OK, I'm gonna piggy back off of this and put a question out there for y'all.

My (cishet) parents have always been really libbed up. And their approach to anything about queerness when I was growing up was to... Literally never mention it, or acknowledge it as a possible way of being, because "We didn't want to force anything on you! We just let you be who you were gonna be :)"

And are still baffled that their hands-off, silent, approach led me to struggle with my queerness so heavily as a teenager.

To my fellow queer Hexbears, did anyone else's lib parents do this? Is this a lib thing? A generational thing? A cishet thing?

Remember when Mitt Romney hinting at defunding PBS and defending it with "But I love Big Bird!" Was a huge scandal?

Yeah, the whole country has become chan board levels of self-radicalizing over this. Copycats seem inevitable

Social panics don't need Covid to spur themselves on tbh. People are great at recognizing patterns where there are none.
