I cringe when ever I hear someone use the term "lifestyle" in connection with LGBT/T people.
It has such ultra right wing Christo-fascist connotations. Like something an American Goebbels cooked up.
"Lifestyle" in one form of usage has the semiotic of a chosen pattern of consumption, or that is how it is marketed in everything from Vogue and Architectural Digest to Outdoor Life or Outside.

QuoteHowever, the Christo-Fascist right wing does not use lifestyle in the context of an actual life style but rather as a semiotic indicating a pervert who has chosen to be a pervert and who should be stoned to death rather than allowed to live as an equal to cis-gender/sex white heterosexual people.
Being the sort they are, they see their lifestyle as being the only acceptable one.
That's what makes them so dangerous and unacceptable.
If you look at TV and to a lesser extent movies, the lifestyles, while they may vary in their environment, are generally based upon a similar notion.
