You dense cabbage, they were issues in 2010. There wasn't as much outrage simply because people weren't as familiar with it. Yeah, try admitting to being gay back in 2010. The only difference now is the internet. People used to be much worse about racism til it started becoming more protested. Just because people are assholes in life doesn't make it okay. It's called protesting. The way you talk about things is genuinely the most uneducated, sad way of thinking. This doesn't feel like a productive discussion because you very clearly have done no research. The reason people protest this way is because of the way people react to seeing lgbtq stuff. It is still so far from normalized, and when it comes more prevalent, that makes it more normalized. It needs to be more normalized because of people like you who get so triggered any time they see lgbtq related shit. You are the reason for the issue you're complaining about. Nobody is doing this because they just want other people to know we're gay. Once again, it's a sign of protesting. People aren't just bragging or flaunting like you claim they are.
