73. It is heterosexual privilege (heterosexism) on display.

I don't doubt other forms of bigotry may be just below the surface, but the comments here and elsewhere are out and out "straight privilege". For all the talk revolving around "checking one's privilege", it seems when it comes to LGB people, that "privilege" is hypothetical or not real to them, and unworthy of consideration. It does make one think (or it should), for all the protests from people about how "good" or "righteous" they would have been during historical tragedies (slavery in the US, the Native American relocations and genocides, the Holocaust, etc.), they aren't being true to themselves when in 2020, that is the 21st century, they can't stand up for GLBT rights, so why the fuck do they think they would have ever stood up for the rights of others in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and even the 20th (especially the earliest parts)?!

Frankly, this news reminds me how far we still have to go!!
