Whats depressing about it?
A couple in a stale marriage drift apart emotionally. They separately seek something/ someone new to spark what their marriage has been lacking. Only, in the end, to find each other and rekindle the marriage.

I don't think it's depressing, but cringeworthy in proportion to how many times it was played. It's like that Breakfast at Tiffany's song and several of Barry Manilow's hits.

Or, a couple in a stale marriage drift apart. They separately seek something/someone new to spark what their marriage has been lacking only to, in the end, catch each other trying to cheat and realize that they're stuck in this thing because literally nobody else is interested.

I've often called escape one of the greatest love songs of all time, which pisses my wife off 
I would say it's about a couple in a seemingly stale marriage, who privately seek someone new, only to discover something new in each other. Like rupert says, "I never knew, you liked pina coladas and getting caught in the rain..." mystery abounds even if you think you know everything about your partner.
Wonderful song

Don't get your news from memes, folks.
Lesbian Says She Faces Jail for Trans Remarks But Her Critics Say Otherwise
Quote:
Gjevjon claimed she is under investigation for saying "men can't be lesbians," which is "unequivocally a lie," according to Aleksander Sørlie, the founder of the trans advocacy group, Norwegian Patient Organization for Gender Incongruence (PKI).
"There is no one who is educated on this law, even slightly, who would make that claim," Sørlie said, adding: "We don't think that statement should be illegal, we are also pro-free speech. She needs to be honest about why she is being investigated...she cannot lie and make up a story that is actually about harassment and not about some relatively minor comment about biology."
The law he is referring to is Section 185 of the Penal Code, which outlaws hateful speech made with "intent or gross negligence" against people based on race, skin color, religion, life circumstance, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation or reduced functional capacity.
In the Facebook post, Gjevjon targeted Norwegian activist Christine Jentoft, a trans woman who is a lesbian and a mother to an 11-year-old daughter.
[...]
But Jentoft, a prominent Norweigan transgender advocate, didn't want the police involved because she "had no intention of doing anything about" Gjevjon's post.
"I found it ridiculous that she was literally quoting an already existing verdict from the Supreme Court, in an attempt to get herself investigated and convicted by the police. So, the police had to open an investigation against her without telling me," Jentoft told Newsweek, saying she has been the target of a harassment campaign by Gjevjon for years.
"She's totally free to voice those opinions, the problem is when she keeps voicing discriminatory opinions repeatedly towards the same person for years and years," Jentoft said.

Yeah; I'd definitely recommend reading that full article first before passing judgement. Thanks for sharing.

I think it’s fair to say that anyone claiming that someone is being prosecuted for something like this is making it up

Believe it or not, but I did actually do some searching before posting that screenshot about men unable to be lesbians, and the story can be found all across the internet in that form.

I'm confused - if that's true, why did you choose to post the misleading headline, especially sandwiched between the other two images. It's comes across as you trying to paint a untrue picture of LGBTQ culture, rather than portray a truthful image.

I think you misunderstood me. I was unaware that the headline was misleading. Since these Woke folk are actually actively persecuting and cancelling others for speaking out, and even for choosing their own words, in the case of pronouns.
