Breitbart ^ | 27 Jun 2019 | DR. SUSAN BERRY

A survey produced by the Harris Poll in partnership with Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) finds young Americans’ comfort with LGBTQ individuals has plunged from 63 percent in 2016 to 45 percent in 2018.

According to the Accelerating Acceptance report, Americans aged 18-34 who say they are comfortable interacting with LGBTQ people dropped from 63 percent in 2016 to 53 percent in 2017, and then to 45 percent in 2018.

The survey results are published as lesbian, gay, and transgender activists celebrate Pride month.

“At the same time, the Trump administration continues to attack the LGBTQ community through discriminatory policies and targeted rhetoric, and LGBTQ Americans are becoming more vulnerable to hate crimes and violence,” GLAAD said in response to the survey outcome.

This story is a few months old, but I had not seen it before.

Possibly a rise in sanity as a result of the leftists overplaying their hand.

I would posit that the cause of it is the more exposure of the Alphabet People, the more they are disliked.

There’s not a show on TV that does not unnecessarily insert homosexuality where it does not belong.

Example: Mind Hunter, a show about the early days of the FBI criminal profiling department.

he doctor character in reality was a lady professor) who was happily married mom (now grandmother). Over the objections of her family, the show writers made her into a lesbian.

We’ve always been extremely careful with TV and the internet in our family. Most Orthodox Jews simply don’t have it in their house.

I’m beginning to think I was wrong.

But my kids are very good at spotting garbage on their own, reporting it, and we find something else.

Big Media’s attempting another hit on Trump, who said something to the effect that the letterfreaks didn’t have a better friend in the White House.

The chic, trendy pop delusion that a XX can become a XY, and visa versa, has outlived the publics’ attention span.

I suspect a major dealbreaker of tolerance is the Trans demand for everyone to use
the “proper pronoun” and nothing else. That’s Strike One. Otherwise, you could literally lose your job. There are teachers, doctors and other professionals who have lost their jobs over this foolishness.

Allowing Trans-’women’ to steamroll real girls in competitive sports is Strike Two. People have about had enough of unconditional catering to this group without pushing back in some way.

Gays have no one to blame but themselves. A few radical gays push the envelope by making over the top demands on bakeries and photographers. This is why there is push back. People do not like such behavior, I feel that Gay couples should be granted certain accomodations but they should not be granted protected status (e.g. race, religion etc)

I think that's exactly right, and I suspect that has less to do with gays and lesbians than it does having transgenders forcing the rest of society to adapt to them rather than vice-versa. Things like restrooms, showers, males on female sports teams, etc., is just a bridge too far for many people.

Fortunately, the whole concept of intersectionality that dominates Democrat politics means that they can't back off from backing "transgender rights." So they're stuck with a position that's very unpopular with the public.

Mindhunter is a great show, but its sad they had to shove SJW down everyones throat when they do not have to.

At some point anyone and everyone can get tired of stuff being shoved down their throats.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Reminds me of something my aunt said to my mom and their younger sister.

“Oh, my! Here comes Mrs. Smith. I’ll warn you now, when you first meet her you won’t much like her. But after you get to know her, you won’t like her at all.”

Perhaps it’s because the LGBZTQ crowd is largely obnoxious and in-your-face about their “identity.” Just yesterday, I saw an obese lesbian wearing a shirt “Gay F-—ing Proud.” At the gym last week, it was an overtly feminine dude wearing a shirt “Gay AF.” Shut up already. And your vulgarity isn’t winning a lot of converts.

As kids get told to be homosexuals or else, they are fighting back. Their instincts are not homosexual.

Nothing quite as nasty as medicine forced upon you. Now, if we could only socialize Hollywood with what they are advocating for the middle class . . .

” they had to shove SJW down everyones throat when they do not have to.”

I had to actively edit my post on my phone to avoid that phrase.

Ha.
