No, you literally do not get a say in how other people conduct their romantic and sexual lives. So, if you leave people tf alone, and don't want to take away their rights or keep them from living their lives or forcing them to hide in the shadows, congratulations, I don't care about what you think. So long as it doesn't affect our lives, carry on or whatever.

First of all, why do you get a say but not me? Second of all, I'm not forcing anyone to do anything?! Third of all, what the heck?

Because it's — get this — not your life. I get a say in my life. You don't.

Did you read anything I actually wrote, or did you just press reply and type whatever words pop up the fastest?

If we can't dictate each others lives, you can't dictate what I say

You also can't dictate who I am. I'm not a bigot. Get that straight

Bigots love to say they aren't bigots. Bigotry is dictated by actions, not identity. If I say "I'm not a math teacher," but continue to go to work and teach math, I am, in fact, a math teacher. If you do something bigoted on purpose, you are a bigot.

You may have the freedom to say almost anything you want to say, but you are not free from the consequences of what you say. If you say something bigoted, be prepared to be called bigoted. This is not news.

He said he's not a bigot? That's something a bigot would say! That's kinda how it feels you're acting. Tell me, how am I a bigot

Do you walk up to gay people who aren't asking you, and tell them your beliefs about how they're wrong for being gay?

Um... No

Um... No

then why did you get defensive when i said that doing that was bigotry

[Floofybit]

Um... No

then why did you get defensive when i said that doing that was bigotry

Cause I thought you were saying I was doing that. I meant no harm

[Stagnant Axon Terminal]

I was not, I was asking if you did.

And I do not

Then carry on. If you're leaving people alone, then idc how you live your own life or what you think about us.

I am not going to mince words.

The ultimate goal of conservatives with regards to LGBT people is genocide. This is why they are making steps to push gay people back into the closet, into a place where LGBT people can be easily corralled for extermination.

It would be children's books that depict LGBT people, LGBT couples, ones that aren't even sexually explicit. Different-sex couple good, same-sex couple bad, says conservatives regarding children's books. It would be banning transgender healthcare across the board, making it astronomically impossible for transgender people to get the healthcare they need regarding gender transition. It would be banning transgender people from participating in sports, even mixed gender sports. Eventually it will extend to every single LGBT athlete being banned from sports across the board.

Eventually conservatives will take away LGBT people's livelihoods and property, making it impossible for them to sustainably live. Once this is done, they will ban homosexuality, transgenderism, and gender non-conformity.

Make no mistake, it is happening in front of your eyes.

as a rightist asexual i know this isnt what most conservatives are going for. saying the goal of conservatives is genocide is some flat earth conspiracy level shit.

A right winger LGBT person makes as much sense to me as a Nazi Jew, pro-Columbus Native American, or a pro-Trump Muslim.

You're more milquetoast libertarian than stereotypical Republican in that case.

You think a right winger LGBT person doesn't make sense? Well, you need to learn to be happy with one right here

"Well, you need to be happy with an Imposter, crewmate."

[Dumb Ideologies]

Honestly plenty of our LGBT users aren't the stereotype of pride-flag waving, super progressive libertarian leftists. This is a site full of political nerds, and that means you tend to get a fair share of people who go against the grain in some manner of their politics from what you'd expect of a member of "their community" (particularly if they don't actually have much to do with said community).

I know some LGBT right wingers and none of them what to change who they are or marry a woman so they can a family they produced as you put it.

know what? You want something that is impossible and want to be miserable so you can create a family. You do what you want but marrying someone you don't love won't bring you or the other person happiness.

There's a difference between love and sexual attraction.
