The fringe is always the most vocal.I hear you, and agree the behavior you've experienced is wrong and unacceptable (assuming one doesn't instigate). I don't mean to diminish your experience, but I've lived through threats of violence and death and know many who have been beaten for being LGBT. Thankfully, not so much these days, and I'd like to stay on this trend. But, we keep trying to slide back.
Hell, there are evangelical preachers today calling for the stoning/imprisonment/death of LGBT people to the applause and amens of their congregations. I am, unfortunately, intimately familiar with faith-based hate. And we've seen Nancy Mace railing about trans people and bathrooms for days, saying it's about protecting biological women. But she's totally good with a sexual predator colleague being nominated for AG. She's a fraudulent grandstander, and its disgusting she's making life hell for a new member of Congress who has done nothing wrong. All for political capital.
You ignorant ass. No one in @gcbvol “group” advocates for accepting pedophilla. He's told you what he thinks. Those who do he doesn't accept or are part of his group. You are the perfect example of bigotry. The best part is you openly admit it. Sad part is you are too lost to see why. Poor poor jussieI'm glad you came back. I have a serious question for you. I noticed you use LGBT several times in this thread. Why are you alienating the rest? You're excluding queer, intersex, asexual, that 2-spirit thing, the + (And we both know what some in you group want that + to include...), and whatever else I'm missing that may have been added today. Why are you being exclusive? Thank you.
Sorry I missed this. Yes, I am older. I'm 54, married (31 years next month), and recently retired. So, using only LGBT or LGBTQ isn't necessarily exclusionary. In my view, the full acronym is more useful or important at an organizational level. We do work with local LGBTQ+ nonprofits, and I understand it means something for intersex, asexual, etc. to feel they belong. I always try to treat people with respect, so what I use is going to depend on setting and audience. Just because I don't always use QIA+ does not mean I do not see them as part of our community.So when I'm seeing their safe group constantly changing names my curiosity takes me to a proud member of that group who only calls them LGBT. This leads me to believe that he's an older gent (35-50) and more of an OG who keeps it simple, or rather keeps it to what he knows best. But I don't know for sure, so I asked him why he's excluding all the new ones.
Bold - I know he can, he doesn't need your sorry butt to needlessly and pathetically defend him now does he?
Thank you. My younger cousin, 30ish - yes gay and married, is all about the newest thing. Updates the fam on the community. Prides himself on being as welcoming as possible, yadda yadda, and tells us all about it at family functions. His posts on Facebook (Yes he still uses it) regarding all things he's doing LGBT related (Lives in Seattle...) includes all of the newest letters, numbers, symbols, etc. My older aunt, 55ish, not married but the same partner for like 30 years, couldn't care any less. Never even uses LGBT or talks about it. Even drives a Subaru - she knows I love that. I was genuinely curious regarding you because as you have seen I figured you were older. Not OLD, just "Older" than the younger dudes who speak differently and I wanted to know if my suspicions were correct. I am rather blunt in person and online and prefer to be so instead of beating around the bush. Sometimes that means taking things the wrong way, sometimes the right way. As you have seen I have gathered a colorful fanbase who like to jump at me when I involved myself in pretty much any thread. I love it. I'll respond to them later when I feel like it - ha.Sorry I missed this. Yes, I am older. I'm 54, married (31 years next month), and recently retired.
