I don't think it is. I think it's just the way all that LGBQI stuff is getting shoved down our throats this last few years, like the woke brigade are trying to make us believe it's all perfectly normal, when we all (or most of us) don't.
The younger generations are being brainwashed into seeing things from a woke position, and not learning in a healthy, normal way.
I don't think the wokes are doing the LBGTQI people any favours.
Same goes for the race side of it all, they're creating hatred and fear that didn't exist before in most people. Idris Elba gave a good take on it the other day.

Re: Woke to you as well
The under seven kids football played prior to main match at all small towns is good fun.
The kids love it as do the parents.
Now they have been told the league responsible for running them has said that there will be a 'Gay Pride' round and all the young kids will have to wear gay pride uniforms.
We had them at sea on just about every ship.
But at no time did they ever ask for special treatment, special uniforms or anything else.
It almost looks as if the LGBQTI lot are on some sort of recruitment drive.


Happy daze John in Oz.

We had the Bended Knee mob for a while until they started to get rumatism in the knee.

Yes Des, but no to be confused with the bend over lot such as on UCL.
The most annoying point of this is that all these minority groups have more say with the gov than the rest of us.

Radical groups will have more influence in government than the silent majority.

Re: Woke to you as well
Another little thing I've noticed lately. When I see an advert on the telly showing gay people kissing, maybe in an ad for a particular car, or some other product, I tend to automatically think "aint buying one of them".
I have a gay nephew, and know a few others, as well as at least one trans person. I've never felt any aversion to any of them, probably because they just be what they are, and don't try to make anything of it.
That's why I feel all this woke thing being shoved up our noses is doing them no good.
