All I see is the thin facade being ripped away from a world where we thought we were making progress that clearly hadn’t actually happened. We thought things were on the up and up because our overlords allowed us to have some positive change for a while, as a treat.
Maybe now that we know it was all a joke at our expense we can fight to make some real progress for ourselves, instead of claiming that we already succeeded in winning safety for the marginalized because some companies changed their logos for 30 days every year.
There has definitely been progress made. The majority of people believe non straight/cis people should be free to live their lives as they wish. There’s just an incredibly vocal group currently, who are so vocal because they’re losing.
What the corporations are doing doesn’t really matter. They’re just trying to make a profit, and currently that means, often, bowing down to our weird narcissistic president.
You can’t not take reality. You either take reality as it is, or take it with a blindfold on, pretending it makes you safer. One gives you the opportunity to change reality as much as you can, which granted isn’t much for one person on their own, but the other only lets you stumble around in the dark, so I know which one I’ll take.

Often it’s two steps forward one step back

I’ll take the facade over the reality. I’m not gay but I’m not stupid enough to think that it’ll stop with lgbt peoples.
