Just when you thought you’d had your fill of woke guides to Thanksgiving, along comes the ACLU with another one, in the form of their “personal favorite Thanksgiving conversation starters”:
Some of our personal favorite Thanksgiving conversation starters:
? "My pronouns are…"
? "Firing people for being LGBTQ is illegal and Trump asked SCOTUS to change that"
? "Who loved Pose season 2?"
? "Please pass the pie, and the Equality Act"

First of all:

You are dealing in some really cringy stereotypes and this is why I prefer to be called a homosexual and not "gay" https://t.co/kwRuij8lvv

Seriously. Talk about insulting.
And secondly, these “conversation starters” are just plain terrible. It’s like there’s a competition for who can come up with the worst possible Thanksgiving.
Well is is bad advice

These are conversation enders, not starters.

Maybe the ACLU should just have their own damn Thanksgiving and leave all the non-terrible people out of it.
How about…
"Hi Uncle ____!"
"How's the new job going?"
"Anyone up for a game of Scrabble?"
"Mom, this dish is great. Thank you so much for making it!"

Heaven forbid.

If you're wondering whether you're a toxic person that everyone secretly hates and you bookmarked this to actually use, you're probably a toxic person that everyone secretly hates. https://t.co/iFxL7vHlhx

I think my starter will be "remember when ACLU fought for civil rights?"

This is why the ACLU can’t have nice things. And:
This is why Trump wins. https://t.co/uhiRYOYlTQ
