#HetrosexualPrideDay

[Lightknight]

Heterosexuality is normative. By default every parade is a straight-pride parade unless specifically designated otherwise.

This is utter nonsense and it's some of that progressive crap I'm tired of hearing to excuse the entitlement some of them have.

Why do many kids become goths, join gangs, pretend to be gay or trans, or try to find any other culture when they happen to be straight as well?

"...pretend to be gay or tans..." Did I miss something?

He actually doubles down on this in his next post.

many straight people (especially women) latch on to this group because they have none they strongly identify with

Complete honesty here: I think this is the first time that I've actually heard that claim... He's not even saying that LGBT is a lifestyle, just that people pretend to be so for the purpose of being accepted o.0

Accepted by a minority group, rejected by a majority group? Does the poster not know the discrimination faced by that group in most areas? By this logic, why would there ever be a gay person in a school with no other gay people in it? I... don't understand. Thanks for posting his followup.

Not only that, but the LGBT community will accept anyone that accepts them, pretty much. It isn't hard to be friends with LGBT people. You just have to treat them like people. You don't have to share a common interest in cock.

Well... hrm. Speaking as a trans person, plenty of intra-LGBTQ factionalism. Gay Liberation Front, etc. In fact, I think some of the most unlikeable encounters I've had have been other LGBTQ people. Sheila Jeffreys and her ilk, for instance (speaking as an Australian dealing with Australian-based TERFs). Which is part and parcel I don't wave rainbow, but the pink, blue and white pretty much.

Especially if you understand the philosophy behind the rainbow flag and its creation.

But on a whole ... yeah, pretty much. But there's some big voices in that community, and some of them advocate active inequality and disenfranchisement towards/of other members of the so-called 'big umbrella'. Frankly, it's never a good idea to generalize any group of people. Particularly when it white washes a lot of the ugliness.

I am familiar with some in-fighting but as far as gay-straight alliances you generally don't have to be anything other than accepting to be accepted right back.

The point is that a person doesn't have to "pretend to be gay" as the poster above stated in order to be accepted in these groups most of the time.

I have run into at least one non-binary trans person who decided "objectively" that all cis-males were terrible people. That was fun.

There are some weird ones, like gay supremacists and militant lesbian supremacists... There are also the "Drop the T" lesbians and gays who quietly also include the b for "dropping"... Inside the GSRM community there are plenty of separatist and supremacist groups, along with just catty cliquish asshats you find in every type of group.
