The headline over at WSJ is “Big Brands Rethinking LGBTQ Marketing.” Of course I could not read the full article because they don’t use a tip jar of any kind, they demand that you give them money if you want to read their articles.
But whatever they were saying, did corporate America ever really support the ALT community or simply used the ALT community to sew division and pit the American people against one another.
I do not mean to be disrespectful toward anyone, but just getting real. Did anyone really think putting a bunch of ugly men in dresses and sending them to some school event was going to accomplish anything other than hate against the community. Did anyone think pushing the agenda of allowing biological men in women’s bathrooms, was a cause worth falling on the sword.
And how crazy did the people have to be to create an alphabet to describe the alt community and then try to demand everyone follow that alphabet. And what the freak was the crap with the pronoun agenda and having Shitlers demand people use the “right” pronoun for whatever turd wandered into the room.
I always like to try to remind people that we live a world of deception. Things are often not what they seem. Con Artists who set up some “advocacy” groups pretending they want to help this community or that community really just want to con people out of money. And to keep the grift going they do not really want to reduce hate against that community because they need that hate to raise money. They are like big pharma who want to treat an illness at considerable cost to the sick but then they don’t really want to cure anything. #opinion
The truth is, there will always be hate but if the laws are upheld for everyone, and not just for this group or that group, in the USA the community of whatever kind is protected by the law. And the law should make clear that you don’t hurt people; period. The government should never be allowed to act as though one group of people is more important than another group of people. It is not about bullshit labels but the humanity of everyone. Any politician who supports passing laws based on labels such as antisemitism, which is just a bullshit word that goes back to the 1800s, should NEVER be voted into office again. That should be enough to end their political career because that kind of law violates the constitutional principle of everyone being equal under the law and equally protected under the law and the solid principle that the government should never get involved in religion.
But from different side of the square…
The fantasy the marketers created for the ALT community did not really represent the ALT community. The gay community is not defined by their fashion sense but their sexual proclivity. And in America why should anyone want to pick that scab. Yeah, we all know it is there. But just leave it alone. As long as it is legal, no one cares what kind of sex you have unless you put it in their face and the truth is, no one of any community wants that.
I understand the labels were needed to some degree in the early years for political purposes but they were always a double edged sword. People love their shit talk. People love to pick at each other. And the truth is a lot of the shit talk was not really against the Alt community but just people attacking one another regardless of their sexual proclivity or drug usage or whatever.
So there may now be a movement where the alt community will mostly fade into the background. The grifters will find it more difficult to raise money and Corporate America will be less likely to offer money. The main thing is not to get the shit talkers to stop shit talking, but rather to make damned sure that the Government and the Corporate Police State do not again start hurting people as badly as they have done in the past.
To some degree the Alt movement was used for a distraction and to get the community to fall on the sword for the wrong reasons and to sew distractions while laws were being passed that hurt all Americans.
Censorship is not good. Do not be tricked into supporting censorship.
Raids on bars and police targeting certain communities is not good.
The government trying to paint all sex workers as either the predators or the victims in some false charge of human trafficking is not good. Destroying certain motels where such activity may or may not have been taking place is not good.
If you want to get married then great. The slow, creeping, movement to try to force people to get married is not good.
Again, we live in a world of deception. Do not be fooled by the bullshit!!!
