in a crazy twist, both parents and conservative media exist. and what world do you live in? i see conservative media call for homophobia and homophobic violence all the fucking time.

And those parents would still exist regardless.

More to the point, these bigots exist right now.

You want queer people and people of color to make up with people who would literally kill them because they're both not rich. Do you think that's what those bigots want? Do you think if a queer couple went over to some violent queerphobe's home in a trailer park with a bouquet of flowers it would go well for them?

Do you know how many queer people are murdered in the U.S. every year? Here's a link to the 2024 list.

It's not the billionaires doing the murdering.

I offered a systemic solution to one element of a systemic problem and now you are getting angry at me that my single-faceted solution doesn’t cover every minute facet of social change. I am sorry that you cannot accept a single marginal suggestion without going into full on rage mode. Ending the conversation here.
