Exactly. Might I also add that while many anti abortion people say it's acceptable if the mother's life is in danger...why is it now so many doctors (especially OB and ER doctors) have to be so fearful of prison or loss of licence even with proof of the mother's danger? Or when there is proof of miscarriage with no chance of it reversing, and the mother is left to bleed out until the "heartbeat" is gone. Laws have become too restricted vague for the exceptions. You can't allow exceptions then turn around and make those exceptions impossible to happen. Edited to fix my restrictions and exceptions mix-ups

In some states they even require the husband's permission! I'm in Louisiana and technically still married to my ex. I had uterine cancer and needed a hysterectomy they wanted me to break a restraining order to have him come in with me to agree to sign off on a hysterectomy. I said f@ck that and went to another state which is sad that I had to do that but yeah women have no say over their bodies at all.

Churches, etc. are businesses. They are in the business of religion and should be treated as such. Agnostic business must pay taxes so should those with beliefs.

It's called The Golden Rule - He who has the gold, makes the rules.

This made me laugh. I think this person must be fun to be around.

A few years ago on a chat show here in the uk, a young man was on telling his story about how his girlfriend was physically and emotionally abusing him and how it drove him to consider jumping off his balcony. People in the audience were giggling at him until the presenter snapped at them.

I had a 21 year old mentally disabled kid on disability who complained about people living off the government. Kept telling him that he was the one. Of course if he understood that he would not have been on disability.

If he was a single dad he would get all the praise in the world, but a single mom is just kind of normal, even looked down on in some instances.

Lol, this one is pretty funny too.

Likewise antisemitism (or prejudice against any other religion) is not okay, no matter what your religion is.

I always found the football fans weirder than the cosplayers.

Agreed, it happens and it's unacceptable but also when reversed it's often - she's 16, she knew what she was doing.

Yup. I have yet to see this being said to the person creating the drama. It's absolutely always applied to the innocent party to make them shut up!

Yup

Also it's completely normal that a company sees employment as a business transaction (which is true), but if an employee sais they're there for the money they're seen as too materialistic and having not enough passion for the job.

I know this is a joke, but it's hilarious. OR ... is it a joke?

USA/Israel/China/Russia anyone?

I wanted to be a teacher once I am so very glad that I did not

Everyone seems to need someone to look down on

I've had to defend being bi a lot. Thankfully this younger generation finally sees the existence of bi people and the older gays and lesbians are finally catching on too. The main reason they have a hard time believing is because almost all gays and lesbians (at least back in the day) came out as bi first. It really is/was a novel idea to them that bi people exist.

There was never true cohesion in the so called community. Gay men's interests have often been different than the wants and needs of lesbians. Trans folks (gender)have no real relationship with homosexuals (orientation). We have, at times, created loose coalitions to get certain things done, but there are huge differences in culture that some people just refuse to recognize.

Yes, I recall coming across this as long ago as the 1980s, when 'gay' people would quite commonly claim that you were either straight or gay, with no middle ground and that anyone claiming to be bi (let alone any of the more recent labels now commonly used) was just in denial.

I'm bisexual and have been told that some lesbians have issues with that; apparently you have to choose one sex or the other as it's seen as greedy?! I've also had boyfriends in the past that have actually asked if I'll sleep with women when they're not with me?! Honestly; no.1 I could do that if I was straight but I doubt they'd ask that and no. 2, how much free time so they think I have?! :P

It's a broader issue for the whole woke liberal hivemind. They purport fairness, inclusiveness and openness but will not tolerate questioning of their beliefs, will not reflect on the consequences of their actions and use aggressive bullying tactics against anyone who dares speak out against them. Their behaviour is far worse than the people they rail against.

Im so glad i am in really good queer spaces :)

The hate I got for playing Hogwarts Legacy made me so sour it made me nearly denounce myself from the LGBTQ+ community. Like yeah I understand that JK is a terrible person but your complaining about this on a smartphone made in a Chinese sweatshop and powered by batteries of lithium mined by child slaves.

This absolutely baffles me. You’re fighting from a position of minority where your rights are not protected but you choose to hate on people who don’t fit your notions of the right kind of minority.

Or incredibly biased towards straight people. If you want rights, fine, but give the same rights to all and once you have them, just live. I don't shove my views down your throat.

It's also common for members of the LGBTQ community to be hostile toward asexuals.

I've found that those that shout 'peace and tolerance' the loudest are usually the least peaceful and tolerant.

As A Gay Person, This Makes Me Sick

The amount of hatred and erasure I've seen towards asexuals is alarming.

Using the LGBTQ "Card" and not doing your job

As someone in the club, we're also very quick to scream accusations at one another for imaginary bias. "He dates white guys, must be racist" or "He isn't into femme men" "OH, he has internalized homophobia." I'm not saying the OP is wrong, but a substantial portion of the perceived biases I've witnessed were, shall I say, highly subjective opinions rather than facts.

As an aroace woman, I've seen a few anti-ace gay people. Luckily, though, they seem to be few and far between.

Obviously, I cant speak for anyone's experience except my own; but I have found that the intolerance and exclusionist rhetoric in lgbtq+ spaces seems amplified beyond the reality in online queer spaces. I was really nervous because of this when I went to my first in-person lgbt meetup, I was just sure they would reject me or, more likely, just have no idea that my orientation and gender were even a real thing. But instead, I was totally embraced by the group. There were gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trans folks, the whole works and everybody was so supportive of each other. It was a tiny group and we had to be careful because we were mostly students attending a nearby university which is owned by a very queerphobic church organization, so any one of us could have been kicked out for going to these meetings. All this to say, queer spaces and meet-ups aren't perfect, but they still need to be protected.

I'm not sure a lot of people understand what this one is saying: There is a LOT of racism, sexism, transphobia, and even homophobia in the LGBTQ+ community, and I think a lot of it has to do with this obsession with categorization. Gay men tend to either express disgust for, or alternatively completely fetishize Asian men. Lots of gay people hate trans people, and there are even people in the comments to this post acting like they're more admirable gays because they aren't feminine or "putting it in everyone's face".

To be honest, as a woman SA also gets excused and downplayed a lot and people try to shame me too for 'ruining' someone's career over a 'misunderstood compliment'.

Same with the government

THIS. it's not 50/50 it's 100/100
