The Anti-LGBT Bigots Came Out Today
People who hate minorities for years have been asking why there isn’t a Straight Pride Day, or a White History Month, because they don’t get that the world – or at least, America – was created around them. America for centuries has been dedicated to the advancement of straight white people, especially men. (For the record, I like straight people, white people, and straight white people, so don’t go there.)
But now that people of color and LGBT people and women are being recognized as equal and important parts of society, some feel their world slipping away. (Enter Donald Trump and his supporters.)
