I posted it 4 hours ago now and thankfully, it only seems like we have a couple of bigots. That's pretty good for the internet.
Lemmy always seems to be pretty good. Nice being on a social media platform where people can have compassion for others.

My take is: Guess Lemmy just hasn't stretched out far enough.
I love that I refreshed the front page to find this meme at the top with "-2 new comments" but at least the whole thread hasn't been nuked.
Nice work mods, let's keep hateful comments to a minimum while still encouraging healthy discussion with people that might honestly not know better.
Lol. My only regret is not taking a screenshot of that one guy getting destroyed by like 20 different research papers
He ignored those and kept replying the same nonsense to everyone else. Looks like he got hammered by a mod.

When the gay marriage vote came to Australia, my household got very political. I voted yes, but both of my dads voted no.
I never understood the gays who voted no on a referendum back in the 2000s and justified it with some religious and heteronormative bs like "marriage is from religion by religion" and "we're the outliers, so we shouldn't make people conform to us". Like, how self-hating and backstabbing can you be. If you don't want it, you don't have to have it but let others realize their dreams at nobody's expense.

Why is everyone complaining about child grooming lately? I get my dog groomed once a month and the first couple days of her smelling nice is the best. Do you all just like dirty kids?
Hopefully unnecessary but, /s
I have a teenager- so it's not that I like that she's dirty, it's just that she's at that age.

I firmly believe some children need grooming. Comb their hair once in a while!

When I was in middle school pretty much every teacher in the school was in one big lesbian menage a trois. Everyone knew it, and they would all cycle through being roommates with each other. Last I checked, there wasn't an unusual amount of gay alumni. On an unrelated note, we also learned important skills like critical thinking and understanding the world we lived in, turns out that mattered quite a bit more in my life so far.
That sounds absolutely hilarious. The closest I ever got to that was spotting a middle school teacher years later at a Pride festival. He did not remember me and I was too shy to go talk to him. I had the hunch that he was gay but it would've meant a lot to me if he were out during that time. Oh well, he was a great teacher regardless.

Is this how ~~conservatives~~ homophobes try to play the victim here? "Oh we're in the minority now, let's pretend we need to come out"?
No, I think the joke is that just talking about your life is considered coming out or even "proselytizing", if you're not heterosexual.
I'd always say "I sit there and listen to my teachers talk about their sex life" as a joke when someone asked me how my day was back then, I didn't think it'd turn into reality.
