It's weird to me to be in a conservative thought space like this and see someone say they don't care about my sexuality among other things. Because when I am in a real life conservative space, and I (69f) walk around town with my spouse (67f) literally minding our own business and not so much as holding hands, we regularly get stared at, laughed at, and occasionally spit at. We get denied restaurant service. Sales clerks may permit us to make a purchase, but they take a step backwards while taking our payment. Or instead they might disappear into the back room and not reappear until after we leave the store.
Trust me, it's not ME focusing on my sexuality. It's the conservatives around me. I'm just window shopping and stopping for lunch in a town I haven't visited before.
I don’t know any conservative who cares about your sexuality.
I’ve never seen that happen and my best friend is a trans woman who looks like a dude in a dress. She is not the least bit passing to anyone other than herself. She’s liberal. I’m conservative and nobody ever says a word to us when we are out and about. So maybe you need to stop and think about what you’re doing to repel people. My brother best friend was openly homosexual in the 80’s and no one ever denied us service when we all went out. I mean he was openly flaming gay. Never an issue.
So I am not saying your experience is false, but doesn’t match the experience I’ve had being around people of different sexualities than my own. Most people just don’t care unless you make a weird scene.
I would dearly love to live in the world you believe you inhabit. I won't bother continuing this discussion with you though, as I KNOW I'm doing nothing socially inappropriate or offensive beyond walking or eating next to my wife.
I just have a hard time believing people are spitting about you in the modern age.
When Growing up in the Bible Belt with an openly gay person in my social circle didn’t ever cause an issue. This is back when homosexuality was still a crime in many places.
I would say your experience is very unique in 2023 and it’s nothing I’ve ever seen or experienced. It’s nothing any of my friends have mentioned in their personal lives which normally would come if they were routinely being persecuted or assaulted with a deadly weapon.
So it just leaves me puzzled.
You don't have to keep lying. No one here believes you, but it doesn't fucking matter anyway. You don't get to use your ignorance and naive conservative experience to claim that bigotry doesn't exist.
Everyone here believes me. It’s a liberal lie that you are repeating.

Bahaha who flies the rebel flag and cries about their heritage when Confederate monuments are taken down?
Oops, sorry, I made you think
The disagreement button shows people are not believing you. You haven't walked a single day in a queer person's shoes, let alone a set of conservative shoes in a conservative area.
Ah like a child you seek approval by anonymous people.
I have walked with queer people in conservative areas. Hate to break it to you sunshine. Being queer isn’t something new. We had queer people when I was growing up in the Bible Belt.
People just like to claim to be victims when often it’s their own actions that draw the ire.
No, I'm stating that your claim of "everyone believes me" is obviously false.
The rest of what you said is just bullshit.
Let me rephrase that. Any conservative would believe me.
The rest of what I’ve said is true.
You got ~11 downvotes. And only your original upvote is the one on it. I highly doubt that every single person who downvoted your comment was a leftist.
Thanks. Do you have something of value to add to the conversation or are you just here to troll ?
You made an obviously false claim. I'm gonna call you out on that.
I cited evidence. You cited nothing. Have a good day.
Your anecdote is not evidence. And I cited the vote tally, which is verifiable unlike your anecdote.
Oh yes the vote count. lol yes that bearer of truth.
A bunch of liberals downvote. Heavens what am I to do!
You really think the person is constantly being assaulted and law enforcement isn’t involved? I find that hard to believe.
I didn't say it was the bearer of truth. It's basically an agree/disagree button. You said everyone agrees with you, but that's obviously not true. You then moved to saying that all the conservatives agree with you. But the only upvote on your comment was your own. So that almost certainly isn't true either.
I'd say it's more likely true than false. This country has a long history of hating and mistreating minorities and such. And calling the cops isn't going to help with people spitting at you, gawking, staring, or laughing.
