Today, lesbian gay and bisexual people have a new global organization

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

Maybe some places were like that but when I was growing up it was more tolerant and inclusive and yes not perfect but anyone who did that kind of bashing was looked at as a throwback and bigot. I've had gay and transgender friends through my life and while that's not my team it was never a big deal.

It was when the brakes (which I thought were regressive and mean) were taken off the LBGT movement in the 2010s, and the movement itself began witchhunting anyone who did not 100% agree with them like that Harry Potter lady, and moved as fast as they could to push every limit with every dirty trick of censorship, name-calling, deplatforming of 'bigots', overt ideological infiltration of education and media, showing no desire to tolerate or find any balance—that is when I reconsidered. I reconsidered the 'wisdom' I had once discarded that, if you do not push and contain what was called 'degeneracy' in society, it will push and push to subsume and before you know it children will be on the front-lines and phrases like 'virtuous pedophile' will be spoken without irony.

For me, it is the opposite of what you are saying, sadly, it is LGBT itself that did the 'imprinting'. And I suspect that there is a new balance being found in society: the more the agenda is pushed, yes, a few more youth will be convinced to the cause, but also increasing more adolescents and adults are seeing LGBT-everywhere as an uncompromisingly metastatic extremism.

Its all uncompromising and metastatic. 

Cultural memes always are. 

But ill let my will to speak clearly expose too much.

The LGBT brakes coming off was largely promoted by those of us with trauma on missions to avenge coldhearted religiousity and intolerance indoctrinated by dictates of scripture, which we feel contradicts compassion and reality.  

I let the brakes come off because of schadenfreude. 

I knew it would backfire, and I didn't care. 

My thoughts were. 

"Oh poor you, you cant teach your kids that gay is immoral and sick anymore or scare them into your safe space. And your getting ostracized for thinking differently than the expectation of culture, now? And the state is only letting you opt your kids out, same as always, but you cant stop the other kids from influencing your own? 

Shame. But hey, maybe we could send you all to woke conversion camp until you praise the altar of diversity and we fix your mind to OUR tastes." 

And it really was that bitter/vengeful. 

Watching the tables turn on traditional values for being antiquated and rooted in the damage of religious intollerance was as enjoyable as watching it get eradicated is for many of you.

Both the brakes coming off, and slammed back on,  thrown in reverse has their need for cultural revenge in common.

In short: I didnt care because I liked that rainbows and drag queens made people uncomfortable. "They" earned it for 1700 years of what i saw as unnatural dictate.
