Wrong. We aren't the ones demanding celebration and acceptance.
Most of us would be fine at the tolerance level, but that isn't good enough for you idiots.

Logically and rationally its the only way. If you see it different you can enlighten me.

Texas Republicans spend the final days of session attacking books, the unhoused, and your
‘Yesterday, the Texas House met for over 16 hours, adjourning after 2:00 am, and then gaveling back in this morning at 10:00 am. With only six days left, it’s all about how much damage they can do to Texans before the clock winds down. As a lifelong Texan and self-proclaimed TX-Lege nerd, I can tell you a whole bunch. But you have to remember, while the Legislature is passing all kinds of unconstitutional bullshit, half of it won’t even stand up in court.
To give you an idea of how often their authoritarian laws get thrown out, let’s take a look back:
In 2021, a federal court invalidated a provision in SB1, the voter oppression bill, that restricted compensated canvassers from engaging in voter advocacy near mail-in ballots.
Last session, Republicans banned drag shows. A federal judge ruled this law unconstitutional.
The “Death Star Bill” from 2023 was thrown out, deemed unconstitutional. However, I think this one is still making its way through appeals courts.
Jared Patterson’s (R-HD106) book-burning bill was struck down in the 5th Circuit for being unconstitutional.
So, when you see some of the laws Republicans are passing this session, it’s easy to feel deflated and discouraged, but even if these laws pass, it’s vital to remember that the fight isn’t over. When Abbott signs them into law, that’s when groups like the ACLU and LULAC take them to court.
I bring this up because one of the bills that passed yesterday was the GOP’s latest book-burning iteration. SB13, also known as the “Book Ban 3.0” for those of us keeping count, passed the second reading in the House with an 87-57 vote.’

And the same is true in other Republican-controlled states – the same reckless, irresponsible culture war idiocy, the same contempt for sound governance and responsible public policy.

And you are demanding no acceptance and glorification of the 1950s way of life.
Yeah, your ilk are part of the problem not the solution.

Siding with Illegal Alien Criminals and Visa overstayers and home grown Criminals and Marxist Anti Semites and foreign America / Israel hating Islamist Students , and Pedo / NAMBLA / MAP types is not a winning strategy
"They" want to use the government to dictate societal norms. They want to use the state to force bakers to make cakes for gays. They want to use government to dictate what we teach our children. They want to use government to force private institutions to abide by the values of the current administration. They want the government regulating bathroom etiquette. They want government controlling the media. They want the government to tell their neighbors how to live.

dblack wants normal Americans to accept the weirdness of the AltRight and MAGA ways as normal.

LOL, not even fucking close.
No one should be able to demand acceptance of anything culturally, just tolerance.

No, you don't. I messed up and apologize.
I won't go back but I do know Marty wants us to rededicate ourselves to the cultural norms of the past, and tolerance for LGBTQ+ is not part of that.
Government should have no say in those kinds of social issues.

You do not have to accept that belief. You do have to tolerate it within the protection of law.

Having your kids be required to participate in pride events in school isn't toleration, it's forced acceptance.

Deflect like your normally do, horsecock.
No, no, no. That won't do at all. We need a federal law banning the use of the word "gay" in public buildings.
You are talking in circles. You said:
And I responded:
True. But really, one side has to win. You cannot allow some men in womens sports, or some men in womens locker rooms. Its an "all or nothing" deal.
Now tell me what in hell you are trying to say?
