It’s a three-step process.
Tolerance>acceptance >celebration
Tolerance - knowing it happens, and not objecting
Acceptance - convincing yourself it’s in the range of normal behavior
Celebration - pride parades
Remember how the hue and cry went through that transition?
Homos became gay. Then gays and lesbians. Then it was LGBT. Next was incorporating the previously forbidden word -queer. Now, it’s a word of pride.
Now they own half the damn alphabet. LGBTQ-XYZ+
Classic incrementalism.
