Apologies, I would have the Idea it’s not being straight since gender and sex don’t match (most the time, there are operations and what not) so i’d thought that’d fall under the LGBTQ category, so please don’t take offense
My issue wasn’t so much the implication of it being “not straight” but of the LGBTQ label as opposed to LGBT. and no worries, no offense taken at all :) sorry if my comment came across as harsh. Whether transsexuals count as our own sexuality/orientation or as “straight” I suppose is just a linguistic debate lol.
You’re 100% right with that 3rd paragraph, conservatives do tend to push stupid laws and shit, especially those that target LGBTQ, but also shit like Hunter Biden and Hillary a while ago. While I agree those are issues, they’re in attempt to cover up other issues bigger issues to get away with it (Ex. Trump)
Agreed. I can’t say I’m fond at all of the republican party, even though I have conservative views.
just another thing I find interesting, you said you were pro-life, do you think that should mean throughout their whole life? How do you feel conservatives are handling pro-life beliefs? Because a lot of the GOP are preventing or taking way things like free school lunches, healthcare, or safe living environment for the child.
So this is an instance I was referring to about how I feel the GOP isn’t exactly pushing conservative values. I’m pro-life in every sense of the word. I support providing healthcare and that sort of thing. The “Jesus” approach so to speak. Help the needy, heal the sick, feed the hungry. It also means that I’m anti-war, against the death penalty, etc. I also support veganism. Not exactly a typical R/GOP type lol, but my family are closer to the “old left/liberal” type and I still have a lot of my way of thinking in that regard. I saw a comic once that suggested the “old left” ends up looking a lot like conservatives nowadays lol. I think it’s fitting.
I am personally pro choice, because there is scientific evidence babies don’t even have a conscious till a certain amount of weeks, and it’s as if a pregnancy never was going to happen in the first place.
I won’t start a debate here, but I will say I do understand the pro-choice viewpoint (as I was previously pro-choice). I think a lot of the concerns come down to niche cases (which I’m okay granting) and the issue of financial stability and support, which I feel are resolved through left-wing economics.
So I end up with some weird/uncommon views like the idea that we should pay women to leave the workforce and be mothers, and should give financial aid to families. Democrats dislike it because it pushes old gender roles, Republicans dislike it because it’s a form of welfare or wealth redistribution.
Out of curiosity is your view that women should be paid to leave the workforce and be raise kids, or that a parent should be paid to leave the workforce to raise kids?
Because if the view is just that there should be a UBI for a stay at home parent then I don’t disagree.
