  • Right, I think this is the point that the above comment is making as well. That the numbers of publicly/out gay people went up because of a more accurate count thanks to a less hostile sociopolitical climate.

    I think the point that’s being confused in that comment is that the fear mongering was obviously bullshit, and modern bigots pointing at any increase in LGBTQ+ identification nowadays may continue to use those statistics as justification for anti-LGBTQ+ platforms. Instead of engaging that argument that the hate mongers have always known is in bad faith, it’s much more to the point nowadays to make them explain what they think is wrong with increased LQBTQ+ identification, or as the original comment put it, “Yeah, and?”








  • After 12 years of drinking daily, today was the first day where I woke up with the intention to never drink again. I made it to the end of day 1 of sobriety, and I’m proud, even though there is a very long road ahead.

    I woke up today not wanting to drink, and I didn’t. And I’m going to do the same thing tomorrow.

    Thanks for these posts, they kept the fact that I needed to quit in the back of my head when scrolling.
