The reason why I’m asking this question is because I do love reading yuri hentai doujinshi everyday and I personally do not care about what two consenting adults are doing in the privacy of their own home.

I just do not want to support the lgbt community because I think those people are weirdos. But I don’t think that what they’re doing is morally wrong. Similar to incest. I think a brother and a sister that are both consenting adults being in an incestuous relationship with eachother is not morally wrong as long as they do not have a child together. But I still think that they’re weirdos for doing that.

      And specifically what kind of “weirdo”? If you only meant that they are relatively uncommon, that’s obviously true, but I suspect you mean something more significant than merely “there are fewer of them than cishet folks”.

        I think anyone that is parading on the streets wearing skimpy outfits and celebrating and their sexual orientation are weirdos.

        But I don’t think gay men or lesbian women are weirdos. I think that gay men and lesbian women should have the right to get married.

        But the lgbt community having a pride parade about their sexual orientation is just really weird in my opinion. Because it doesn’t matter if your straight, bisexual, gay or lesbian if you make your entire sexual orientation your personality then yeah you are a weirdo in my opinion.

          without acceptance, there can’t be equality
          without a conversation, there can’t be acceptance
          without awareness, there can’t be a conversation
          without activists, there can’t be awareness

          right now, there is a severe lack of acceptance, and the conversation is toxic.
          unfortunately this is a necessity, if it wasn’t needed, it wouldn’t be done.

          So I guess Brazilians are weirdos because they parade in carnaval dancing around and in skimpy outfits :)

          I think from the comments you have written that you need to reevaluate the meaning of what support of the lgbtq community means. Support is supporting their right to have the private life and sexual orientation they have without being punished for it. I think you are already at that point. You support that community.

          Maybe you don’t agree with the parades and find them excessive and weird, but those parades are there as a response to those that don’t support them and would prefer to hide them (or worse). And I’m sure those parades have given a bunch of people the courage to admit and accept their own sexuality as they saw there was nothing wrong with it.

          In other words, the support they need has nothing to do with the parades, you can be supportive and disagree on the parades, but at the end of the day, the best you can do is ignore the parades.

      I guess I should have clarify what I mean by that I don’t think gays and lesbians are weirdos. I just think people in the lgbt community are weirdos because of the pride parades.

      Not all gay men and lesbian women are supportive of the lgbt community. There are some gay men and lesbians women that do not support the lgbt community simply because they feel like the pride parade that the lgbt community does is a little too far. And they think calling trans women women or trans men men is stupid and calling people that are not trans Cis is also stupid.

        Your heart’s in the right place, but I think you need to learn more about the LGBT community. Stuff that doesn’t come from sources trying to paint it as sinful or a corrruption of society.

        Honestly, a lot of anti-LGBT talk is just an evolution of anti-woman talk. They were oppressed and made to feel shame for who they are, and then they decided they weren’t going to take it anymore. There is no shame. Only pride.

        Misogynists tried to demonise the entire feminist movement by saying “look at those radical feminists who just hate men. They’re all ugly and weird!” Looking back, a lot of the men who did that were projecting hard, since they were rarely attractive or sensible themselves.

        Then a bunch of women who listened to those misogynists a little too much took the lessons to heart, not wanting to hate women but being taught they should. So they say “I can’t support feminism because of those radicals”, or “I’m not like other girls, I’m one of the good ones!” It’s still misogyny. It’s just a self-serving sort.

        But all it takes to be feminist is to think women should have equal rights to men. And all it takes to support the LGBT community is to say they shouldn’t be persecuted for being who they are.

          I agree that do not know much about the lgbt community. Because the only time I see them is when the have those massive pride parades in downtown Toronto. I do not have any friends that I’m aware of are gay or lesbian. Because I never ask anyone of my friends what their sexual orientation is because it’s just not any of my business to know that.
