A ton of people care when some people are not heterosexual.

Give it another generation.

Many more tons of people like to use that ton of stupid, ignorant people to gain power, make money and push their political agendas. Like the SPLC does in a different realm. .Ten or fifteen years ago I would have said 'give it a generation', but the left is doing everything it can to fan the embers. They don't want it to go away.

That's the typical response of bigots. It's not my fault that I'm a bigot; it's your fault for not pretending that it's gone away.

That makes absolutely no sense, especially given the context. Your response can only be seen as an attempt to insult, a failed one at that, when there is no cause. Childish at best.

The context is this statement: "the left is doing everything it can to fan the embers. They don't want it to go away."

That's the typical response from the right, and very notably form Flock. The implication is that because we don't have slavery and colored water fountains any more that racial prejudice is gone from this country except for a few guys who wear white hoods. And it's spoken by people who have never actually experienced racial prejudice and can't be in a position to judge whether it's gone or not. It's the equivalent of allowing the coach of the team that's ahead in the game to decide when the game's over. Of course, it's not gone, and we get reminders of this every day on social media. But as far as people like Flock are concerned, pointing that out is "fanning the embers."

Liberals and minorities don't manufacture bigotry and prejudice. It's there. And the way to get rid of it is to point it out and keep pointing it out until people are ready to do something about it. To make matters worse, there are a lot of people who probably don't personally harbor ill will towards minorities but cater to it in order to score political points.

So, in another generation, we won't have people who are so desperate for attention that they feel the need to answer questions that no one was asking? I can't wait!

[Presuming that the average American weighs between 150-200 lbs, that "ton of people who care about expressed sexuality" is about 10-13 people. ]

One word: Wrong!

Two words: Jussie Smollett

Three words: Liberal, minority, gay

Four words: Manufactured bigotry and prejudice

Five words: Flock's right and SSS's wrong.

If you want to put Jussie Smollett in some sort of tit for tat comparison against all the displays of right wing prejudice and bigotry in this country, then you go to the same school of mathematics as Donald Trump does.

And as far as I know, the only person Jussie Smollett hurt was himself, in more ways than one.

I'm not doing that. Just debunking your lie.
