Sometimes, though, it takes a huge crisis to "wear thin." It took a deadly disease like AIDS to set the movement back 20 years... but that's about right. These things tend to ebb and flow in generations. What one generation experienced and rejected, the next embraces.
But AIDS didn't set it back. Why do you think the Homosexuals fought tooth and nail to keep the bath houses open after G.R.I.D. (Gay Related Immune Disorder: later renamed Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome) was identified?
Because there is no real sympathy in a normal heterosexual population for people who just engage in unnatural and revolting sexual behaviour. But when they are dying of an incurable disease, and especially when that same disease can be spread to innocents like Kimberly Bergalis, then the handwringing begins, the group is
really oppressed
because they're dying, (you heartless b@stards!), even if it is a result of their aberrant sexual behaviour, and you're a
hater if you won't dump trillions down the 'find a cure' rathole (F*ck cancer, anyone can get that, cure AIDS!).
Add in an entire generation of cultural programming from the teevee, from the media, and in the SCHOOLS and sure, it's more accepted. Goebbels would be so proud!
Jesus is out of the school system, bone smugglers are in, and being taught to
grade schoolers.
Well, if the funding and effort spent trying to find a cure for a disease that is just 'managed' so some people can collect the $500-$750K in medical costs to keep these people alive (the real reason for Obamacare), incidentally, to continue to spread the disease, had been spent on curing cancer, maybe cancer would have been cured by now.
Of course that isn't the way the heavily homosexual media (television, film, theater) have presented the issue, and that's likely the very sort of indoctrination that has resulted in greater acceptance.
But there are also the social pressures to 'accept' the idea of a male calling another male his 'husband', the legal protections for those who want to practice their perversity, the whole 'Emperor's New Clothes' herd mentality that refuses to say "It's gross!" out of fear of being sued, called a "hater", etc.
Why do Americans commonly estimate the percentage of homosexuals in the US to be around 20%? Because that's the ratio of gays to straights in the average TV show, 1:4. In reality, it's a tenth of that, the difference the result of being indoctrinated with the barrage of pro homosexual propaganda and Hollywood efforts to normalize behaviour which isn't normal.
What is wearing thin is the 'inch' asked for was decriminalization and tolerance has become a quest for forcing the rest of America to not only tolerate but to celebrate the lurid perversities of a lifestyle that, despite its hijacking of a word meaning happy, commits suicide at a rate 1.5 to 3 times normal folks, not counting those who intentionally acquire AIDS.
Bottom line is that instead of treating what was once listed as a mental disorder, now aspects of our society promote it.
That wears thin with me, and actually did long ago. I have little pity for those who suffer from self-inflicted wounds.
