And, while I've nothing against the diversity of sexual expression, I can't help but wonder at all this "normalizing" of LGBTQ.
I think it's important to accept people regardless of their sexual orientation, don't get me wrong. But to "normalize" it? Meh. And why should - really - anyone's sexual orientation or predilection be any of my business?
It used to be we "normalized" things like owning a house, having a job, children. And we accepted people who chose differently. But it seems that as this becomes less and less of a possibility we've come to embrace "the alternatives" as the new normal - which they are not, they are compromises to an increasing fractured and divisive economy and society. Which - to an extent - might explain the rise of the far right in the USA and elsewhere.
Wanting to own a house, settle down, have children? This is the new "perversion".
And - note - it's in every wealthy persons interest to "normalize" settling for less - lower wages, higher prices - anything that brings money into their pocket has to be legitimized and regarded as "normal".
