I saw that documentary and anyone who hasn't seen it should see it, even if there are overtones of "Orange Man Bad" and the editing of that Senate scene.
I probably cried at that documentree more than anything else in my adult life.
I used to think like you, Ray. The problem is that, in America at least, once we legalized gay marriage, it went to tranny stuff (bathrooms, story hour) within just a couple of years, and now trannies are raping kids in schools. Without legalized gay marriage, none of that would be happening.
Also, I think the "born in the wrong body" is a mental problem that indicates there are other mental issues, and sadly, those aren't getting addressed. Instead, it's just cut off your genitals and take these drugs. It's sickening.
But I fell for it. If a dude wants to be with another dude, who am I to judge. Except what it leads to.
It also completely ignores that most gay men were molested as kids. So we're grooming the groomers. How is this good?
I love the sentiment. Not sure how I feel about it.
Rogers was an extraordinary human being. I want to believe that he'd be horrified at how the media incites us against each other and would be trying to be a sane voice. If he were alive today he'd be called racist, no doubt. Just the thought of that alone 30 years ago was laughable. But here we are.
I want to think that if he were alive today, he would speaking out as much as he could about the evils our culture extolls as virtues.
You're welcome to your view. I don't hate you for it. It's not like I wasn't jaded at some point. When I drank a lot, I don't believe I had many positive thoughts about the world.
My thing is this: we're all trying to get by. Don't hurt kids. Don't willingly hurt others. And seriously, love who you want to otherwise - I don't really care. I've seen the Lows and how bad the world can be. I'm not saying it's still not there - it is. I just try not to focus on it anymore.
I've met all types of people in my travels, good and bad examples. I try to focus on the good - yes, I, who goes on tangents of disgust over a fat science fiction autist larping as an "author". But that excluded, I focus on that good, and try to give that back out into the universe because, well, without that, what's the point?
Call me simplistic or naive.
