I wonder if American culture lost the whole “what you do is none of my business” attitude that was maybe at the core of the average person’s socially liberal beliefs 10 years ago

now everyone takes everyone else’s actions very personally

I think part of the socially conservative narrative is turning a mostly private thing (in this case being LGBT) into a public thing (often involving a negative impact on kids) to get people riled up about it

Trying to change people’s mind on the public thing seems to be a losing battle, I think you have to get people to forget about it (let conservatives “win”) and then push the private angle more

Social media and everyone recording everything has done more harm than help. 

Just my thoughts tho
