In further evidence of how LGBTQ+ activists and ideologues are undermining the hard-fought victories that gay men and lesbians won, consider this. Charles M. Blow, a social justice columnist for the New York Times, argues that queerness is chosen and we should stop saying people are born with an innate sexuality. Here, he draws heavily on academic queer theory and gender studies academics.
Blow writes:
“Born this way,” as a slogan, was a tremendous cultural and political success. The problem is that it isn’t supported by science. The emerging scientific consensus is that sexual orientation isn’t purely genetic. A person’s genetic makeup and exposure to prenatal hormones may provide a propensity to queerness, but they aren’t determinative. …
But the time may have come to retire the phrase. It is not only unsupportable by science but also does not capture the full reality of queer experience and is unjust to some members of the queer community itself.
Is it any wonder that there is a growing backlash against “LGBTQ+” when queer ideologues are undermining the arguments that won equality for LGB people while, at the same time, they’re pushing gender-nonconforming kids onto the trans train?

Not only is big LGBT+ activism wrong-headed and counter-productive, but thoroughly corrupt as well.

Who cares what someone from NYT says? Like this place it filled with those who live their silo in safe blue places and pontificate to the real world.
i KNOW I was born this way, it’s all I have ever known or been. Or did I somehow at age 3 decide I like dick?

Actually, a great many people care what a columnist in the New York Times thinks, as the paper drives the agenda of the liberal Democratic party establishment that sets national policy.

What a bunch of baloney. The NYT relentlessly attacked Clinton in 2016. How is that promoting the Democratic party?

I am sure I could ask every one of my neighbors, or walk thru our rural downtown and find MAYBE a handful of folks who read or hear anything from the NYT. Most folks don’t care.
