Trivializing

And in a country where gay and lesbian parents can still be denied the ability in some states to adopt the children they have raised since birth - and where those children can even be taken away from the only parents they've ever known - the idea of trivializing gay families, making them the butt of a series of crude jokes, and reinforcing pernicious stereotypes about gay men and children didn't feel funny. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Hym “Right. That ☝️ is just a byproduct of my attitude. That’s trivial. None of that matters. That’s the trivial part. The meaningful part is the life of [servitude].
