It was a love story and it was touching. I had to look away during the intimate scenes as watching two guys making out gives me the heebie jeebies.

As a good exercise for personal growth, you should ask yourself why seeing that gives you the heebie-jeebies.

Eh, I think it's pretty clear that some amount of homophobia is innate as much as homosexuality is. Some people just plain find it gross. As long as they respect everyone's right to have their own lifestyle, that's really what tolerance and getting along is all about. We can't except everyone to like everything, so we should be proud when they put up with harmless things they don't like.

I don't disagree and I'm not trying to shame or put anyone down, my point is just that it's productive and enlightening to learn these things about ourselves when we can. For me at least, it helps me improve in areas I find myself lacking, and meet other people where they are when they see things differently than I do.

Offerman is becoming more and more a chad in my eyes and that love story was really really good and its coming from someone who really hates comedy and romance genre but gotta say it was really good.

Read his books, but only if you're a lefty. I showed my boomer parents and they hated it.

I've listened to Paddle Your Own Canoe on audiobook (he narrates). Dunno about the rest, but I'd agree based on that one. He makes it clear pretty quickly that Ron Swanson was just a character and his views are different and more nuanced.
