Acceptance Is Not Everywhere
First Off
This article is meant to be informative. I want to say before I even begin that, I Do Not agree with the treatment or view points towards the LGBTQ in the Midwest or anywhere that is discriminative or hurtful to them. I support the LGB and it's members.
I am writing this because I want people to understand how differently they are treated in the Bible Belt and throughout the Midwest in general, as compared to other places in America.
By observations I've seen on GAG, I think people naïvely think, on the coasts or in larger cities, that views and acceptance on homosexuality are the same throughout the United States of America. I'm sorry to have to tell you guys but they are not. In fact in some places the treatment is horrible and even deadly.
It's Dangerous and Can be Illegal
Travel advisories for LGBTQ members have been issued in five different states in the Midwest and South for years and years now. In three different states all in the Bible Belt not only is crossdressing frowned upon, it's actually illegal in some counties.
Individuals will be charged if caught crossdressing in public with attempting to impersonate a woman which is charged as a sex crime. Drag shows are illegal and gay bars just don't exist period.
Violence Toward Transexuals
Most homosexuals in rural areas of the Midwest can not even be openly gay becaues of the danger it imposes to their safety. Over 40 transexuals have been beat to death or killed already in the Midwest in the year 2020 alone. These crimes just do not make the headlines or national news, so most people are unaware of this huge problem still occuring.
Race or Age Is Not a Factor
Ages of these individuals who were killed ranged from 16-52 years old and were mostly men impersonating women. Race or age did not seem to make a difference in these horrible murderous crimes against transexuals in the Bible Belt.
MONA
2020 was the 22nd consecutive year that Democrats in the Missouri legislature have fought for the passage of the Missouri Non-Discrimination Act, or MONA, which would ban discrimination against members of the LGBTQ community. It was the 22nd consecutive year that the Conservative majority rejected the bill without even allowing a vote.
Did You Know?
In Missouri and Arkansas entering 2021 you can still be denied services, an apartment, or not hired for a job for who you are or who you choose to love without any legal recourse? It's true and it happens everyday.
It's not okay that some people in the Midwest do not except and embrace the LGBTQ and the many wonderful members of its community.
Hopefully, in the future people will stop this crazy, violent, behavior and realize that their views towards homosexuality is horrible, unfair and just wrong.
I hope the Bible Belt will change it's views and understanding towards the LGBTQ community in the future.
Conclusion
Until that time comes please be aware not everyone is on the same page as you reguarding the rights and acceptance of The LGBTQ. It can be dangerous and unsafe for them in some places in America, sadly even today.
Thanks for reading everyone 💖....
What Girls & Guys Said
16 79Why not asking for rights where you don't have them? Like Arabic countries. All protests are in western countries...

Well from personal experience, i don't like you guys because of the hurt that was brought upon me. However If someone want's to marry someone of the same sex, the church should have the right to allow it or not. Do i think same sex marriage should be illegal? no I think everyone should be free to do as they wish as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Do i care for LGBTQ? nope but do i hate you guys no cause i see u as human beings who may or may not have some sort of mental problem or just extremely lonely. But oh well you guys do you idc
asking for tolerance is foolish, asking for acceptance is arrogant. i'm an atheist but i know society is built on conformity. all civilizaiton is fundamentally built on exclusion not inclusion
include too many people and society will lose its ability to function because there are too many types of people and everyone wants something different or wants it in a different way.
you don't know how to build civilization or maintain one.
civilizations are built on the cooperation of different types of people
@nevernevernever no, they really aren't
@007kingifrit the only way for large groups of people to come together and act cooperatively is for large groups of people to come together and cooperatively. like that's just what civilization is
@nevernevernever all civlizations are built on genocide actually the extermination of those who are different is the basis of civilization. diversity dooms a society and the society falls apart slowly. go on, pick any succesful civilization. its built on genocide
@007kingifrit I'm fascinated to know what kind of whacked up stuff you've been reading online
@nevernevernever not reading anything, its just the cold hard truth name a civilization not built on genocide
@007kingifrit you haven't ever done any research or read anything to support your views?
