Absolutely not, it is you that is stuck in the 60's and if you were alive back then (I wasn't) I'm fairly positive that your views haven't changed much if not at all. It's pretty depressing to have to read your posts day in and out about how much you hate how the world has changed and your inability to change with it.
I was a 1970's kid and I grew up learning how to be tolerant of all races, ethnicities and religions. I know it's hard for you to justify in your narrow mind but even the founders stated that "all men are created equal" . They didn't practice what they preached at the time but we later came around to include all men and yes, even women into our society as we should.
Later, we even came to realize that people are all not the same. Some heave an affinity for the same sex, some don't feel comfortable in their own skin and want to change, some even like to dress up and pretend that they could be another person without going through all the medical process. It makes no bit of difference to people like me but you see it as some sort of character flaw, which is wrong. If it makes them a much more happy and productive person that can better contribute to our society as a whole, then so be it.
Why they are ridiculed and scorned by people like you will always be a mystery to me. I have news for you, when I was young and growing up I had gay male friends who expressed themselves to me, close friends, but I never went down that path because ,well, I'm not gay and had no desire to be. Did I run around school shouting "faggot" and making their lives even tougher? No, I hooked them up with other like minded people I knew so they could experience the joy I felt by holding hands or kissing my girlfriends.
Nobody groomed me and nobody is grooming your kids either.
Of course, they had to keep extremely private about it because again, people like you would have ostracized them or even try to physically harm them so it always had to be a secret which is not very healthy either and that's a hard world to live in when you're just a young teenager trying to find your way through this shitty world. Some are more equipped than others to bee able to handle it, some are not and spend their lives on the fringes, not ever being able to face their realities. Those are the ones who are most troubled by your standards and eventually decide this planet is not for them. They take their own lives and that's extremely sad.
My thing about racism would take up a whole other page but I got some yard work to do, so I'll get back to you on that, only to suffice it to say that it does exist and is still alive and well to this day. Breaking it down into a political ideology is VERY disingenuous. I'm sorry that you never have grown as our society has but the rest of us have.
you can forward this to your pal conix too.... You think progressives are in a bubble, look around for a few seconds because we are the bubble that surrounds you.
