Okay, but you're being incredibly insensitive by referring to the LGBT crowd the way you just did. You're dehumanizing them, which is exactly the kind of behavior the people you're talking about are trying to stop.

Gender is a spectrum, it's a fact, not an ideology.

Besides that, I do think the culture wars have been pushed onto the working classes in order to divide us so that food insecurity, homelessness, and climate change are not prioritized and our pockets can continue to be picked for the distribution of wealth straight to the top. If we could all stop fighting each other over the minutiae or how people live their lives, we might be able to push politicians to fix higher-level, systemic issues.
