Spoiler: Unpopular opinion, I’m not torn up about the finale

Don’t be ignorant. I am not liberal and neither is my bubble. I am a pre DADT military veteran from a very red southern area. I have been bullied, assaulted, heckled, and sexually harassed, and I have nearly lost my job (in an industry for which I have no protections and is male dominated) several times. I have received treatment for depression and anxiety in and off for over twenty years. Even with all of that in my life, I have still gotten worse treatment from the LGBT community, and the hate I have received from them, and the horrible things they have said have been more scathing, more damaging to me, than anything else. The community I sought acceptance from on multiple occasions, that I was consistently berated by all of my life instead of being brought in an accepted by, is the one who I got the most pain from. I was never liberal enough, I was never gay enough (somehow?) and I don’t share all of their views and triggers, so I MUST be the enemy, and that’s how they treated me. So before you make an assumption about me or anyone else living in a liberal bubble, you might want to get some context. You can fuck right off.
