So I saw, I think on Mastodon, that someone had come out as lesbian to her mother and her mother got very upset. At one point in the lecture, she said that she had attraction to women too, sometimes, but she sure as hell didn't act on it because she wasn't some sort of wanton psychopath! And she wanted her daughter to do the same, as people are supposed to do.
And I am not exaggerating when I say that everything about why there is so much overlap between wanting to ban it, and being caught doing it in secret. And why the people who don't do the secret don't really give as much of a shit about the banning. It all just suddenly made perfect sense, in a way it never had before.
If I remember it correctly she (the mother) had crushes on women in college but married her husband because "that's what you're supposed to do".
