Would you mind clarifying that for me?
I'm not sure what you are saying here.....
@musicladyCertainly.
What I am saying is that under previously understood and conventionally-accepted social norms, homosexuals were commonly known - especially by their family, friends and acquaintances - to be just what they were. As such, most were treated not as pariahs, but as people - different, odd, flamboyant, even "queer", but still as essentially
human, which of course they were, and are.
The inevitable infiltration of Progressive politics upset these social norms, predictably politicizing the personal, and publicizing the private.
Thus it is no longer enough to merely accept as human, and subject to one's
considered respect, a homosexual man or woman.
What is now demanded is approval, neither considered nor earned, but as a matter of forced obeisance to the Progressive Catechism of Victimology.
