When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that’s not fair!

    It’s the lesbians who are also racist ( not all lesbians, but the ones who happen to also be racist). I have personal experience with this and they are insane. In the same sentence they’ll go against BLM and then complain that their rights are being taken away. I’m not exaggerating. But on the plus side, I quit facebook 100% at exactly that moment.

    Edit: I didn’t mean it in the way I now see it sounds. Sorry about that lesbians, I didn’t mean to say all of you are racist. That one word made a difference.

    Edit 2: Clarifying further.

        Oh come on, let’s not engage in bigotry by painting all lesbians with the same brush.

        I didn’t? I said the “one’s who are racist.” You can be a straight racist, trans racist, lesbian racist, gay racist, etc. I think I had this idea that marginalized people would stick up for other marginalized people. It’s shocking that there are a percentage that are just as shitty as the straight racists.
