Ask LGBT+ people anything!

[Tarot]

No, I'm pretty sure your response to this is why that user commented. You're right-off-the-bat nasty.


If you listen to every person in the world, this statement is true. Go be North Korean for a day. I'm sure someone calling you a name will totally make them feel better about their plight



No one is uncomfortable with anyone coming out and being unafraid. At all. The fact that you think anyone thinks this just shows how far out of the headset with society you are.





There is only one group of people politically charging your side and for the sake of keeping this on topic, I'll roll my eyes since the biggest political groups in the country avidly flaunt their sexuality as a means of support.


There's a wiki page of LGBT-driven "LITERALLY BEATING US AND MURDERING US IN TEH STREETS" page and it's maybe... 100 cases across the globe, not counting muslim countries because those aren't hate-crimes there. I'm sure there are a few more not mentioned because it wasn't driven by the fact that they were LGBT. But those numbers are not even on a scale when compared to how many LGBT people there actually were. I can compile a giant list of children who murdered their families, and make it like all children are on a rampage and you shouldn't have kids because they'll murder you in your sleep. If you're in America/Canada, you're just as safe as everyone else. Stop reacting like this is communist Russia and everyone is being lynched. That's not the case. No one wants to kill you.




Then freaking do it!!! You think everyone agrees with how I go out in public?? You think I don't get honked at and whistled at on a daily basis for running in my workout clothes?? Everyone has to deal with the assholes in society. Sexually charged violence? Really? If someone assaults you, call the damn cops. That's not allowed towards anyone.



I'm done quoting each and every line... I'm already expecting a warning for this, but whatever. Stop blaming everyone for the actions of a few dickheads. I'm in the military and I've dealt with the dredges of society. Men who have raped Japanese girls, guys who have beat up Thai prostitutes, women who have sexually assaulted other women on deployments, gay, bi, lesbian, and I've even dealt with the assault of a transitioning MtF, and you know what all of those people had in common? They were attacked by singular people acting like assholes. The victims were absolutely supported 100% by society and protected from the criminals. If you're being sexually attacked for walking down the street, you have recourse. If you're being stared at and people are saying mean things... get over it. We all deal with it. Hell, last week when i was filling up my gas tank, some inbred hick yelled at me to "get my fine country ass over there". Wanna know what i didn't do? Acknowledge the idiot or make a big deal out of it.
Honestly, everyone has got to stop making a big deal out of things. You say you want to be treated normally, well my love, normal people don't demand special treatment, host half-naked pride parades with pornographic displays of indecency, and we don't make a big deal out of our lives.
My honest-to-goodness best advice, and you can take this or just call me a bigot, is to just IGNORE the meanies. You will not force everyone to love you. You will not make everyone accept you. You will not garner any support by being militant and nasty.

I promise you from the bottom of my heart, if I ever see someone being beat up for any reason at all, I step in. I do it all the time and I'm not the only person. No one should stand for anyone being assaulted and according to your previous posts, we're all the enemy. Straight people are the devil and we make your lives unbearable because we're politicizing you and murdering you in the streets. Do you not see how angry you sound?

What would it absolutely take to make you happy? I never call anyone "brave" for coming out. I don't display pride flags or change my stupid FB photo. I've met heroes. They jump on bombs to save their friends. They run into burning buildings to rescue children. And I fly one flag. It's my country's flag and I'm damn proud of it. Everyone NEEDS their label and some people hide behind it and use it to be an asshole. You will always get a free pass to call someone a "transphobe" or "homophobe" just because they disagree with some of your statements. You get to hide behind that while someone else is branded something they may not actually be and they are shunned from society or fired from their job. If that's not power, I don't know what is.

You have all the power right now. You're in absolute control. Everyone is too scared to say anything lest it offends. I mean... that's the whole reason this thread exists! Because we get called awful names for trying to understand what is happening around us. You automatically assume everyone else has a better life because they're not you. Empathy, my friend. It helps put life in perspective.

From gay hate to war veterans, you sure did take this thread for a ride. Except literally nothing you said was a valuable opinion or correct in any way. But thanks for trying love. Better luck next time...? :/

That was a wild ride and essentially boils down to "You're not allowed to have problems because other people have problems"

i come in here expecting a nice and fun thread and instead it's people arguing whether lgbt people get killed in the streets or not...

why did i even get my hopes up LOL

[Irohh]

and this is why political discussion is so hard to do nowadays... People have such a hard time discussing it without getting worked up Can't we just respectfully disagree? I think this thread would've been nice and informative if it had stayed on topic.

[Mindfang]

mate i refuse to "respectfully" disagree with people like some of the people that have posted here.

people ask lgbt people to answer their questions respectfully, we make threads like these, we get told were attention seekers that need to shut up about labels and pride, so we dont answer questions, and it all loops back.

if people want respect theyll stop disrespecting us for trying to cater to them lol.

ok i do apologise bc my last comment was kinda condescending and unnecessary and i get wanting to be in an ignorance is bliss situation but for me its impossible because im constantly aware people around me want me dead. even the good ones can turn on you. ive had people have fallouts with me and immediately return to calling me a girl, and this is over stuff like "i didnt invite them to a party i was going to with some mutual friends" and thats such a telling piece of evidence that this person doesnt see me as anything but a girl. the fact of the matter is, weeding out the homophobes and the transphobes early on in a relationship makes for much easier existence in the long run. dont let yourself be friends with people who dont think youre a person, or invalidate your identity because they dont believe in it. it might be easier to keep your head in the sand but you really dont need nor deserve the kind of toxicity that comes with people who dont take you seriously or dislike you because of you. love yourself enough to weed out the snakes and cut them loose as far away from you as possible. the cishets might not believe lgbt phobia is real but as you know now its very real and its too real to let yourself be surrounded by people who you feel unsafe around.

Yeah, I can see how bad it can be for you... That's just awful from people, it only tells how serious do they take you, and how two-faced people are with you... And I do admire how strong you have to be, and how you actually fight the transphobia and homophobia, but I just do not feel strong enough to do that myself, not yet, I am a very passive person who only fights when pushed against the wall, but otherwise, I just stay quiet and lay low haha...

I'm still here and down to do that

[Irohh]

I have been mocked and disrespected for my sexuality many times, the less you stoop to their level the better the outcome will be.

holy moley those are some long comments

I just don't understand one thing

why do you think your sexual preferences make you special or interesting enough to quantify a thread in the first place this is just going to end up filled with emotional long biased rants and stories about unpleasant experiences imo

if I sucked dick I don't think that would make me any more of an interesting person

I would just suck dick then

you're not special because you're LGBQT whatever stop calling attention to it and making it into an issue and then someday maybe it'll stop being one

I'm fine with everyone despite their affiliations or preferences honestly this is too much drama for a neopets forum lul

this just in lads: being gay is about licking the same sex's genitals. you don't get any different life experiences, you don't get treated any different in society, you don't have to fight for your rights and for the law to treat you like a human being, you are not at all constantly threatened by the possibility of verbal and physical assault, you certainly don't have anything to say that could explain to people with different experiences how things have been for you.

and you are not seen in any particular light if you leave the house with your partner - wait what? ohh my bad! gay dating is just about sucking dat dicc in the privacy of your bedroom, not living life together and holding a partner's hand in public and silly things like that! that's obviously just Straight Business

another new headline courtesy of rad kite lad: being lgbt = being a gay man. that is all. lbt? don't know her. she just tryin to feel special, who she think she is? damn lbt kids, ruining neopets cheating forums...
