Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

If asked to speculate on the cause of the rise of anti-gay prejudice, we would point to two related factors. The first is social instability. Starting around 2020, the United States experienced a sustained disruption consisting of the Covid pandemic, economic strain and intensifying political conflict โ€” each of which has been linked to heightened intergroup hostility and scapegoating. This would explain the overall rise in bias against marginalized groups.

The second factor, which would explain the rise specifically in anti-gay bias, is anti-establishment sentiment. The sustained social disruption since 2020 has fueled resentment and a loss of confidence in institutions perceived to have failed โ€” governments, corporations, the broader establishment. By 2020, support for gay and lesbian equality had become an establishment position. Corporate America, for example, demonstrated a concrete commitment to gay rights, with companies donating hundreds of thousands of dollars for Pride celebrations and other efforts at gay and lesbian inclusion.

Interesting hypothesis from two researchers suggesting the rise in homophobia in recent years is not the fault of trans people's visibility but (more convincingly I believe) part of the rise of anti-establishment politics generally and an association of "gay pride" with elites and corporations

i know this is hyperbolic but this is one of the sickest shots i've ever seen in a film.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.

It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.

Most notable exception: the Latin American left.

That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

There is no batshit far-right idea that the NYT's "reasonable" conservatives will not launder into polite discourse.

This would be great--and I don't mean "Here's why that thing you like is actually terrible and bad for The Cause," which is what it too often slips into. You can offer a progressive take on culture without being the giant scold who ruins every Thanksgiving!
