Perhaps people don't actually have an issue with what you do in your bedroom, but do get annoyed when it is constant flag-waving, pedophilia, and an overall intrusion into peoples' personal lives.
A campaign in the video game industry. Yeah, that will drive inclusion. People just LOVE their entertainment politicized. And if sales dip, or people complain, browbeat the fanbase. Because badering people is how you win culture wars.

Conventional wisdom goes: The young will lead when it comes to matters of tolerance and acceptance regardless of race, color, creed—or sexual orientation. But according to GLAAD, that conventional wisdom has been turned on its head, and Donald Trump is to blame.
GLAAD’s fifth annual Accelerating Acceptance Index, conducted by the Harris polling firm, found that when it came to seven key areas indicative of acceptance of LGBTQ people, the 18-to-34-year-old demographic was the only one to drop in the level of acceptance, the Daily Beast reports. -snip
I'm cool with it, hating on gay people isn't anything new; you're free to do it; edge and all. But the "homosexuality = pedophile" is a tired and lazy troll, I pointed that part out so you'd do better. Your targets have earned better trolling.

I had gay friends in high-school and they knew I was conservative on the matter. We were all grown-up adults and hence didn't politicize everything in our personal lives.
So I don't hate gay or the other sexually oriented people. What I don't like is when everything has to be politicized due to the LGBTQ agenda. Every movie. Every story. The creators feel compelled to push the agenda for no apparent reason.
You have "Hey Arthur", a show older than I am, being forced to air new episodes with main characters coming out as gay when the entire topic of sexuality, regardless of being straight/gay/etc, was never in the show to begin with given that---well---it's a children's show after all.
You have drag-queens coming to lecture to kids who barely understand themselves on the topic of sexuality.
And if someone has Black friends, they can't be racist or bigoted towards Black people, right.
Your overreaction to "everything gay" aside, you simply don't patronize a film, show or whatever if it hurts your sensitivities. Say it with your wallet.
But this is nothing new, I'm sure back in the day people freaked out over "miscegenation" that was being "forced" onto them with more and more TV shows, movies, adds and what have you showing interracial couples. FunFact: Uhura and Captain Kirk kissing was the first interracial kiss aired on television, 11/22/1968, the bigots and intolerant types went crazy over that too from what I've read.
Yes, some things can go too far and it's fine to point those out when they actually happen, but you don't throw everything out and/or blanket.
Groups like NAMBLA push pedophilia as something that should be socially acceptable; the LGBTQ community by and large does not support this.
Children's shows is not the place to be discussing the topics of sexuality given the audience's inability to grasp such concepts at their age.
Again, Robby, I'm suggesting that the majority of people are accepting of the LGBTQ community when they don't go around politicizing everything and being intrusive in everyones' day-to-day lives. This can be said for any issue really.
Developing new stories with diverse characters is also not an issue. It becomes an issue when these groups pressure changes into long-completed stories for no apparent reason aside from publicity. J.K Rowling comes to mind as does the aforementioned "Hey Arthur" example. Nothing new is added to the story-line by making Hermione black or Arthur's teacher gay---it's political fan service.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.

I'm in 100% agreement about children's shows and advanced sexual identity concepts.
Or any other social agenda, for that matter. Like that stupid "Newspapers! Everybody needs them! Newspaper! People need to read them!" song they filled our heads with back in middle school. Yeah, sorry print media, your propaganda efforts were no match for emerging technology.

There's quite a large gap between intolerance, acceptance, and whatever the hell they're shooting for.
I mean, I know plenty of lefties who accept openly gay people, but still feel uncomfortable about subject. There's people who feel uncomfortable about straight peoples sex lives, too.
Yet according to that poll from Glaad, if you claim discomfort, somehow that's discrimination on par with the KKK or something. That's a nuts standard of "acceptance".

lol I was under the impression (according to CNN & MSNBC) that everything is/was Trump's fault including the fall of Rome, the holocaust, the Bubonic Plague, and the crucifixion of Christ?
