IN THE NEWS---THIS PRIDE MONTH, IT'S THE REVOLT OF THE 'NORMIES" AS AMERICANS REJECT EXTREMISM--STEPHEN F. HAYWARD

EXCERPTED -- Americans have generally been tolerant, if sometimes slow to move, toward what were once considered “deviant” traits like homosexuality, but also interracial marriage and women in the workplace.

It is worth noting that by the time of the Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage, public opinion had come to support the idea, after having been strongly opposed just 20 years ago.

But the current push on behalf of gender fluidity differs fundamentally from previous “liberation” movements, as it requires a wholesale denial of human nature itself and demands conformity to this radical view.

Far from merely wanting to be tolerated or left alone, the new transgender movement insists on transgressing every institutional and social boundary, from bathrooms to sports to the elementary school classroom.

Americans have largely been tolerant of individuals previously described as “cross-dressers,” but what explains the adamant insistence on performing “drag queen” exhibitions for children? more at This Pride Month, it's the Revolt of the 'Normies' as Americans reject extremism (nypost.com)
