I'd bet what's actually happening is there is a loud minority (fascists, politicians, christian totalitarians, etc.) and 99% of conservatives don't actually care beyond the obvious misinformation they easily fell for.
You're wholeheartedly buying into the conservative framing on this. It's fiction. Straight relationships aren't gonna vanish or become gauche or whatever. You seem to think that we've gone from telling queer kids that they're unnatural sinners, to telling straight kids that they're unnatural sinners. This has not happened. More kids are identifying as LGBT because, increasingly, nobody is being told they're unnatural.
When these kids are in their twenties the world will be changed, and it will never go back to the old way.
we're less than 20 years away from the next generation of kids changing the world permanently, and we've been less than 20 years away from this for the last 70 years. There is no salvation in waiting for [the alright kids to grow up / the dastardly old people to die]. People said the same goddamn thing about the hippies when they were growing up. Turns out, class interest reproduces itself. Just like there were boomers and gen-xers and millennials who bought into status quo politics because it aligns with their specific material interests, there will be zoomers who do the same thing and for the same reason.
The hippies did change the world permanently. The stereotype of the college professor used to be a stodgy old conservative with a sportscoat and patches on the elbows. Today's professor has a ponytail and is adjacent to Marxism. Change happens, it just doesn't happen as fast as people would like. It does happen, though, and it is irreversible.
It’ll be the same as a kid showing up in a sleeveless T-shirt and ballcap with confederate flag on it. You think anyone is going to have anything to do with him?
Depends on where you live, honestly. In my hometown? He'd probably be mallgoth tier - not detested, just sort of ignored. In my spouse's hometown? Watch your mouth, that's the captain of the football team you're talking about.
Conservatives seem to be winning the culture war pretty hard actually, at least on trans issues.
