They are angry, already. They're being selective in the target of their anger. Sometimes it's Dems. Sometimes it's liberals. Sometimes it's gays. Sometimes it's blacks, sometimes illegal immigrants, sometimes it's Russians. This week it's "LGBTQIA people who drink Bud Lite". It's like they run out of things to be angry about and have to pick something new every week in order to justify their perpetual anger.

Always will be some segment angry about something or whining and angry about some terrible injustice

No one is refusing to make a cake for you because of your sameness. No one is refusing to hire you, refusing to promote you, refusing to teach you, refusing to leave you in peace, as a direct result of your sameness.

People who are different, are vilified, trashed, bullied, belittled, assaulted, rejected, and killed - just because they're different. So one month a year they get together and say "y'know what - we are worthy of celebrating our existence."

And so they do.

Fox News seems to get a lot of advertising revenue from ads in-between the "Hate of the Week".

Good thing you're never angry...

The primary hate I see is coming from demented transgender activists. They sure throw a lot of tantrums and hissy fits in public! See post #130.

FOX may benefit as the MSM bury stories and videos of transgender malfeasance. One of the few places to see what is really happening is on FOX News.

Fox News - reality...funny. Like the election lies that cost Fox $787 million? Or was it when a Fox news host claimed the Russian threat to invade Ukraine was a hoax by the Biden administration? Another Fox news anchor falsely claimed Disney wants 50% of all characters to be gay...Oh wait, maybe it was when Sean Hannity said the White house wants to ban all gas ovens and burners.

?? I mean, who in their right mind would believe all that crackpot nonsense?

You mean this "crackpot nonsense"?

"Karey Burke, president of Disney's General Entertainment Content, announced on a company-wide Zoom call Monday that as “the mother of two queer children”—one transgender and one pansexual, she elaborated—she intends to drastically ramp up queer visibility within the Magic Kingdom, increasing characters in Disney ...Mar 30, 2022"

And I remember a former POTUS scoffing at Russia being the premier global threat, saying, "The 80's called, and they want their foreign policy back..."

Celebrate diversity!

We are all god's children and deserve respect from our fellow human beings.

We are all different. Yet, we all breath the same air, drink the same water and eat the same food.

There is way too much hate in this world! Let's make it a far better place by recognizing we are all different while knowing we are all in this together doing our level best to get through it in the best way we each find possible.

Sadly, you are both preaching to the choir, and shouting a brick wall. On this forum, there is no nuance. You either hate and fear anything that's different and will declare that it is evil, against god's will, against humanity, against your personal sensibilities, so sayeth Newsmax..

Or you will already agree that people need to chill out and stop being afraid of and hate other people just because they look different, dress different, and prefer you call him a "he" even if he has a uterus.

This is not about persecuting mistreating or abusing any one or group, no one here has suggested anything of the sort. You deal with the world as it is, facts have to be addressed, if you can not accept facts because they are unpalatable/ uncomfortable you will just make more problems, compassion for people with issues certainly , but pretending to deal with issues by accepting a non reality is unhealthy for individuals as well as the larger society, note how one side of this discussion is being characterized
