OK...a bit of hyperbole. Very few people care. Perhaps you haven't heard, gays, especially gay men, aren't "real" minorities. Given we "choose" to be gay, well, we have only ourselves to blame. Of course, if gay people were only "out", then no one could discriminate against us. Yeah, that is a belief by some. The idea that straight privilege exists (heterosexism) seems to be lost on too many people, which explains the constant barrage of "straight 'splainin'".

Not letting Trump off the hook of course, but we will still have to deal with this after he is removed.