@nevernevernever of course i have, but that's not what you asked. you asked if i got my views FROM somewhere. i merely observed all of history and saw that there are no exceptions to this rule stable successful nations with longterm peace all commit genocide. name an exception
I love women who praise Diversity and then wonder how come they get raped by men who come from cultures and countries where their crime would have fallen upon def ears. Then you wonder why. I love stupid women who have liberals minds and then become victims of their own stupidity.
Rape is still rape no matter what political party, gender, or advocations they promote
Good, it shouldn't be accepted. It is a degenerate lifestyle.
Nice Mytake and i hope they get equal respect and status everywhere on this planet
Someday
What it does say is to be discerning. Ie. I do actively discriminate against gays. I would not be friends with them or hire them or allow them near my children when i have them. Its not really the gay sex thats the problem its the faggotry. The effeminate men and being proud that is the main issue. Im not proud to be straight. Im just straight. If you're proud to be gay you're promoting sin and being prideful. Disgusting sin doesn't make you special. Yet they prance down the street in sparkly thongs waving gay pride flags. Not acceptable. These kind of Gays also usually are promoters of all kinds of sin such as communism they are bad people.
Now gays like Dave Rubin. You would never know he's gay. He is a normal man. Had his life generally in order. he's not out pressuring people and promoting sin. If he wants to have gay sex in the privacy of his home no big deal. Thats his personal sin to worry about. Not my business.
As you dance around the fact that you are nothing but a disgusting bigot.
But you seem very proud to be a judgmental "A"...
No. I just stand up for whats right. Im not going to bend over like a gay because people say its rude.
Your idea of what is "right" is disgusting and it gets people killed. Asshole.
@msc545 Are you gay lol
@modelUN242 No I'm not. I just don't like bigots.
@modelUN242 wow cuz someone sticks up for gay people that means they're gay wtf
@msc545 how am i a bigot? Its not gays i particularly have an issue with.
You're fine
@msc545 ok simp
@Brainsbeforebeauty stop virtue signalling, it's annoying and retarded
@modelUN242 no you calling someone gay is childish and stupid af...
@Brainsbeforebeauty I agree with you that was ridiculous
Still don't get how that was "virtue signaling"🤷🏼♀️ just another term people overusing and using incorrectly... Sometimes I just feel like throwing a dictionary at em 😂😂
@wowwgirl 😂😂
Have You Ever Felt Like Throwing A Dictionary At Someone 😂? ↗
@Brainsbeforebeauty 😂😂😂 virtue signaling 🤷 kids these days
People period smh 🤷🏼♀️
Ahh I would rather be gay in anywhere in Alabama, Mississippi, Utah, Wyoming, than be member of the lgbt community in Baltimore, South-Side Chicago, East St. Louis, or Camden New Jersey. Despite certain discrimination, rural Americans are still very nice, and generally don’t want to start trouble in public.
Allah Forbids such sinful behavior.
And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?(80) Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."(81) Al-Araf 80-81
Ash-Shura 25:165-166
Do you approach males among the worlds (165). And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."(166)
Al-Naml 27:55
Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly."
Quran 4:16
And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.
Liberal bs, I think that's all hate speech and very inappropriate to show in public to normal day-to-day people. It effects and interrupts society by children seeing this and thinking it's a route they can take... Disguising. Perhaps keep it on the low and introduce it to fully developed adults? Then go and do whatever you. But I and millions of other Americans say, please keep that away from schools and our impressionable American children!
Oh no. The children will think being gay is okay... and then the dinosaurs will come back and then everyone will be gay too and die of cancer and the world will blow up.

I don't want the LGBT community.
I'm fine with gays and bi.
Trans isn't a thing for me, which, unlike what people think, doesn't mean I hate those who claim to be or even treat them worse than anyone else.
But I'm certainly not fine with the LGBT community. Who has proven to be one of the most toxic, hateful and exclusive community I've seen in a while. And I don't care that they pretend to be oppressed, if you act like an asshole, you're an asshole, the same as anyone else, straight, gay, chair or goat.
From hate towards straight people, to openly expressing their disgust about them, or hoping for their death.
They're also very active in canceling, harassing, attacking anyone not following their little cult, even toward their own.
Acting like being gay or bi or trans make them better people than straight people.
Not accepting any criticism and calling everyone something-phobic when they disagree.
And talking about oppression when you have literally the complete freedom to do the worst things to people without consequences is kinda funny.
