Yes. It is happening in classrooms, school board meetings (a lawyer accused a school board member of being an anti trans bigot for opposing cross dressing story hour), churches are actively promoting it, even the pope is “blessing” same sex couples.

The pope hasn't condoned same sex marriage. I was raised Catholic and I grew up with this bullshit about the media reporting the pope said this or that, when he didn't. The Church is an institution that is over 1000 years ago, and it doesn't change on a dime because of the latest fad in society.

You said you owe an apology to everyone who said gay marriage was going to accelerate the moral depravity.

Yep, I do. There's no end to it. We can never get to a "good place", they have to go further, and further and further all the time, so I say just stop. It's no different with the other side, if they banned gay marriage, they would keep pushing until homosexuality resulted in the death penalty. I'm tired of being stuck between two nutcases pulling a rope I'm tangled up in.

There is a kid at a local elementary school who “identifies” as a T-Rex. Half of the moms my age in my area have a kid who identifies as he opposite sex or “other.”

Where do you live? Do ANYBODY else here have this experience?

My workplace actively promotes this as well through DEI initiatives.

Then you work for a company that is living dinosaur.

I've worked for both. In a startup, we don't give a FUCK about what you are doing in your private life, and at work, you WORK. At home, you work. There's extreme levels of performance expected and required. There's no time at all for this intersectional bullshit.

Only the ignorant would assert that wokism is not changing our future just like gay marriage did around a decade ago. It is the normal progression when people lose their moral compass and don’t turn to God for their truth.

Oh please, I've seen this over and over again within my own lifetime and culture. This is a flash in the pan hullabaloo about nothing. Companies that bend the knee will just die. Google was THE undisputed king of information retrieval, it's now literally the last place I go for anything. Microsoft is going to falter, YouTube is no better than television - mindless garbage on it, Facebook is for grandparents to connect with their grandchildren.

In a free market system, it fixes itself, but people don't see our government is actively trying to kill the free market. This is why Amazon does so well, they have an entirely different tax system, and the government shovels money at them.

More willingly ignorant wishful thinking. The trend toward larger central government, centralized infrastructure (either Apple or android/google knows more about the cell phone user than the user does!) onStar knows more about their car than most people do

You don't understand, people will abandon it. You're not dependent on your phone or your government, you just think you are, you're used to it. When there's enough push and shove, people just leave.

For example, people for YEARS have been asking Pedowood to stop pushing an agenda, and Pedowood has responded by continuing to do this. Well, lo and behold, people don't have to pay for movie tickets after all, or buy streaming services, or have a television.

More delusional ranting.

Here is just one fact that shows how out of touch the previous poster is.

“ Streaming services are more popular than ever

Over the past several years, streaming services have seen a surge in popularity — 78% of U.S. households have at least a Netflix, Amazon Prime, and/or Hulu subscription, compared with 69% in 2018, and 52% in 2015, according to research by media consultancy firm Leichtman Research Group, Inc.

In 2020, subscribership for streaming companies soared. Netflix added 37 million subscribers to the platform, and Hulu reached 38.8 million subscribers. However, Disney+ had the real Cinderella story of 2020, growing to more than 73 million subscribers by the end of the fourth quarter.”

Streaming and cable and OTA viewers are not growing Audiences as fast as they used to, but screen time is not decreasing for the majority of people.

We love the free streaming services like Pluto TV, Tubi, FreeVee, and Roku. We do not pay for any subscription service.

We also get about 20 high definition or digital channels over the air such as CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS, MeTV, Grit TV, Great Entertainment TV (GET), Outside Channel and Scripps News Channel. The local PBS station (WFSU) broadcasts multiple channels.

I agree as people are watching TV like my wife will read her email while watching the news on Live Now from Fox. Those streaming services like Live Now from Fox and Pluto TV can be watched on a computer or tablet.

I put a large antenna in my attic and I get about 60 over the air digital channels, as my house is midway between Norfolk and Richmond and picks up from both cities. I do not even bother with streaming. I have just internet from Cox, and the price just dropped to $59/mo because a competing provider just put fiber in my neighborhood. Cox still charges $89 for just internet in places where they have no competition.
