| Miss Netherlands, a trans woman |
How long did it take Dick Cheney, vice president under George W Bush and a real “conservative” Republican, to change his thinking about gay rights when his own daughter came out? What do you think? A minute? 20 seconds? Somewhere between 4% and 10% of us are not straight. That is, 20 million of us are not straight. Which means that most extended families have a gay member or two. And when that person came out, the family got behind him or her. Without blinking an eye. The moron that didn’t was immediately ostracized from the rest of the family. This huge number of families with gay members explains why gay rights is no longer an issue among presidents, senators, House members, and most SCOTUS justices.
