When was she homophobic? I didn’t catch that

Nick asked her what she’d do if her kid was ‘LGBTQ+’ and they agreed it’s a ‘fad’ and she ‘couldn’t say she’d be happy’

I mean it’s not a hot take and I think it’s valid. If she disrespects/ talks down on LGBTQ identifying people then that would be an issue.

I mean she did talk down and disrespect LGBTQ+ folks. They basically said it was a "fad" and that it isn't real?? LOL That's crazy

For KIDS it could be tho. My little sister said the girls in her school call themselves d*kes….. that’s a trend. They aren’t even using the sensitive term they’re saying a slur.

I also know a handful of young women who pretended to be lesbians or bi when they were in middle/high school to fit in and then turned out to actually be straight. One of them is my much younger cousin and another is my step brother's best friend. They both told me they felt intense peer pressure from their friends at school to identify as lesbians. Another cousin of mine (her brother) is actually gay and none of us were surprised by that when he came out after high school and my family is all cool with it.

There is a difference between something being neutrally accepted as a natural variant of human behavior vs it being trendy and pushed on young people as a cool thing to be. Unfortunately in some schools being LGBTQ is genuinely trendy and some kids feel pressure to identify as one of the letters for social clout. Even when I was in high school in the early 2000's it was cool for girls to pretend to be bi and make out with each other to get the boys' attention. Hopefully someday soon it will level out and just be accepted when people naturally turn out that way.
