I love /s how my desire to have the same rights as straight people is considered an "agenda" & how my desire to not be murdered is considered my "view". That's really all Pride is about, our demands (you're damn well right, we DEMAND) to be safe & have the same rights as everyone else, including the right to fair jobs access, fair housing, everything that straight people expect for themselves. Pride is about normalizing our existence in the world, not about trying to "shove our views in everyone's face".
this has to be a joke. easily the largest source of violence
against your community is from within. domestic violence is huge
.. why do you hate each other? everything you read will say the violence is perpetrated by a "partner" .. what sort of parter do
you expect a gay person might choose? everyone is so desperate to
make it seem like random straight guys are going around beating
up gay (or trans or whatever) people for fun.
do you know how hard it is to find modern recent examples of "gay bashing" like you want to fearmonger? wikipedia, the source for
all things bullshit, repeatedly will use wording like "in some countries" and other vague wording.. do you know how large the
USA section of the Violence against LGBT people page is? And half
of it is COPE about "ohh, it's because nobody reports it" .. and
you know what happens when you lot have nothing to complain about
in the US? "well, it's still happening somewhere on the planet!"
..
it gets even more annoying when it's like "this homeless gay
person was robbed! gay homeless people are more likely to be
robbed! like 95%!" .. imagine i robbed 100 people and 5 of them
were gay.. a perhaps generous estimate of the % of people in the
US who are gay.. do you see how that skews that statistics?
almost every homeless person gets robbed. holy cow all the
homeless gay people got robbed, we have to do something about
this violence against queer people!
then you keep getting at how "words are violence" .. you
repeatedly lump the word "fag" in with "pedophile" and "groomer"
the first is an insult against a trait that can't be changed.. a
part of who you are, as some people insist. but the second two
it's obvious you would want to defend against. but if you remove
the second two we have the two options here:
"fag" <-> "straight white men"
these are traits that can't be changed, and your usage is meant
to degrade and demean. do you make fun of the handicapped?
perhaps people with speech impediments? bash a few redheads now
and again? these are now both traits protected under the Civil
Rights Act btw.. but talking about progress is lame right?
with that opinion. First of all, I have no delusion that I'm going to convince anyone here of anything, I'm really not sure why I even keep responding. Except, maybe there's an LGBTQ person out there that's been afraid to come out & maybe seeing my posts will help them be less afrai
i know why you keep responding.. because that's exactly what you
came here for. you're like those people who on their first day
joining twitter are trying out their hand at some bullshit
trolling only to be dunked on by a bunch of spergs with anime
avitars. you didn't want to be a part of this community, which is
why you set yourself apart from it in the beginning. "if it
wasn't for a few BBS women back in the day who told me everything
will be okay because you're a woman" .. fuck off. i was going to
ask if you wanted a parade for that, but that's exactly what you
want.
leopards eating faces are straight people that pretend to support gay people just long enough to try to get us to let our guards down. ---
this is mental illness. if you're afraid of people like this.
fear of what's around every corner.
BRAVO!! BRAVO!!!
I purposely quoted this entire message because I like it that much.
Spot on accurate! Jesus I'm so freakin tired of the drama-assholes like
the recent one we have here. Also known as trolls; hopefully to be gone soon.
Again, well written and thanks!
... Post may contain information unsuitable for overly sensitive persons.Some people just want to be an eternal victim. I am glad to see more backbone in this country. I have no problem with gay people, it is just the 'look at me' and constant victim status. I know some gay folk that are indenpendent strong productive members of the community. Not needing parades and protests. I never have seen a 'we are straight' parade yet. I wonder how that would go over? Michael,

i thought you were the sysop because so many people (239) on that bbs
have the sysop's ip address and weird last one dates going back to 1995.
go into your msg settings and set the pointer date.

He does not know. I have a few that only log in a couple
times a month and read messages. Digital man explained about
websocket reflecting my ip instead of some of the callers
ip. I don't plan on fixing it because I am not sure it is
a problem. A lot of the user list here may go back before
1995. Lol. We have been around a long time. Do you run a
