I’ll try to ignore the blatant homophobia here and say that you at least acknowledge the staggering suicide rates and mental health issues that queer people face. Unfortunately it is homophobic attitudes like yours that are the underlying cause. Queer people still face real risks from being outcast in their families to physical violence when they walk down the road or use the bathroom.
I knew that I was gay and trans people existed long before there were NHL Pride events. These events don’t “push” anyone towards a “lifestyle”. Do more queer people live openly today than they did decades ago? Yes almost certainly. It’s because events like Pride show them that they are welcome to live authentically.
Left handedness surged over the past century…not because people suddenly chose to write with their left hand but because they weren’t forced to write with their right hand.
