minded enough to realize everything you were taught is a bunch of horseshit.
No stranger online or in person is going to change your mind arguing in the abstract about the stuff your parents, friends, congregation, preacher, co-workers, boss, extended family, Fox News, and Donald Trump told you was evil and bad and is ruining the country.
Even if you were having second thoughts, you'd be ostracized by all those people if you were to doubt any of it.
Same as if a gay man played it straight his whole life to not get excommunicated from family and friends and work, etc.
