For being a giant bigot against LGBTQ people. We usually get together and play d&d Tuesdays, but tonight he went off about the bud light thing and spiraled from there. Pulling the "they are teaching 3rd graders about BJs and anal sex" garbage. He would not stop. He has done this before especially when he had to take an HR test at his job about LGBTQ rights. Claiming it hurts his freedom being told he should use that persons preferred pronouns. After about 10 minutes of ranting I said you are a bigot and are bullying them stop it. He didm't so.i said gtfo go home.

It's sad to watch a friend of 27 years go down the right wing rabbit hole. He's getting it from someone who is feeding him right wing talking points. I feel bad throwing him out but I will not tolerate bigotry in my own house.

I'm sorry your friend turned out this way. That sucks. I've never even maintained a friendship that long. I can't imagine

I knew exactly what he was going to say. Same right wing bigotry on social media. He never used to like this.

He responded when he got home in the group text saying he's done and never coming over again. Says its a dick move to throw him out for his difference of opinion and that he was raised in a traditional family. I will wait a few days to respond otherwise I will say something very nasty.

I hope so but he's slowly been going down this road for a while now. He also flipped shit about Brittany Griner being freed.

Sadly that isn't true. This stuff is basically made to isolate these people and make them more and more reliant on the people who push it and only make them go further down the rabbit hole.

Good on you TC. I only have a few close circle of friends and try not to make politics be one of our main talking points.

They do try to bring up foxnews hate stuff sort of jokingly but also wouldnt be surprised if they believed in that stuff. Since im close to them, im not afraid to call them out on it in a jokingly sarcastic type of way.
Other people who aren't close friends i dont even bother calling them out on it because its hopeless and i dont have time or care to argue with people i dont talk to regularly.

So tired of the "that's my opinion" defense. When your "opinion" is sharing blatant lies or deciding who gets to have basic human rights, you are no longer allowed to have a discussion with adults.

Even if the story is fake it's an all to common situation these days...

Claiming it hurts his freedom being told he should use that persons preferred pronouns
Shit like this is so braindead. How hard is it to treat people with respect? It's free to refer to someone the way they want to be referred to

If TC is trolling, sorry for responding seriously

Given how he usually behaves on the PlayStation board, its best to take anything he says with a grain of salt, as hes been known to embellish his tales quite a bit just to get attention from other users.

So you knew this friend for 27 years and either never noticed the bigotry, or just now your friend became a bigot?
