Why the LGBT+ Community Has Been Taken Out of Control

[That2kKid21]

Let me start this by saying I'm not particularly against anything within the LGBT+ community. I just simply don't agree with the way the campaign is going.

1. Stop ramming it down our throats every 2 seconds...

Seriously, like... We don't care. It's not my place to congratulate you or judge you. So why keep telling me? I see all these commercials on how we can "support" the LGBT+ community. As if they need supporting. They aren't homeless, they don't need my money.

2. Why act like a boy/girl if you aren't one biologically?

And why do you NEED me to believe that you are the gender you say you are? A boy isn't a girl just because he says he is. He's still a boy. You don't just become another gender because you say you are. It's science. If you wanna go ahead and think you're a girl, go ahead, but don't expect me to think the same.

3. Sensitivity, sensitivity, sensitivity...

Seriously, that's all I see and hear. When did freedom of speech become only usable when CERTAIN people want to use it? Just like the black community, it's the exact same in the LGBT+. If you're allowed to state your opinion in that you support LGBT+, why am I not allowed to state mine?

4. The bathroom situation...

Why don't we just have another bathroom made? I know, it's ridiculous, but that's what it's come to. So why not just do it. It's pretty damn awkward with a "boy" in the boys bathroom, who isn't actually PHYSICALLY a boy.

Seriously people, it's getting ridiculous.

Yes, I feel your pain. First of all, I'm totally okay with gays, pans etc but they are taking it too far. Since it's June, aka pride month. All of the tweets, I mean all. of. the. damn. tweets. are about the LGBT+ community. Also, everyone's username, profile picture or bio looks a little bit something like this: *gayflag gayflag gayflag* I'm_Gay
Seriously, it's okay to be in the LGBT+, but please stop spamming. A tweet or post every so now and then is completely okay, but not when your whole timeline is full of it and there's no more originality.
Again, I'm okay with it if you're in the community. I respect who you are, but you don't have to punch everyone in the face with a boxing glove called sexuality.
Again 2.0 it's okay to be in the LGBT+ please don't hate me for my opinion.

[Galactic_Star]

Thank you for selecting me as one of the most helpful opinions

[That2kKid21]

I agree with you 100%. For instance, I'm not against gays at all, I just simply don't give a damn who's gay lol.

[CrazyyChick]

I was fine with this LGBT+ community since it started getting so possesive and preasuring.
They have this stupid idea that "everyone underneath is secretly gay".
And it's fine for them to say that they find disgusting straight couples being together,, but for us it's terrible to say we fine gay couples gross.

Thanks for sharing your Take with GirlsAskGuys Community. India Support LGBTQAI+ Community. Check out my Take.

Discrimination against an individual on the basis of sexual orientation is deeply offensive to the dignity and self-worth of the individual.

Supreme Court of India had declared freedom of sexual orientation a fundamental right. No one should be discriminated.

I don't give a damn... Freedom of speech

Can’t stand that community

Thanks

Be who you are and I believe you have the right to be who you are without discrimination and youI should be respected for who you areare but don't use it for attention, you're not special and don't shove it in everyone's faces. If you walk with a banner around your neck reading I am trans, that is how your gonna be treated.

[That2kKid21]

I agree with you 100. I'm not against anything within the community. I just simply don't wanna hear about it 24/7.

1.) As far as I know I haven't rammed anything down your throat XD
That said, you'd need to give more information. I, for one, don't see that many lgbt ads. I will go a step further though, so that you can't say I am dodging anything. You may think it's ok, and you may think that gays are deserving of equal rights. IF that's the case, more power to you man, but that is not the case for other people. In fact with the current regime change we are seeing new legislation/ attacks on legislation to remove rights or justify discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Particularly the Texas state supreme court is seeing a case to deny spousal rights to gay couples, and the current administration is siding on allowing people being allowed to be fired for their sexual orientation Zarda v Altitude Express. Those are the two that first come to mind. "Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I can't believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed thereselves because of their sin." - School Board Member in Arkansas. It's important to let children know that this is not how we feel about them. Not to mention that the abuse of lgbt people globally is still in full swing. The Chechen government is rounding up, torturing, and murdering gays in the night. Just a few years ago Uganda passed the "kill the gays bill" which made homosexuality punishable by death. That's not to mention the other dozen or so countries that allow it.
2.) You have a fundamental misunderstanding about transGENDERism. Gender is not synonymous with your sex chromosomes. Gender is the social norms associated with a particular sex. Things that have nothing to do with what genitals you have. How you perceive the world, how you want the world to perceive you, how you want to dress, how you talk, etc. Transgender people are just asking that you treat them with respect, and not make things more difficult for them, especially when their teen suicide rates are astronomical.
3.) You receiving backlash for your opinions is freedom of speech. The first amendment only protects you from the government, not others.
4.) They want to be treated equally. You may know the phrase "Separate but equal is never truly equal." Brown v Board of Education.

Congrats if you made it this far. I look forward to your response.

