Reply to comment by electric-angel in More Same-Sex Couples Eligible for Survivor Benefits After VA Policy Change by EssoEssex

Like a third of the country is vitriolically homophobic. They've been pretty focused on trans women lately, but they would definitely have less than positive takes on this if they were made aware

so its subjective ?

honestly though what has trans to do with homophobia. dislike of one state of human isnt dislike of another. if we even should be comparing those 2 human traits,

Yes but there is considerable overlap between the homophobes and transphobes.

Just visit your local church or school board in the Midwest or south and you’ll see the overlap. Actually I’ll add some more. Check out Parler, 4chan, 8chan, Bitchute, and iFunny. Or check out r/ForwardsFromKlandma and you’l get a bunch of examples.

It’s more like hateful propaganda thinly veiled behind memes.

No, I’m disliking them for their opinions. Not the fact they are expressing it. Their opinions are racist, queer-phobic, antisemitic, and often include views and imagery related to nazism and theocracy.

Thats the core of hatred and close mindedness Taking one impression of 1 trait of a person and then generalizing it. 1 bad trait must mean the whole person is bad. You do t know me we have talked once now. Wouldnt it be a little arrogant to assume tou have a good image of who i am.

No it isn’t a generalization. Because you showed sympathy for neo Nazis. Fascism as an ideology lead to the deadliest conflict in human history killing an estimated 50 to 80 million people. Anything remotely humane as anti-fascist, I’m not arguing with you any further.

This conversation is over. I got a cheese board waiting for me.
