You were making good points right up until you said "discrimination should be allowed".I’m one of the last people to say that right wingers should moderate themselves for political expediency, they right has been doing that for far too long and it’s been the death of us in many ways. But honestly, what purpose is served by being anti-gay? What is the end goal if the right goes with that agenda? Outlaw gay marriage? Legalize discrimination against gays? Pass a bunch of sodomy laws so people can be arrested for being gay, or more precisely for having gay sex? Honestly, is getting any of those policies passed going to help to save Western civilization or save conservative politics?
I honestly don’t think so.
It‘s not as though a straight couple who are about to get a divorce are going to stop and say “Wait, gay marriage is illegal, we better try to save this marriage.” Or maybe that straight wife will sit down one night and say “Hey, gay men get arrested for buttsex, maybe I should quit my job and stay home with the kids.”
No, none of that will happen. Even more foolish to think that by being a anti-gay that non-whites will suddenly give up their racial agenda and then we can just let the black and brown hordes flood our country and they be 100% American flag waving, apple pie eating, fag bashing patriots.
The trans issue is a bit more significant, since the left is essentially forcing us to say that the emperor has beauty clothes. As Sam Dickson as said, the truth will set you free but lies will make you a slave. But even in that case, it’s probably more a matter of principle than pragmatic importance. Whether or not women’s weightlifting events get overtaken by trannies doesn’t really matter to our continued civilization.
So I would say the principle here that social conservatives should stand on is that discrimination should be allowed. Anybody should be able to associate with, do business with, or NOT, anybody that they desire as a right individual freedom. That is a right that matters and would extend to bakeries that don’t want to cater gay wedding as well as sporting institutions that don’t want trans athletes.
Opposing gays isn’t a winning issue for us, even if we won it wouldn’t matter.
No, discrimination should not be allowed at fucking all.
