Connotation
an idea or feeling which a word invokes for a person in addition to its literal or primary meaning.
Pronoun
a word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g. I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g. she, it, this ).
Basically you're saying you "have a feeling" pronouns mean something that it doesn't actually mean, because the conservative right has politicised the word to make a scapegoat of the approx 1-2% of the population that would prefer to choose their own. Am I close?

In the eighties the flamboyant gay man was popular, nowadays the fashion is more bear-daddy.

Well, we know da Vinci and Mona Lisa met because he painted her and Keith Richards have always been around so it's not too far fetched that they met and Richards took a photo of them.

Yes, that's exactly it. You could save 30% but hiring women to do a man's job but you won't because you don't believe women are as good as men.

Interestingly, science fiction author H. Beam Piper explores this concept in his book Last Enemy, published in 1950. It's quite interesting and a very good read. Here's a free link ..

What you're describing is very much having a feeling. You may refer to your feeling as a fact but that doesn't change anything.
The word pronoun does not have an LGBTQI connotation, except for in your mind, it is simply the word for how language gender people. The reason you think so is because the conservative right has weaponized the word by twisting it's connotation to mean "something gay and probably a paedophile".
