You believe that upholding traditional family values and gender roles will lead to a more stable and morally grounded society.
The "Anti-LGBT" political ideology refers to a set of beliefs, attitudes, and policies that oppose or discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals and their rights. This ideology is often rooted in religious, moral, or social convictions that perceive non-heterosexual orientations and non-cisgender identities as unnatural, immoral, or a threat to traditional societal norms.
The history of anti-LGBT political ideology is as old as the recognition of LGBT identities themselves. Throughout history, societies across the globe have held varying…

Have you ever had to stand up for a friend who was being discriminated against, and what did that experience teach you?
@9JQ3HPW4mos4MO
That treating someone differently just because they like the same gender is a horrible thing to do, no matter on your religion everybody should respect the other and period.
@9JQLTH34mos4MO
People’s feelings towards other people and about their own gender identities is something that shouldn’t be treated as if it’s bad. It’s not a choice for these people, and to discriminate against other humans over something they cannot help is horrible.
@9JQ4BXM4mos4MO
I've never really been in a situation like this but if i was I would stand up for whoever is being discriminated against.
@9JRCF9D4mos4MO
when I was 10 I was in a store with a friend and the man behind the counter started to follow us while we looked for snacks, and when we did find something we wanted he told us we "better not try to hide something in our pockets because he knows we'd try something" but we we're 10 years old
@9JR8HYX 4mos4MO
Yes, I have, mostly to family members with more conservative views. Those experiences have mostly taught me that not all minds can be changed, and we should all just be ourselves regardless of what people around us think, as long as we are not harming anybody.
Of course I have, I completely disagree with that topic. No one should be discriminated against for just being who they are.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What personal experiences have shaped your views on the importance of diversity and inclusion in society?
@9JPCMS84mos4MO
I am a trans man and i think we need to teach students when they are young about tolerance, due to the fact that intolerance is taught not something you are born with.
@9JQ6H8KLibertarian4mos4MO
kids aren’t born with hate towards specific groups they are influenced by their environment and people around them beliefs
@9JQVCFL4mos4MO
Because no one is born racist and being taught that would help with being connected to the community
I am transgender and have studied psychology. It is true that people are born with a tendency to mistrust those that are different from us, while also having pro-social tendencies to those who are more similar to us. Teaching kids about this tendency is important so they are less likely to be violent or intolerant of others.

People are free to believe in whatever they want to believe in, but do not try to influence others. Kids should know about LGBTQ things and be tolerant.
@9JQBFJX4mos4MO
Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, but do not influence others and brainwash into making them think that a certain side is right, they should be able to think freely without outside influence or pressure.
@9JPCMV64mos4MO
People are free to believe in whatever they want to believe in, but do not try to influence others. This includes children. They should not be taught about LGBTQ things. Should be focused on real life things such as writing letters, how taxes work, how to write a check, etc.
@9L4MR962mos2MO
LGBTQ+ issues are just as important as how to write a check. Writing a check is becoming less and less common, whereas the acceptance on LGBTQ+ people is going up. It being thought in school is important to ensure that a marginalized group doesn't gain even more prejudice.
@9JQ4VHB4mos4MO
People are confused when they meet me, or flat-out being ignorant. I think inclusivity would help relieve some of that. I'm not saying to do it in a way that we are forcing others to like us, but in a way to help them understand that we aren't trying to "groom" their children.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How does the idea of unconditional love play into your thoughts on relationships that may not fit traditional norms?
@9JHNC2B4mos4MO
love is love and people should be able to love whoever they want
@9JJCTH54mos4MO
I agree as long as its between to mutually consenting adults. or mutually consenting minors. those should never cross btw. People should be free to love whoever they wat without judgement or discrimination.
@9JHP2YD4mos4MO
religion shouldn't be in the voting system at all. No mater what religion it should be common sense. the only reason LGBT got banned in some states is because of religion.
@9JHN9WJ4mos4MO
Everyone is human and i dont really think it matters who we are romantically attracted to, love is love and we cant control who we love, so to use that against someone in a political stance just kind of debunks whatever they are saying as a politician because why are you as a politician who is supposed to be for the people, judging the said people who are supposed to put you in power.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Why do you think some people believe that being LGBT is a choice?
@9HH85WWPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
I think people who aren't educated on this topic will have different views.
@9HH7XR5 6mos6MO
Some people believe that being LGBT is a choice because of it being used to gain advantages such as men transitioning to women in order to gain a advantage in sports and also because seeing such a huge upsurge of people coming out makes it almost seem like a trend to some people for example huge amounts of people coming out as Bi even though they stay and always have been in heterosexual relationships.
@9HH83W76mos6MO
The reasoning for this is because no one can choose for another person whether their going to be straight or not. They can't change who they are and have to except who they are.
@9HH85C96mos6MO
Because you choose who you are attracted to and you choose who you want to be with
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What are your thoughts on the idea that love is love, regardless of gender?
@9HH8YWDConstitution6mos6MO
let them do what they want if they tell me what to do or beleave I wont listen or support that group.
@9HH8PDL6mos6MO
I think no matter what gender you are or what gender someone else is I think that they can love and have a relationship with whoever they want.
@9HH8J7J6mos6MO
i think its weird that people make it there whole personality that they like the same gender
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Have you ever changed a view or belief because it negatively affected someone you care about?
@9JS8ZL5 4mos4MO
yes, i have i was raised christian my entire life and when i had friends who were part of the lgbtq+ i realized no matter what i still loved these people and it didnt change who they were as a person.
@9JSJ27MLibertarian4mos4MO
Yes, I was ant LGBTQ for a long time because I didn't understand it, but my brother and my cousin are both trans and I am sympathetic towards them and my view on it has shifted.
@9JS994CIndependent4mos4MO
Yes, I had seen how many things hurt my friends that might have benefited me, and changed my stance.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might your life be different if you were unable to express your true self freely?
@9JHMZLK4mos4MO
I would feel that I would have less freedom and be uncomfortable expressing myself.
@9JLC45BLibertarian4mos4MO
we live in a free country. we can disagree on certain topics and ideas. We should be penalized for that
@9JJNJZS4mos4MO
If I wasn't able to express myself freely I would feel very uncomfortable in my everyday life because I would be having to change who i am as a person[.
@9JHN2KF4mos4MO
I feel as though nothing would change for me, I know that
