A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Ah yes, sexual orientation isn't political, that's why every LGBT+ person has never had any issues with adoption, finding bathrooms that align with how they present (without committing a crime), have never been sent to a legal reeducation camp, and aren't considered to be illegal in existence (man what was the Russian Government, a political entity's take on LGBT+ folks and their relationships, I can't remember).
What...
Maybe unfortunately, but the sexual orientation of folks (homosexuality) is definitely used as a tool by politicians to push certain agendas. Politicians will pander to these groups like they do to many other groups.
OOP said, "My existence is political." And wasn't wrong.
