I'm old enough to remember how the US news media used to ALWAYS go to an anti-gay hate group for a statement EVERY SINGLE TIME there was ANY news story featuring a member of the LGBT+ community, for some moronic copypasta statement about how awful we are, like they were obligated to get an "opposing view" about whether LGBT+ people were allowed to exist and to have experiences that other people could hear about.
And yet, when mouth-breathing morons like DeSantis and his constipated cohorts rant and rave about drag queens or trans people, have we EVER seen the inverse behavior? For example, a news outlet asking RuPaul Charles what he thinks of imbecile politicians attacking harmless drag performers? Or asking prominent members of the trans community what they think of DeSantis?
No?
Why is that?
Surely readers are entitled to an "opposing view."
