Yes indeed Ron, they should treat us with the same respect and patience as we are expected to treat them. Keep it to theirselves Ffs I find it abhorrent and I don’t like my grandchildren growing up thinking sex between same sexes is normal ITS NOT!
You can't claim to respect a group and then demand they conduct their lifestyles only in private / spaces away from where you happen to be. Same-sex sexual relations are part of nature, like it or lump it, they are an observable phenomenon, in birds, marine and land-based mammals, and yes, shockingly, humans too. Just because "we" have had a couple of thousand years of religious doctrine rammed down our throats that its not the done thing doesn't make it so, along with most other things written in fiction.
I see no reason why those who identify as LGBTQ+ wouldn't want to continue marching, protesting etc. After all, they don't receive equal treatment, either under UK law or in practice 'out in the real world'. As I'm sure Lizzie can attest; throughout history, those who have sat quietly by, waiting for rights to be given to them tend to be waiting a very very long time.
That said, the views on the matter expressed here are the classic anti-oppression catch-22: you don't protest, you're sitting idly by so must be happy with your lot/are too lazy to fight for what you believe; get out on the streets, your making a nuisance/spectacle of yourself.
Also, on the point of what "Normal" people think, statistical data for the last 30yrs shows clearly that we now live in a society where the majority of people in the UK now support gay marriage and see nothing at all wrong with same sex relationships (11% 1981, 68% 2017). The vast majority also do not identify as prejudiced against trans people. Probably unsurprisingly
;, belief that same sex relationships are wrong tends to be much higher in 'white british' church goers (thankfully a group that is in itself in decline), black and asian communities - again linked with religion.
So in summary, far from the "Normal" most on this thread claim to be, they're actually the 'noisy minority' they choose to belittle.
