    getting rooted doesn’t make you anti-gay, but it might make you more anti-riot, because you don’t want your kid or spouse getting brained by a stray brick on the way home from the grocery store

    Maybe, if that were the reason, but the reason they are conservative isn’t because they are anti-riot, it’s because they’ve been listening to the Conservative Propaganda Machine exclusively, and have been convinced by Traitors and Pervoids that gay people should be exterminated.

    Stop thinking anything these psychopaths are doing is in good faith. There is ALWAYS an ulterior motive, and it is always more evil than we could have imagined.

      I mean conservative in the broader sense of ‘less inclined to revolutionary action’, not conservative in the sense of ‘aligned with the braindead fascism of the modern right-wing’. I think it’s normal for a functioning society to see older and more rooted individuals as less inclined towards radicalism than they were when they were young and rootless. I think it’s deeply abnormal for any society which wishes to remain functioning to see the exact kind of right-wing loons we’re dealing with as a significant portion of any demographic.
