Ya know it’s weird. People always use the same non-aggressive excuses for ‘politely’ not accepting all or parts of the LGBT+ community: “It just doesn’t make sense to me” or “I just don’t understand how people can be like that”. This just in guys - ⭐️You don’t have to understand something in order to show acceptance!⭐️ Nobody asked you to think about having sex with someone of the same gender. Nobody asked you to get your head around what it feels like to be trapped in a body you don’t want. All you’re being asked to do is to make an effort to accept that some people are different to you in a big way and that it isn’t a bad thing. It’s the same thing with the disabled or BAME communities. You don’t have to know what it’s like to be in a wheelchair to recognise that ramps and lifts need to be installed in buildings. You don’t have to know what racism feels like to recognise the injustices that happen every day just because one person has a different coloured skin to some other people. As someone who is both part of the LGBT+ and disabled communities, it really bothers me that more people don’t think like this. I do not pretend to know all the ins and outs of Cerebral Palsy, nor what it feels like to identify as Non-Binary, BUT 👏 I 👏 DON’T 👏 HAVE 👏 TO. I have enough experience with prejudice to understand that it feels bad, and it doesn’t take much effort at all to empathise when other people experience it, and act in a way that hopefully lessens it or at least doesn’t cause it. Rant over Happy Pride Month

ITT^

[quote]Happy Pride Month everyone, don't forget to love eachother![/quote] * waits for nil and girrafalope to arrive * [spoiler]only military personnel will understand[/spoiler][spoiler]no hate btw [/spoiler]

Kinda funny, there’s two ppl in this section. 1. Are the people who don’t feel like Pride month is actually necessary bc compared to what other people have down for this nation (they only get a day) it doesn’t even seem fair. 2.then there’s the people who hate every opinion that isn’t theirs. “ITs fUnNy hOw tHEreS sO maNY DoWnVOtEs” okay buddy good for you, thanks for observing, your rant isn’t needed bc nobody cares. Anyway point it this post says “love everybody” but the people who are actually in the Pride movement (I think) are generating the most hate. the others are giving they’re take on it which isn’t exactly hate but an expressed opinion. So to the people who are criticizing the ones who don’t exactly agree with pride say start loving everyone instead of hating (which most of you do anyway) because that’s what you use for your headlines. [spoiler]there is hate on both sides in a sense but it’s being sparked by the pride side[/spoiler]

Never thought I'd see this many negative comments/deleted comments, towards a post that said love each other. [spoiler]Just kidding, 2/3s of this place is a cesspit of people who have yet to have their own thoughts about the world and believe whatever their homeschooling tells them to.[/spoiler]

Agreed! Much love and respect to our LGBTQ+ community. I’ll fully admit than I’m an old geezer and don’t fully understand all parts of the movement. But I do believe people deserve to be happy and treated equally regardless of their gender preferences. So cheers to everyone involved.

Tried to upvote, but it wouldn't work. Back at ya.

To be honest, I don't really understand the whole deal cause I've never experienced feelings like that, but I do support the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness so members of the LGBTQ community deserve to be treated with respect and kindness just like everyone else.

No thanks, society sucks
