I know an ultra-conservative who suddenly cared about gay rights after his daughter came out. I’m sure the timing was entirely coincidental.
That's Leagues better than the alternate, at least they showed growth.
But theres a systemic selfishness about "I don't care unless it directly affects me or my loved ones".
True, but I’d also like to add that he only cared about gay rights for his daughter. The rest of them can get fucked, apparently.
How would gay rights for only a single person even work?
You must suspend logic in order to understand the conservative.
They are just selfish.
Things only matter if they affect them
Well, that's certainly better than remaining homophobic and disowning his daughter, which is the story we most often hear, sadly...
