Political wise I'm a Bernie/Biden supporter and I'm progressive on my ideals, but my God have the millennials made an abomination out of the pride movement which is to the point where I can no longer support it.

Besides the bullshit involving transgenders and their double standards, I can no longer take the movement seriously anymore do to all the terms and sexualities which makes it up. In my opinion the term "queer" and the others got added on because someone got done reading ASoIF and they wanted to have as many labels as the characters in that series and the newfangled sexualities I find to be just as asinine. For example I believe asexuals are people who have an aspect about them which results in them being unable to have relationships, so they label themselves as that term as a cover up and pansexuals are hipsters who don't want to be classified under the "mainstream" term of "bisexual".

I don't know about that; there is a lot of variation in human sexuality and it stands to reason that if someone could be repulsed by the idea of being sexual with one sex or the other (straights, lesbian and gay people), then why couldn't someone be repulsed by both? I have met someone IRL like this and the term "asexual" seems pretty apt. But, I do agree that many people who claim to be asexual or a part of the "asexual community" are not like this, and seem to want to adopt the term because they are avoiding being labeled straight (which is considered "boring" and negative by people who believe in Queer Theory).

I walked away from that party after 9/11 exposed them as the anti-American hypocrites they are. An anti-war movement is tone deaf in a war where the enemy hates all the same people Hitler hated.
