> LGBTQ was edgy
Aside from monogamous gay people, queerness is very much still edgy and not particularly accepted by the dominant/mainstream culture.
(This is not a positive thing, but it is reality.)
- subsistence234 4y ago>queerness is very much still edgy Something that people advertise about themselves on their linkedin profiles in order to get better job offers is the opposite of edgy.

- mshake2 4y ago>queerness is very much still edgy and not particularly accepted by the dominant/mainstream culture Being supported by advertising, movies, tv shows, signaled by major corporations and workplaces, and supported top-down by the government means its edgy and counterculture? We live in completely different realities I guess.
- czx4f4bd 4y ago> Aside from monogamous gay people Where are all these ads, movies, and TV shows depicting non-monogamous queer relationships? How is the government providing this "top-down" support? Are there now tax breaks for people in poly relationships?

- flangola7 4y agoI don't see significant featuring of non monogamy there

- bglazer 4y agoBeing LGBTQ is one of the few identities or choices that will result in being disowned by a significant portion of American families. That attitude is edging out of the mainstream but it’s practically dogma among evangelicals and other socially conservative groups. So yes, those people do live in a different reality, where Biden admin policy and “Will and Grace” don’t matter at all.
- mshake2 4y agoYou're making an emotional argument (LGBTQ people get disowned by families) against a logical argument (LGBTQ is supported at so many levels of culture that it no longer counts as "counterculture").
- kelseyfrog 4y agoWe only need to make a compelling virtuous argument and we'll have the Greek trifecta! Pathos, Logos, and Ethos
- bglazer 4y agoNo I’m not. The culture of many, many Americans is so anti-LGBTQ that they’ll disown their family. Thats their culture! There is not one American culture, social conservatism is a very common culture in America, and being LGBTQ is counter to that culture. Ergo LGBTQ culture is counterculture.
- mshake2 4y agoThat's not what counterculture is. Counterculture is counter the mainstream culture. Which is more mainstream in the US, (ie, in media, art, products, government, businesses, etc): suppressing LGBTQ people or giving LGBTQ people a platform? It's pretty obvious if you're being honest. You appear to be suggesting that it counts for nothing because some LGBTQ people get disowned by some conservative or religious people.

- coding123 4y agoWe want non-monogamous in society? Isn't that just chaos at best?
- banannaise 4y agoWhat? I'm not talking about bigamy, I'm talking about relationship structures that aren't just two married people creating a nuclear family.
