  • Your heart’s in the right place, but I think you need to learn more about the LGBT community. Stuff that doesn’t come from sources trying to paint it as sinful or a corrruption of society.

    Honestly, a lot of anti-LGBT talk is just an evolution of anti-woman talk. They were oppressed and made to feel shame for who they are, and then they decided they weren’t going to take it anymore. There is no shame. Only pride.

    Misogynists tried to demonise the entire feminist movement by saying “look at those radical feminists who just hate men. They’re all ugly and weird!” Looking back, a lot of the men who did that were projecting hard, since they were rarely attractive or sensible themselves.

    Then a bunch of women who listened to those misogynists a little too much took the lessons to heart, not wanting to hate women but being taught they should. So they say “I can’t support feminism because of those radicals”, or “I’m not like other girls, I’m one of the good ones!” It’s still misogyny. It’s just a self-serving sort.

    But all it takes to be feminist is to think women should have equal rights to men. And all it takes to support the LGBT community is to say they shouldn’t be persecuted for being who they are.


  • I don’t think incest and being gay are equivelant. Beyond the biological issues, there is an inherent power dynamic in families that make it difficult AF to judge consent. Meanwhile, there’s no inherent issues in LGBT relationships.

    I find that people who think “the LGBT community are weird” are the weird ones. What’s so weird about it? If it’s different from what you find normal, then that’s a reflection on you more than them.

    But weirder still are the people so fixated on hating the LGBT community that they attack them, demonise them, strip away their rights, and all that stuff. If you oppose weirdos, then oppose those ones. The bar is so low right now that that counts as being supportive.
