    This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They’re people, just like everyone else, and I’m sure there’s some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they’re just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.

    I consider myself an ally, and I’ll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats… It doesn’t matter.

    IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.

    My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.

      wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.

      what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?

        It’s obviously not a good thing but, in this particular case, it was the cheating promoting a very wholesome outcome.

        The cheater got the boot. The cheated got ahead in life.

        Game. Set. Match.

      They are still after me, generations have passed and those lesbian friends of my great great great great father do not how to quit

      I tried stabbing, burning, decapitation, even slicing them up in little pieces using a blender. They always return

      I do not know how much longer I can take it, this bloodline needs to end with me, it is the only way for the curse to end. The curse of the eternal lesbians

      .* becomes gay .*

    Fake but people will upvote anything that creates propaganda for their preferred narrative 🙄. No critical thinking.