[That2kKid21]

I'm just gonna respond to each number that you wrote. 1. I am once again gonna bring up freedom of speech, because it seems like every time one person says something negative about the LGBT+ community, it turns into an entire campaign that spirals out of control and ultimately starts another political war. We all have our own opinions, that's understood. If homosexual people want to speak out and say "respect me" that's bullshit. No one has to respect anyone. Respect is earned, not given freely. 2. If gender is just the "social norms" then that really doesn't make any sense. Gender is a science-based word (typically, male and female). When you say gender is the social norms associated with a particular sex, that's illustrating that gender and sex is the same thing, which is false. Sex is typically associated with sexual preference (homosexual, straight). If a transgender person commits suicide, who's to say that's not because they have something mentally wrong with them?

[That2kKid21]

Who's to say that they didn't have something else in their life to begin with? We don't know. We all have our own opinions, therefore you can't tell people to change their opinion/viewpoint on transgenders just to make them feel good. 3. Understood, but I don't see any backlash for liberals when they speak out on stuff. Only when we conservatives do. 4. Socially equal doesn't matter. It didn't matter when America was designed, and it doesn't matter now. Everyone has equal rights, social rights doesn't exist. Thanks for actually having a conversation, most people on this topic just start cussing at me or such and such.

[ladsin]

Ah, fun. You're a quick responder. I appreciate that. I'm confused at the ways in which you responded, but we can start here. Hopefully we'll have a productive conversation. 1.) You understand that freedom of speech is a two way road right? If you have the right to say that members of the lgbt community are wrong, freaks, etc then others can say that you are a bigot, dickhead etc. Again, social repercussions for your speech are not covered by freedom of speech. 2.) You're just wrong here. Google the definitions of gender. "noun either the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated by social and cultural roles and behavior:" "NOUN Either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female." Etc etc.

[ladsin]

3.) This is the same as your first point. Did you not read the quote I gave by a school board member that he wanted all queers to kill themselves? Not to mention that conservatives are pushing legislation to actively discriminate them. I'm not aware of liberals doing this. 4.) What do you think is the difference between social rights and rights?

[That2kKid21]

1. Freedom of speech is for all members of society, yes, but then why are liberals constantly pushing for everything to be a hate crime? If I speak out against gays, it's a hate crime, if I say the N word, it's a hate crime, etc. That doesn't make any sense. Same thing with transgenders. I don't support them, so I say that, and they they try to say I CAN'T say that? That also makes no sense. 2. Everyone is either male or female. A male can't mate with a potato and make a baby. It doesn't work that way. And I don't argue with science. 3. You're mad about one teacher who said that. That's not my problem. You're acting as if all conservatives think that way, which is so far from the truth. 4. Social rights involves freedom of speech. Though there are some laws I don't agree with, like verbal hate crimes (which are handled pretty loosely so it barely matters). Rights is just in general rights.

[ladsin]

1.) People are saying that you're wrong, and whatever your personal thoughts on the issue you are not allowed to deny them equal rights. You can say the N word, watch me "nigger" now if someone decides to tell me that I'm a bigot and an immoral person because of that then that is their usage of free speech. 2.) This isn't entirely correct. There are also intersex people. People with XXY or XYY chromosomes. There are also hermaphrodites. Hermaphrodites are people who are born with both sex organs. Again, you're missing the point though. Social norms have nothing to do with a persons genitalia. What does wearing a dress have to do with being a woman? Are only women with vaginas allowed to wear a dress? 3.) I'm of course angry that a person could say such a heinous thing. I realize that that is not the position that all conservatives have. Have I, for example, accused you of believing such? There is a problem with conservatives trying to legislate the right to discriminate against them.

[ladsin]

4.) You think that the right to free speech is a social right? Above you said that social rights don't matter.

[Tomblebee]

Be what you want. Do who you are but do so quietly.

[Browneye57]

Here here! So un-PC. :)

[That2kKid21]

Sorry, but there's really no other way to state my opinion lol

[Browneye57]

Well, I happen to agree. I don't know why all of a sudden the whole f'ing country is preoccupied with the fringe element - the 1-3% of the population. Why is it that the way out on the edge of everything carries any weight at all? And frankly I don't really care about all their weirdness, whatever they want to do is fine, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. We just don't need all the gory details. :)

[That2kKid21]

Exactly

[KingTrump]

I agree with you 100%... I don't support anything in the LGBT+ community. Pretty smart for a 15 year old lol. Don't let these liberals tell you otherwise.

[Waffles731]

Because in parts of the southeast they kick out kids for being gay or beat them, or hook electrical cables to their genitals to shock the gay out of them

[That2kKid21]

Not at all true

[SportsBrah]

Maybe they're all just mentally ill? Its just a suggestion.

[ivanhunterjo]

I have LGBT friends and I respect their decision to be themselves and I respect the community as a whole but I don't want to have it drummed into me all the time

[Anonymous]

everything is a religion no matter what anyone says from atheist, to LGBT, to wicca

all that's left is to make a choice on the religion I have chosen Jesus Christ cause he is GOD and he is above us

but LGBT most of them have been raped and instead of killing the rapist like GOD said

no they take it out on the people lol

[That2kKid21]

I'm not religious, not even a little, but I agree with you, they're taking it out on the wrong people lol. I wouldn't say most of them have been raped, that statistic is not there. But they shouldn't take out their pain on the common folk.

[Anonymous]

Yes... all of this plus more.
