just wanted to tell you something rly interesting while i'm stoned x)
LGBT is not an inherent part of liberalism... it's only a main focus of more recent liberalism from the 2010s. Liberals from the baby boomers youth in 60s/70s were neutral about LGBT, they didn't really agree with it but allowed it to exist x)
I figured out the true reason why my parents are anti-LGBT
theyre born in the 50s x) They are part of the misunderstood baby boomers, the ones who grew up in hippie culture and are now seen as the typical "bible-thumping conservative bigot" when they actually have unique and dying worldviews
That generation of 60s/70s liberals is anti-LGBT because they were the stereotype of "nature-loving tree-hugging hippie liberal vegans who believe god is nature". They don't agree with T because it interferes with nature, they tend to be technophobes for the same nature arguments. they don't agree with LGB because there is this beautiful harmony where nature created 2 sexes that derive pleasure greater than any drug when they meet each other, and LGB disrupts that harmony
These are the people who wrote heterosexual love songs in the 60s.
But again these baby boomers are misunderstood, they keep this opinion to themselves because they're ashamed of their hippie past, so we tend to see them as boring old prune conservative bible thumping bigots
My theory explains why baby boomers are so anti-LGBT yet so stereotypically liberal and democrat in every other way
Their anti-LGBT arguments are secular and based on observations of nature, not religious
tl;dr: being pro-LGBT is NOT an inherent part of liberalism, only associated with 2010s leftism
This is the same generation that engaged in sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll so they are ashamed of their past and don't tend to elaborate on why they're anti-LGBT, they would sound like kooks and the hippie flower children they once were if they went on about "homosexuality disrupts the beauty of nature"
