Couple of older people, as well as myself and a few younger guys my age (We're Gen Z), were discussing faggots because there was a trannie in here earlier wanting her (Biologically a female) truck fixed.
After she left, we started talking about it as a topic, and everyone else pussy footed around it until I just bluntly and loudly said I ain't caller her a "man" and all the queer, gay, and trans crap is wrong. After which they all started being more open about their opposition to it all.
In fact, I actually managed to pique their interest when I said I believe they're all mentally ill, similar to someone with bipolarism or schizophrenia, but no one will allow research to be done into a cure since it will "offend the queers".
This just goes to show, far fewer people approve of, or accept the fag and trans crap than polls and stats would let on. They're just too scared and cowardly to say in public out of fear that they'll be attacked in some way.
TLDR: Had a based conversation with a bunch of cowards once I bluntly said faggotry is evil and wrong and they're all mentally ill.
It is possible that some physical defect or infection causes people to be gay. I suppose in some cases it could be considered a mental illness.
I don't have a problem with adults wanting to remain gay if they are comfortable with it being part of their persona, but I'm not going to celebrate that choice. They are living a deviant lifestyle and I shouldn't be expected to applaud them for being that way. We should not want children to see it and think it is glamorous because it isn't. It's a controversial way of living that is often accompanied by ridicule and abuse. It's impossible to procreate with a same sex partner, and the value of having a man and a woman present when raising children has been vastly downplayed to try to support the "gay is great" narrative. I don't want to help normalize it because it isn't normal. It is a situation to be avoided if possible.
The ones I have no doubt are mentally ill are the trans folks. Their symptoms are very similar to anorexia. Anorexics think they're too fat, trans people think they're in the wrong body. Neither of them are correct. We don't treat anorexia by agreeing with them that they're fat and helping them diet. We shouldn't treat trans-(rexia?) by agreeing that they're in the wrong body and helping them mutilate their genitals.
