Christians literally go door to door: “Knock Knock Knock. Have you found Christianity? I’ve chosen a christian way of life and I think it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be christian. I think you should raise your children to be christian. I think we should teach christianity in school. I think we should elect christian leaders. I think we should have a christian society.”
So they think gay people go around going: “Knock Knock Knock. Have you found gayness? I’ve chosen a gay way of life and it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be gay. I think you should raise your children to be gay. I think we should teach gayness in school. I think we should elect gay leaders. I think we should have a gay society.”
Which is of course as ridiculous as thinking: “Knock Knock Knock. Have you found left-handedness? I’ve chosen a left-handed way of life and it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be left-handed. I think you should raise your children to be left-handed. I think we should teach left-handedness in school. I think we should elect left-handed leaders. I think we should have a left-handed society.”
(Now it’s not just gay, it’s trans too.)
I love the fact that people joke about this nowadays. Because my mom still has bad memories from her childhood, where her teachers forced her to be right handed, acting as if it was a choice, and she was just really bad at writing. This was not a third world country either, but the Netherlands.
U.S. same here, my mother’s teachers AND my grandmother beat her regularly with a ruler if she tried writing with her natural dominant hand.
Was so cursed it followed her the rest of her life and even after she was living on her own she wouldn’t use her left hand for writing.
The year she passed away she told me about it with tears in her eyes, it stuck with her for 70 years.
