Do you think LGBTs will eventually be all rounded up?

[Waylon Skinner]

I'm actually conservative in a lot of areas, but sometimes I wonder this. It seems that conservatives are upset with LGBT people being in society, to the point where they want them out of society. But the only why that's ever going to happen is if we rounded up all the "homosex'ls" and put them in concentration camps. Do you think this can be the ultimate goal for those who oppose LGBT or look at them with suspicion?

Oh, we know some say they can't be homophobic, but I don't know if these claims are really true.

I don't think any conservatives, at least in the US, would ever want to put anyone in a camp. Most conservatives it seems are not upset with the LGBT people as people but as getting free and equal protection under the law, basically many of them believe that LGBT people should keep quiet about everything. Again this is only in the US.

Somehow, it's just weird vibes I get from conservatives. I know most conservatives don't exactly hate gays as people, so much as they'd rather LGBT people keep quiet like you said. How do you expect LGBT people to keep quiet, though? I don't know if that even worked back in the old days.

[SUNTHREIT]

I can see why people would do that, so maybe.

[Randsbeik]

Some people, maybe. But the idea of concentration camps is pretty widely vilified even by most conservatives so you're going to be hard-pressed to find someone who not only agrees with the idea, but has the ability to make it a reality.

I think people tend to play up the "racist/sexist/x-phobic conservative" to unrealistic proportions.

[Caemenia]

Taking a wild guess that you're probably in the US, what you're describing would be constitutionally impossible. If The Donald can't ban Muslims from entering the country I'm pretty sure other forms of full scale discrimination will be impossible too.

US conservatives seem to forget that their nation was founded by minorities escaping persecution.

Basically some conservatives envision a world where LGBT people keep quiet about who they are dating, their sex life, not taking their spouse, partner, or SO into public, etc. You get the idea, basically some conservatives want the LGBT people to go back into the closet. And no it really didn't work in the past as that's how we got Stonewall and the Gay liberation movement

[Jello Biafra]

I might have thought this a while ago but tolerance for LGBTs is increasing, even among conservatives.

That's a pretty extreme and a bit Nazist idea, rounding up LGBT in concentration camps.

No offense, but the rounding up LGBT and putting then in concentration camps sounded like how the Nazi treated Jews. To me, I don't like LGBT too, but I have to tolerate them, because of the progressive society of today

You got stonewall because it was illegal to be gay at the time. It was a police raid that triggered stonewall, and the subsequent movement.

If it were about just being quiet..... not so sure. The religious component of western anti homosexualism people, I don't think would be satisfied with back in the closet as the Abrahamic faiths consider it to be a sin, and they consider it to be their religious duty to save sinners.

All that said it is not axiomatic that conservatives by definition are anti lgbt.

As an FYI it is how nazi's treated gays as well. Where do you think the pink triangle comes from?

That must be really tough for you. How do you cope?

Out of sight out of mind is what I was going for. If you can't see the gays how are you going to save them?

And yes, conservatives are not by definition anti LGBT

Most of the uproar from the right has been about trans.
There is actually quite a lot of support for the Lesian and Gay components of LGBQ within in GOP

My approach to the things I don't like is let them do as they like, though I personally think that socialism/communism and illegal drug uses have to be cracked down

My bad that read wrong, the first two paragraphs were targeted at you. The third at the OP.

As to your point, maybe...it wouldn't be as specifically directed.

One thing that I have cone around to your thinking is that gay marriage is an inherently conservative act. And that trying to create gay traditional families is something a family values movement should be applauding, not ostrascizing.

You didn't word it wrong, I knew what you meant. My last paragraph was more of a general statement backing yours up, than an answer. That's on me

[Arcanda]

Some conservatives are probably just angry at the over-exposure that LGBTQ+ get in the media.
I bet that does a disservice to some LGBTQ+ people, too.

But in the western world, I doubt so. Chechnya or Russia, one day, maybe.

No. This is a goal for the most extreme homophobes. Most homophobes would be happy with applying social pressure on queer folks to have them wither silently in despair, loneliness, poverty and fear - but away from their sight.

In the West most certainly not, Russia on the other hand...

Nah, camps won't happen. Many gay people are camp by themselves.

Also, yes, please put an otherwise sexually repressed group of people together in an area. [/sarcasm]

Well, it's arguing for the possibility of it and, in all fairness, I imagine this coming from how much Americans are increasingly seeing the other political party from their own as "The Other" and that there's the possibility that Americans will become so divided and contrasted that they will suggest shit like that.

Or that's my current reading of it.