Also, I'm not "accepting" gays and bi. I don't have to, they're people like me or anyone else. I'm not asking myself if I should treat them differently, I just won't. Some will ask to be treated differently, and to them, I'll just say that I won't. No better or worse than anyone else, as long as they don't do anything to deserve it.
I do apologise if you have been treated this way, and we are trying to work out the kinks in the community. For example, Bi people are not really included in with even us saying pick a side. Though I'd like to bring attention that we are a fairly new group and only recently been able to open that much with only 60 to 70 years of our community being around. We do accept any people or at least I do but we really don't want to have hateful ideas that will pollute the community more than it already is. And the phobia thing is a defence mechanism in case someone else is very harmful in my view. As for hoping for death, I do wish you blessings and good health and i do not condone any thing of the sort.
I love this, WowGirl. Thank you!
So sick of hearing about the gay and trans idiots. If you bums didn't force your views on everyone people would leave you alone.
Says you and based on your general profile, I am pretty sure that you are of European decent, which means you and your entire culture USA included has forced your opinions on everyone else for centuries, and you are attacking them for spreading knowledge on the discriminations you still push for
You're such a fag nobody does anything to trans or gay people. Also everyone sucks on USA nipple.
I’m confused why do you people come on boards and posts like this? You people secretly hate gays and lesbians any chance you get you’re on posts like this. Don’t you have issues in Europe to deal with? Instead of trolling the LGTBQ community
First off I'm American. Secondly, if the LGTBQ didn't force their insane views on the rest of the population you wouldn't hear from people like me. I also don't hate gays or lesbians, just don't force your ideas on me. I think trans people are mentally ill. They don't believe in biology or reality.
Bjornlron you Christians started this with your discrimination towards gays and lesbians. You people are the biggest problems with your stupid religion and hextrosexual people too
I'm not even Christian. Gays and lesbians have all the same rights as anyone. Just because there's people out there that think you're going to hell or immoral doesn't mean you have no rights. Learn to live with other people's opinions or continue being a victim.
I didn’t say you were gay I said Christians are the root of this and hextrosexual people with their ignorance. Yes I’m gay and how is that affecting anyone and my preference? I’ve received so much hate from straight people and Christians I avoid both. I’m not Christian and I don’t believe in hell. No one where In the Bible does it condemns gays.
Here here
I’m sick of the backlash
Root of this my ass. Nobody is stopping you from being gay so quit complaining.
You’re complaining and everyone who rants about gay people stfu and mind your own business
I'll mind my business when you stop waving your shit flag in my face 24/7
Am I waving my flag now? Nope 👎 stay in your own lane
Fly away lesbian seagull
Go suck a dick Bjornlron literally
Unzip your fly for me
I eat pussy only
You have a great phallus I’m bot interested in that
Not”
@dragonbot14 you should be glad, white culture is superior to all others
Yea good for you Sister, loved reading your article, love your intelligence. I'm bisexual and all what you say Sis, what has it got to do with anyone? Nothing, love is love and come, s in many guise, s. Love to keep in touch with you, vPaul xxx🇬🇧🏳️🌈
Religion is a poison.
So is anthrax
I’d rather take anthrax than go to church.
Well I framed that question horribly 🤦
So true.
@Juxtapose yeah he got me
My opinion us that you have to tolerate thier lifestyle. But you neither have to accept or like it. But violence against them is still breaking the law so none of that. Personaly I dont realy care one way or another. But I see a lot of people forgetting that religious organizations have just as much of a right to hate LGBT. Thats the beauty of the first amendment. He have to tolerate eachother but in no way do we have to like eachother
A man was exposed as gay as recently as 2019, and lost a significant amount of his youtube followers.
Without shame. There is degeneracy. Weirdness.
That guy will probably NEVER do another gay act because we shamed him for being gay.
Im from probably the gayest city's on earth and personally i think fagism is disgusting and i dont get it... but im going to tell them what to do the same amount as what i want them telling me what to do... zero.. actually though from what I've seen some of the baddest fighters around are trannys or fags... id guess because they got tormented their whole life and at some point said never again... still though... getting your ass kicked by a tranny or a poop dick would just be bad on so many levels...
San Francisco?
Yeah
Lmao
