I’m not the one pretending here. No progress has been made during this administration.

My brother in christ it takes literally one Google search to see how utter bullshit this take is.

One that struck me is how Biden handled monkeypox. Under Trump, monkeypox would have been a “gay disease” that would have not been taken seriously at all. The Biden administration took it seriously and now I’ve completely forgotten it was a thing.

Go take your lunch break Dimitri.

Christ is a myth, and if you think a single example in 4 years is anything impressive, it just proves how thirsty you are.

I posted an entire fucking list. The letters in blue will send you to another website with that list if you click it. It’s amazing what they’ve done for internet formatting these days.

thirsty is the right word; biden has spent all except the last 2.5 years as an influential anti-gay politician and hearing him called the most pro-gay president ever is heart breaking as someone who has had to live with his anti-gay policies and votes.

Aww man, wish I caught that. Why didn’t the Biden administration help the LGBT community 40 years ago!? He really wasn’t a great president in 1984. /S

Look, his recent record shows the kind of administration he’s running, and what we could expect in the next 4 years. You may remember he (and Obama) said he believed marriage was between a man and a woman during the 2008 debates. Then, you may remember under the same administration, Gay marriage was federally legalized. It’s not like he’s going to go back to his pre-2008 stance in November.

It’s a good thing he’s not going to be running for president 40 years ago, isn’t it? Unless you’re willing to make a blanket generalization that no one can change, maybe back way from the microphone.

The problem with getting all your news from social media is that when you surround yourself with people who only share the one kind of news, you don’t get all of the other news that is very important.

As other people are saying to you, all you have to do is look for it and you will find a list of the pro-lgbt actions this administration has done.

likewise, all you have to do is look for it and you’ll find a much longer list of biden’s anti-lgbt actions.

Weren’t you just criticizing someone for invalidating your experiences? That’s exactly what you’re doing right now to the person above.

If they say shit is much better for them and their loved ones right now, don’t say they’re just pretending that’s the case. If you want to be respected for saying things are personally no better for you, don’t tell someone else they’re just pretending if they say things are better for them now.

Otherwise you just come off as an incredibly disingenuous asshole.

You should take your own advice instead of screeching at everyone. I must admit though, you’re quite right, my head does hurt from reading your awful mental gymnastics.

Don’t you think your constant rage at everyone is a sign here that you’re doing something hypocritical and wrong?

I’m guessing probably not, but people have come to epiphanies of self growth from even less likely situations.
