I share the extreme annoyance that the LBGTQXYZASS culture is being forced down our throats on virtually every type of media.
HOWEVER - I first observed this in British TV, such as the Dr Who spinoff, Torchwood, where the made the primary character uber-gay. Prior to that, and since then, I find that (apparently) most British couples are mixed race. The US is doing this "Me Too" movement of the second kind. Stupid shows, the ubiquitous talent contests, all have to have a somewhat flaming judge or two or three. Anyone recall, as well, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" - as though gaudy dress-up (read that "metrosexual") is an example of good taste . . . depends upon who you're trying to attract, doesn't it? The repeated attempts at getting men to use makeup (not just money) - and shaved chests. Here's one - a real favorite of mine: runway models were flat-chested and emaciated - I guess the big name designers waned them to look a lot like like young boys . . .
Now - I don't really care who hugs who - everyone needs affection. Furthermore, if I had my druthers, if legal, I'd have a number of mates, of assorted races, as keepers - not just one-nighters. But none of this - absolutely none of this - needs to be shoved down our throats (pun intended) until, like the OP, one starts to resent it.

I pretty much only watch TV shows and movies on trains, and getting the "He's watching gay pron!" look is not something I appreciate.
AFAIC, it's nothing to do with "enlightenment"; it's about getting one of the largest TV-watching demographics to be glued to the screen -- teenage boys.
Best not to go into what the glue is.

According to them, then you're a closeted gay.

I don't really worry if they say such things about me, because, according to them, Everyone's a closet gay.

Wooden IoT prayer beads ... that can pay for food (maybe later) and you can listen to (perhaps while charging).

I don't know which is worst: the ridiculous (and highly inappropriate to Buddhism) product, or the ridiculous (and highly inappropriate to anything at all, in the entire world) text describing it.

The first six sentences have an average of one "Acer" in it.
One sentence doesn't have the word "Acer", but the next sentence has "Acer" twice.
I doubt whether those are enough "Acer"'s to properly sell Acer.
I mean, those Acer beads are Acer beads and let no one think otherwise.
They're also Acer leap beads and not other kinds of Acer beads.
Acer beads.
Acer.
Beads.

I'm just glad they aren't a different sort of beads that starts with an "A". IoT them, anybody? Please, all say "NO!"

Here's an idea:
If you want to "improve yourself" or "improve your life"*, Do Some Work!
Something for nothing is something that's not good for you.
* Both of which are arguably impossible.

One thing that would definitely bring some fairness (at least in the US) is to tax capital gains income (like those made in the stock market) as heavily, or even more heavily, than earned income - where someone had to sweat and get blisters and other stuff. In particular, I'd add the FICA (Social Security Tax) to their income - no more free ride on the big bucks - and probably remove the cap on FICA-taxed income, or at least move it up to where it guarantees solvency of the Social Security system.
It's time the real workers stop getting exploited while the gamblers hug their mattress' full of money.
