I don't get why this video is in any way relevant to anything in geopolitics. Someone put an ideological flag in front a national flag among national flag like an asshole, someone else removed it. Woah, what an earth shattering event. Did this even happen in Cuba? It sounds like it's somewhere in the US or Canada. The whole premise is fucking stupid anyway, because Cuba has legalized same-sex marriage, and makes a very big push to normalize it via public education.

Beyond that, I don't get why people are so goddamn obsessed with LGBT stuff either way. I personally care about improving my quality of life; having good working conditions, a sense of safety, a nice place to live, the resources to start a family, affordable luxuries, etc. I can't even begin to relate to anyone who puts any amount of energy into worrying about the legality of crossdressing and anal sex.

this is bait, right?

I myself (the guy you are replying to) am gay, and I do care about LGBT issues, but I care about society-wide enjoyment of prosperity more.

My main metric for success is the quality of childhood. If every family has the resources to raise kids period, then things are okay. If their kids are safe, if they can go out into the neighborhood without much supervision, then things are good. If every family is capable of getting their kids toys, video games, books, etc, then things are great.

LGBT rights are something worth fighting for, but moreso in the context of larger social liberties, and are a lesser priority than baseline material quality of life.
