The extent to which fash fixate on LGBT people is bizarre to me. Like, I get why it's politically beneficial for them, but their sheer obsessiveness makes me feel like something more has to be going on.
the explanatory power of narratives of decline, and especially of breakdowns in the sexual order. your children won't talk to you because of their pronouns. you don't have a girlfriend because they all think they're men. things of that nature.
It's actually not politically beneficial at this point. I don't want to whistle past the graveyard, but general acceptance if queer people seems pretty well solid at this point. Like most people just don't give a shit anymore, we're their family members and children it's not important.
If LGBTQ people get rights, then they lose a scapegoat which then makes it harder to fearmonger to distract from their shitty policies and overt corruption.
