Apparently, I am now a homophobe. I don't support the LGBT community because of a traumatic event as a child. I never knew a lack of support means hate. I guess i should start changing my life now. Are there any lifetime homophobes who can show me the way?
All LGBT supporters please stay away as I also learned I've been bullying you because you're an ally. I don't remember pushing you in lockers but I guess that's how people like me are supposed to do things.
Sir, my comments were not directed towards you, other wise I would have mentioned your name. They were generalized statements meant for those on the thread who were being exceptionally rude (if you look there were a couple). I apologize if you had taken offense to what I said as those were not my intentions. I apologize for flying off the handle but I did not mean to insinuate that you are a bully. I was simply making a generalized statement, which was not directed towards you, as well as putting some facts out there. Have a good night/day.
I said this on that thread. I don't support it so obviously I'm the devil and should be tossed on the street because 37% of gay teenagers killed themselves because I wouldn't accept them. Most supporters of lgbt are hypocritical and discriminatory towards anyone who doesn't agree with them. They'll say they have the right to believe what they want, but you don't have that right unless they agree with you. Among all of the social problems I've seen or learned about, this is the most annoying and obnoxious. Most opposers to homosexuality just say they don't like it and live their lives harmlessly, but get labelled homophobic and harassed by people like Mrs Poz who asserts their, obviously superior, beliefs onto everyone.
Funny thing is, nobody needs anyone's approval. There is no need to argue 'for' or 'against' homosexuality. It is a naturally occurring phenomenon. It is neither moral nor immoral. Thats like asking for approval or justification, for left-handedness. Everyone will always have their own opinions. Let them. There's no point arguing something that just is. Live your life as you choose and be happy. You are what you are.
if you agree with it, you don't have to pronounce it to the world 24/7. if you don't agree with it, you don't have to pronounce it to the world 24/7. I personally am for equal rights but I never push what I feel/think onto others. I understand that gay rights is really big right now and that's awesome, but I also feel like LGBT let their homosexuality define them more than heterosexuals. I think if we all really DO want to be equal, this is one major thing setting them apart.
Red tiger, how am I an idiot? For preaching what I believe? Or for believing in what I do? Things like that are hurtful and you shouldn't say them. I was simply apologizing to Sir, you needn't of been rude. You don't know me, therefore don't make assumptions about my intelligence. Ex, I'm pretty positive hypocrite doesn't mean what you think it means. Hypocrite: 1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of or religion 2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings My beliefs and feelings are pro LGBT, that members of that community are human, just like me and you, and therefore deserve equality, the same rights, as everyone else. I have not put on a false appearance of religion, nor have I acted contrary to what I believe in. Therefore, I am not a hypocrite.
If you're preaching anything then you should expect negative comments in return. Supporting and preaching are two entirely different things. I don't need someone trying to push their beliefs on me on a role playing game. Secondly, iEx's use of the word hypocrite is complete accurate. People who are as he says typically claim to (as you put it in definition) believe in the belief that people all have the right to speak their minds and support whatever the hell they want. Which is true, no? However when people go against that belief (non LGBT supporters in this case) those people are jumped on, simply for believing something different. Hypocritical, no? That being said, I am indifferent. I don't see the point in acting silly and randomly claiming my support for or against. To each their own.
Putting in my two cents before the lock, which will ultimately happen because this subject usually has very passionate people arguing both sides. So... The LGBT community is very passionate about rights because of the simple fact that they are not given the same rights as humans as other people. The civil rights movement in the 60's follows along this same vein, people were discriminated against for something they had no control over, and certain rights as Individuals were not given to them. There is nothing wrong with fighting for something you believe strongly in, what I don't agree with is the fact the people who are against the LGBT community usually (not always) fight with hate in their heart. I don't know why, whether it's just misunderstanding, or in Sir's case, a traumatic experience, but in my short time on this earth the LGBT movement fights with love, not hate. I see nothing wrong with wanting to be able to love who you want without judgement being passed. Question: how would you feel if you were told you couldn't love someone because their hair was brown, or their eyes were blue? How would you feel if you were judged for walking down the street and holding your significant others hand because they were short? It sounds silly doesn't it? To me it does. If you don't "support" the LGBT community, then so be it. It's not you who I have these questions for, it's the people who spew venom at those different than themselves. The hatred for something as beautiful as love between two people I will never understand. And to OP, I don't know what happened in your past, nor is it my business but what I have to say is this; perhaps your distaste should be pointed at the individual or individuals involved, and not an entire community. An entire population of people shouldn't be judged based on a single persons actions. Basically this is my long winded way of saying that love is too beautiful of an emotion to have conditions placed on it. Why would you want to stop someone from giving a piece of their souls to someone else? Or hate them for who they decided to give it to?
