> In other words he's just a normal person who holds views everyone in the world held until 5 minutes ago.

You're either being disingenuous or live in a very small information bubble, because the majority of the world never held those opinions in the entire history of the planet.



I disagree with his opinion too, but he's not lying. The majority of the world has and still does hold those opinions. The world is still very anti-LGBT outside of the western culture bubble. And even in countries that are westernized, they are often still anti-LGBT even if their governments and media are pushing people not to be.

It's a very sad state of affairs. I mean, just 16 years ago I was marching for the right for gay people to get married in the US. We've come a long way but there is a long way to go.


Do you seriously believe that? Your comment is incredible euro/western centric. Wildly so, too. Especially w.r.t LGBTQ rights. (Not saying I agree with notch, just completely disagree with your point about the majority).


The majority of the world held those opinions for the entire history of the planet. In fact, the majority of the world still does. On the topic of bubbles, maybe western liberalism isn't as ubiquitous as it feels from within.
