Genuinely interested. I’m an immigrant, but lived in the US for the past 10 years. Since I’ve moved, I’ve always felt that the gay people are pretty much untouchable in most cases. The situation is a bit different around the trans people, but from what my small research shows even the LGB people are sometimes against the “T” agenda. So what’s the point of this month and countless flags? Also the YouTube “am I gay” commercial? Are these people under attack? Something wrong?
Whats the point of independence day since we already have independence.
We don’t have independence month
But we still have a day why?
Why do you care?
If I shouldn’t care, why do I see it everywhere? Dumb question
He doesn’t care but rather baffled with this nonsense
Virtue Signaling
Yes some of us are attacked on a routine basis.
I worked with gay people, and my current team mate is a trans queer. Never ever have I seen any attack. They are also really cool and don’t scream about it everywhere. So maybe the problem is smth else?
I didn't say attacked at work. I mean in actual real life. It can also be variable based on if the person is "visibly" gay/lesbian or not and where they live. You're going off of the "if I don't see it happen, it doesn't exist" I have had rocks thrown at me, been spit at, snatched, etc. The worst being almost raped to "remind me I'm a woman". For reference I'm a masculine woman who dates women.
Provided you are being genuine and not trolling, yes, LGBT people have been everything from discriminated against to brutally murdered for a long time. I'd recommend you look up the Stonewall riots and Matthew Shepard at a minimum. The fact you have been here in the last 10 years probably accounts for why this doesn't seem like a big deal to you. The idea that gay people are just regular people is, frankly, pretty new in American culture. And that belief is far from universal, especially outside blue states. I grew up in the biggest hippy town ever and we all used the worst homophobic slurs imaginable in junior high school (mid 90s era). We literally didn't even consider these words were on par with any given racial slur.
THIS!! 💯
I agree. It’s hard to be gay for a whole month. Last month I was Asian and I barely understood what my dry cleaner was saying to me.
Listen, if you've been scarfing down dongs for 29 days and on day 30 you call it quits, you're a part of the problem
It’s so that corporations can signal their virtue and increase their sales. It’s pure business, like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The bottom line is everyone is out for themselves. So it doesn't surprise me gay people could be against trans people. Also my supervisor is gay and he uses it as a shield to say the most misogynistic, homophobic and bigoted shit I've ever heard, but he feels like he's a Saint who's shit doesn't stink because he's a leftist liberal. That's how it is in CA, Leftist Liberals (especially white) are no different and no better than the Right-wing Conservatives. The same shit gets pulled only under a thin veil of being on "their" side. Surprise, surprise, you can be gay, liberal and still be homophobic and racist.
The anti white agenda is getting old, I’m white but been told by a black American to leave the country since he hates immigrants
everyone is unique we should have a month for each individual
Sir when Indian month?
When straight white people month? When “kids should grow in families” month?
