Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Rules:

  1. Post examples of toxic heteronormativity only.

If counter examples to highlight flaws in blanket statements are an attack to a person's credibility then idk what to tell you.

I'm just saying that it isn't as single facet as the screen shot tries to make it. It is/was a product of a full cultural shift and it wasn't as arbitrary as that makes it out to be.

I don't think trying to provide a more nuanced explanation qualifies as a blanket statement...

My comment had an important follow up, posted only 7 minutes later, that makes your response to me quite silly.

But even if I ignore my follow-up comment, beacause you maybe didn't even notice its existence... If you don't know how to read a three-sentences message without ignoring the first two-and-a-half, I don't know what to tell you.

That wasn't very smart.
Pro-tip: if you don't reply to a person, a message won't go to their inbox.

Also your insult falls flat since you clearly don't know how to edit a comment.

I refuse to engage further with your shit-stirring.

I'm devastated, truly.
