What the LGBT community needs to do is get over themselves and stop playing victim

I know people who are victimized by the LGBT community on a daily basis. I doubt anybody gives a hoot if the guy across the street is doing the other guy. You have your own church and religion that approve of your same sex marriage so you the LGBT community should stop and try to force your views and homosexuality on people who do not agree.

“is get over the”

The LGBTQ isn't playing victim we are victims. As a member of the LGBTQ, I can say that yes a lot of people care who I'm sexually attracted to. I get harassed all the time for being pansexual and nonbinary. We don't force our views on anyone all we ask is to be treated equally to cis and straight people.

 @WhatisaWoman? from Michigan  commented…2yrs2Y

This argument is just like transgenderism: full of lies. First off, every single company, along with the government, and the media, supports you guys. You are the most unvictimized people of all time. Second, you don't force your views on anybody? Have you heard of this little thing called pride month? Where all this rainbow garbage is shoved down our throats, once again by EVERY SINGLE COMPANY, for a whole month? And lastly, you do not want to be treated equally to normal people, because if a man says he is a woman, he expects to be allowed into a bathroom meant for people of the opposite sex. Everyone else is expected to go to the bathroom that is meant for their sex, but "trans" people expect it to be different for them.

  1. Transgenderism is no longer the correct term for being trans and is a slur.
  2. Many companies do not support gays, and the government and media definitely do not.
  3. Pride month is a month to remember the struggle the LGBTQ+ community has faced and to celebrate diversity. Women and people of color also have months for the same reason.
  4. So we should force people to use the bathroom of the opposite gender and subject them to extreme discomfort. As a transwoman, it is painful to have to use the men's bathroom. Also many trans people would prefer unisex bathrooms.

but whait i forgot going to the men's restroom if you where born a boy and going to the ladys restroom if you where born a girl is way worse than watching someone die slowly very slowly while you have the choice to leave him behind and live or stay with him and hope you can get out alive

Oh, no! Boohoo, so sad how regular people want rights!! How disruptive to my ignorance of the status quo!! Get a grip on reality. If anything straight people are the ones “forcing” it on others by doing and saying stuff like this.

 @96BY4HQ from Oklahoma  disagreed…3yrs3Y

“the LGBT community should stop and try to force your views and homosexuality on people who do not agree.”

Although you stated that LGBTQ+ people shove their sexuality on other people, I find it to be quite the opposite. Some people call their kids a "lady killer" and to "keep them away from all the ladies/men" basically forcing the image that they are straight. Although when it's in terms of the kid liking the same gender, the kid is "too young to know what they like". Some cishet Christians also say that LGBTQ+ people are going to hell if they don't convert and repent their "sin" of being gay.

 @WhatisaWoman? from Michigan  commented…2yrs2Y

Well, being gay is a sin.

Leviticus 18:22 ESV: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

Do you wear clothes of mixed fabrics? Do you eat pork? Do you eat shellfish? Do you eat cheeseburgers? If you do any of these your sin is as egregious as a homosexual's.

Well you see they only hold the Bible to its word when it's convenient.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

It was referring to pedophilia...

 @eager_ellaSocialist from Indiana  disagreed…2yrs2Y

It's important to remember that the Bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted in various ways throughout history. Leviticus also mentions other rules, such as not wearing clothing made of two different fabrics or not eating shellfish, which many people do not follow today. We must consider the historical context in which these texts were written and recognize that our understanding of morality and human rights has evolved over time. Should we not prioritize love, acceptance, and equality for all, regardless of their sexual orientation? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how we can reconcile religious beliefs with the need for equal rights for all individuals, including those in same-sex relationships.

 @WhatisaWoman? from Michigan  commented…2yrs2Y

There is a difference between "don't eat shellfish" and "don't have sex with another man." One was a rule meant to distinguish Israel from other cultures. The other is a rule that still applies today. Marriage is specifically between a man and a woman. Also, love is important, yes, but the type of love that is biblical is wanting what is best for others, and not just accepting everyone. Also, saying a man cannot marry another man is equality. After all, we are not letting straight people marry the same sex. The rule applies for everyone.

  @Renaldo-MoonGreen  from Pennsylvania  disagreed…6mos6MO

Expert Gay Marriage

If the straight people are marrying for sex and its consensual and both partners are happy there's no problem with that.

 @9R5M6HM  from Washington  commented…9mos9MO

How does the LGBT community of over 23 million people (in the US alone) victimize people you know on a daily basis? Is it actually just a member of the community, or does the entire community “single (someone) out for cruel or unjust treatment.” every day? Either one seems highly unlikely, unless their “victimization” is simply people calling out their homophobic, violent, and undeveloped ideas that they post on facebook?

I would like to add, people like YOU are the reason that the LGBT community still has to fight for their rights, and live in fear. I truly wish you the best, I hope you find happiness and let go of your anger and resentments.

 @9VNDFCDPeace and Freedom  from Utah  commented…7mos7MO

This is absolute and freaking bullsh*t. If you actually open your eyes and stop being a self centered, homophobic ****** , you'd see that the LGBTQ community is harassed, treated differently, and absolutely hated in most places. They get judged hard and harassed about how they choose to identify as. Several teachers don't respect the students opinions in school, and that literally happens in elementary schools. The older these wonderful people get, the harsher the world becomes. There are people who literally deny to help or serve to anyone who even looks like they are a part of…  Read more

When you are apart of a group or ideology, when a case of abuse happens in your group, even if one bad instance happens from a friend you know, it's going to be the center of your attention. That goes for conservatives and the LGBTQ. When a conservative has a bad experience, or they know a friend who has had a bad experience with someone who is apart of the LGBTQ community, the instance will be emphasized. When someone who is apart of the LGBTQ community has a negative encounter with someone who is conservative and not pro-LGBTQ, that encounter will be emphasized. In my opinion, the con…  Read more

FBI Director Chris Wray Will Resign

The F.B.I. director, Christopher A. Wray, told bureau employees on Wednesday that he intended to resign before the Trump administration begins, bowing to the reality that President-elect Donald J. Trump had publicly declared his desire to replace him.Mr. Wray made the disclosure while addressing employees Wednesday afternoon in remarks that tacitly acknowledged the politically charged position the F.B.I. now faces with an incoming president who openly scorns the agency.“I’ve decided the right thing for the bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in January and then step down,” Mr. Wray said, adding, “This is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.”The director spoke wistfully about his time at the F.B.I. “This is not easy for me,” he said. “I love this place, I love our mission and I love our people.”The announcement comes after Mr. Trump said in late November that he intended to nominate Kash Patel, a longtime loyalist, to run the F.B.I., and more than two years before Mr. Wray’s 10-year term would have expired.Paul Abbate, the deputy F.B.I. director, is set to retire in April but would typically serve as acting director until Mr. Patel is confirmed. It is not clear who would replace Mr. Abbate, the most senior agent in the bureau.Over more than seven years, Mr. Wray oversaw one of the most consequential and tumultuous periods in the bureau’s history, juggling high-profile criminal investigations of political figures, heated congressional inquiries and two attempted assassinations of Mr. Trump.

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
