Couldn't agree more. I am cis-het in a long relationship, childfree by choice.

But don't think conservative ideology/politics is about making their rules your rules. Or at least being bound by their rules. I mean: If Musk doesn't like what someone says, they get blocked from Twitter (or in case of German political parties, downranked, so that the far right is ranking higher/being recommended more often on X). But they (like Musk) claim "free speech" for themselves. Meaning, they want to say what they feel like without consequences.

I found this interesting "law" by Frank Wilhoit:

> Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.



Well in my country (Holland) I see a lot more hate. Even when I wear a rainbow wristband in June I get insulted by groups of extreme right guys. This didn't use to happen.

The thing is if you're not protected you don't really have free speech.
