I'm not sure why he says "opinion continues to decline." Isn't it the opposite?

u/bunker_man Sep 28 '14

People who are anti gay think that their opinion is obvious, and that other opinions are merely a fad of indulgence that gets big at a given time. Or at best they think its two equal opinions which might go back and forth. So to them its obvious that people will realize it makes no sense eventually. They don't understand that its basically an idea that once someone moves away from, realistically there's not much that will make them go back.

u/mayonesa would include in these social issues they will grow out of things such as having non-white Christians in America.

He is a "race realist"

He seems to post extensively in r/foodforthought, where they eat that shit up.

Yep, one of the reasons I unsubscribed.

Any sub where Mayonesa's posts get upvoted is likely full of shitty people.

You would think with all of the liberalism and hedonism of the 1920s, gay and feminist issues would have been widely accepted by the '50s or so, but it didn't happen, why? Because in the intervening years things happened to give people more realistic viewpoints.

I... wat?

DAE Gay 20's??!?!

Gay rights and feminism should have been huge in the 20's, because they had flappers and bootleg likker!

But then the Great Depression set them straight.

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '14

I assume that they mean that flappers caused the Great Depression.

Nothing like a guy with 18th century views on race trying to lecture young republicans on how to handle 21st century gay rights.

Not that I want to discourage him. The more that party stays in its ways the more it drifts from the public.

No no, the real bigot is the one who can't accept mayo's bigotry.

The bigotry is yours, obviously. You're afraid of any ideas but those from your own narrowly-constructed little world.

It's like American conservatives have turned projection into a national sport

In the distant future, I could easily see gay marriage become a conservative issue.

Gay marriage is a cool guy.
