Right. So what happened to that?

And your definition of "woke" is far off the mark. It's not about equality of outcomes, it's about equality of opportunity. It's about not being punished or excluded simply for having darker skin, or for daring to love someone of the same gender, or from expressing your own personal identity.

Which is exactly where your rant about Islam comes in. They're afraid of change. Afraid of growth. So afraid, in fact, that some are willing to kill you for your beliefs. To punish you for them.

Islam isn't immune. They're just scared.

If the couple living next door love each other, and if they're good neighbors, then does it matter if they're married as man and wife, or married as a same-sex couple?

Does it matter what goes on in their bedroom? Why should it be a concern to you? If they asked you about your sexual preferences, you'd probably tell them that it's none of their damn business.

So again, why is theirs yours?
