I feel like that last part of the title is insanely unnecessary.

  • Ok, but you don’t think it’s necessary to tell bigots to stay away? That doesn’t sound too good.

  • I’m sorry, have you ever used these forums before? They’re toxic as hell. Saying -blam!- like that in this cesspit is literally a beacon to trolls and window lickers. Not to mention it literally adds nothing to the discussion and, as I said, is insanely unnecessary.

  • Considering the contents of this post, it is not. All you need do is read the two other comments on this post to understand. If someone is -blam!- I don't see why they should be included in a conversation where they will do nothing but spread hate. I do not want them here any more than they want me and the rest of the LGBT community to be here. Please consider trying to read past this kind of thought. The only people who have commented here are those who mask their hatred with unbiased claims and the same tired old excuses.

  • Here this is the definition of an ally, I'll let you decide if you fit. [quote]An ally, straight ally, or heterosexual ally is a heterosexual and cisgender person who supports equal civil rights, gender equality, and LGBT social movements, challenging -blam!-, biphobia, and transphobia. Not everyone who meets this definition identifies as an "ally". An ally acknowledges that LGBT people face discrimination and thus are socially disadvantaged. They aim to use their position and privilege as heterosexual and cisgender individuals in a society focused on cisnormativity and heteronormativity to counter discrimination against LGBT people.[/quote]

  • Thats a very broad statement and Im sure if I dont agree with a few parts of it I probably just be labeled a bigot. Im ok with gay people, but the lgbt community and what they do is doing more harm than good. If most people of any race/gender/anything just kept their stuff private then most people wouldnt care and most issues wouldnt even be a thing. Im straight and I can say that seeing straight people doing certain things in public I think is gross because I think it should be a private thing, and I feel that way about anyone.

  • LGBT people get bullied, beaten and killed just for holding hands. I don't think that should be considered something private. Not to mention it really shouldn't have to be LGBT or not. What someone else is doing, so long as they aren't hurting someone else, really should be off no concern to you. I think today's societies issue is less that people need to keep things private and more of the fact that people should simply mind their own business. If something makes you uncomfortable or angry why not just ignore it. Like I said, as long as they aren't actively spreading hate, harassing people, or attempting to break the law people really should just mind their own business. Why attempt to dip your toes in someone else's pond when you have your own entire lake?

  • I dont think youre getting what my main thing was, Im ok with gay people, the lgbt community is bad though and its doing more harm than good. Im a white male, but Im not just default put into a male community, or a white community, you choose to be part of communities.

  • I understand what you're saying here and it is a valid statement but there is unfortunately going to be people who give groups bad names no matter what it is. The part that separates you from the bad is your willingness to stand your ground and share the truth behind your cause. The same thing goes for other groups that have bad reputations: Feminists are always seen in the light of: "men are evil" "we hate men" When in truth the core values of the cause is not only to fight for equal rights for women but also to break societal norms that are held against men as well. To redefine the concept of toxic masculinity. Men should be allowed to express emotion freely without being seen as weak, ect. The Black Lives Matter movement particularly is seen in bad light recently but their cause is not: "black lives are more important than others" But rather, Yes all lives are important, but please understand that while that is true not all people believe that and black lives have been and are still being discriminated against, racially profiled and killed just for what people assume them to be. I hope that makes sense and isn't too off kilter.

  • This is an online forum full of 14 year olds. Hate will spread, regardless of the title.

  • It's true but I'd rather make an attempt to curate my online expirence when I can. Whether I write that in or not, it will happen. But at least it will dissuade a portion of them.

  • The more you bring attention to it, the more it will happen. Like telling people NOT to push the big red button on the wall with a sign that says "Do not push". You know people are going to be even MORE tempted to push it.

  • That may be true but even if someone does come to complain it doesn't bother me. I'd rather spend the time to educate their hatred rather than make the attempt to further it. Most of the time, regardless of what I put in the title, I always end up hearing some kind of anti LGBT rhetoric. 😅 It's nothing new to me but if I can have a chance to either dissuade them from that line of thought to answer my questions or maybe even give them some new information it feels like I've at least made a little headway.

  • Don’t take this the wrong way, but if somebody doesn’t like LGBT people, saying “allies/lgbt+” only will probably just drag more people out from the woodwork just for the sake of antagonizing. Nobody is suddenly going to think “y’know, those folk are alright” by reading your post.

  • That's true but, at the risk of sounding crazy, I believe that when something bad is put into the universe it needs to be offset by something good. So if someone comes on here and says something hateful I try my best to give them the tools to become more educated on the subject or even just to see another side of what they're speaking on. It's a useless endeavor but I don't mind.
