It has always amused me that they insist we have magical powers of “indoctrination,” when implicit in that notion is the fact they have absolutely none. If they did, we’d all be straight like they raised us to be!
Many of us had zero influences other than all-pervasive heteronormativity. We just knew who we were. Or at least, that we were wired differently.
They have nothing to sell without the fear of an “other” unraveling the fabric of “decent” society. And the moment they admit we actually exist, and once the flock can see we don’t bring about Armageddon (gay marriage…) more might start questioning ALL the assumptions. A girl can hope.
I mean it when I say I just want to be left alone. And peeing in peace at the market is lovely, too.
