Unfortunately in a lot of places anti-lgbtq isn't necessarily a class war, that is it's more of a culture war.
Usually a culture war started to distract from the class war
I wouldn't say that, usually they start organically from what I've seen. It's more so that they are blown up into much bigger issues than they actually are by those seeking power whether that be to attack a group or to galvanize their base. Starting a culture war out of thin air is nearly impossible. Like imagine getting people to fight over which end to crack an egg.
You can easily tell people that being trans is a sin or some shit and watch the religious poor people fight the trans people instead of the rich
Yeah but it's not like that tension came from nowhere whatsoever. There was already some tension there even without any media. Now it becoming a national or global conversation for years upon years is very arguably overblown as compared to home much natural tension was there and how important the issue actually is in the scheme of things.
